End User License Agreement READ THIS END USER LICENSE AGREEMENT ("AGREEMENT") BEFORE DOWNLOADING, INSTALLING, OR USING THE SOFTWARE. BY DOWNLOADING, INSTALLING, OR USING THE SOFTWARE OR OTHERWISE EXPRESSING YOUR AGREEMENT TO THE TERMS CONTAINED HEREIN, YOU (AS CUSTOMER OR IF YOU ARE NOT THE CUSTOMER, AS A REPRESENTATIVE/AGENT AUTHORIZED TO BIND THE CUSTOMER) CONSENT TO BE BOUND BY THIS AGREEMENT. IF YOU DO NOT OR CANNOT AGREE TO THE TERMS CONTAINED HEREIN, THEN (A) DO NOT DOWNLOAD, INSTALL, OR USE THE SOFTWARE, AND (B) YOU MAY CONTACT JUNIPER NETWORKS REGARDING LICENSE TERMS. 1. The Parties. The parties to this Agreement are Juniper Networks, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively Juniper), and the person or organization that originally purchased from Juniper or an authorized Juniper reseller the applicable license(s) for use of the Software (Customer) (collectively, the Parties). 2. The Software. In this Agreement, Software means the program modules and features of the Juniper or Juniper-supplied software, and updates and releases of such software, for which Customer has paid the applicable license or support fees to Juniper or an authorized Juniper reseller. 3. License Grant. Subject to payment of the applicable fees and the limitations and restrictions set forth herein, Juniper grants to Customer a non-exclusive and non-transferable license, without right to sublicense, to use the Software, in executable form only, subject to the following use restrictions: a. Customer shall use the Software solely as embedded in, and for execution on, Juniper equipment originally purchased by Customer from Juniper or an authorized Juniper reseller, unless the applicable Juniper documentation expressly permits installation on non-Juniper equipment. b. Customer shall use the Software on a single hardware chassis having a single processing unit, or as many chassis or processing units for which Customer has paid the applicable license fees. c. Product purchase documents, paper or electronic user documentation, and/or the particular licenses purchased by Customer may specify limits to Customers use of the Software. Such limits may restrict use to a maximum number of seats, registered endpoints, concurrent users, sessions, calls, connections, subscribers, clusters, nodes, or transactions, or require the purchase of separate licenses to use particular features, functionalities, services, applications, operations, or capabilities, or provide throughput, performance, configuration, bandwidth, interface, processing, temporal, or geographical limits. Customers use of the Software shall be subject to all such limitations and purchase of all applicable licenses.

The foregoing license is not transferable or assignable by Customer. No license is granted herein to any user who did not originally purchase the applicable license(s) for the Software from Juniper or an authorized Juniper reseller. 4. Use Prohibitions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the license provided herein does not permit the Customer to, and Customer agrees not to and shall not: (a) modify, unbundle, reverse engineer, or create derivative works based on the Software; (b) make unauthorized copies of the Software (except as necessary for backup purposes); (c) rent, sell, transfer, or grant any rights in and to any copy of the Software, in any form, to any third party; (d) remove any proprietary notices, labels, or marks on or in any copy of the Software or any product in which the Software is embedded; (e) distribute any copy of the Software to any third party, including as may be embedded in Juniper equipment sold in the secondhand market; (f) use any locked or key-restricted feature, function, service, application, operation, or capability without first purchasing the applicable license(s) and obtaining a valid key from Juniper, even if such feature, function, service, application, operation, or capability is enabled without a key; (g) distribute any key for the Software provided by Juniper to any third party; (h) use the Software in any manner that extends or is broader than the uses purchased by Customer from Juniper or an authorized Juniper reseller; (i) use the Software on non-Juniper equipment where the Juniper documentation does not expressly permit installation on non-Juniper equipment; (j) use the Software (or make it available for use) on Juniper equipment that the Customer did not originally purchase from Juniper or an authorized Juniper reseller; or (k) use the Software in any manner other than as expressly provided herein. 5. Audit. Customer shall maintain accurate records as necessary to verify compliance with this Agreement. Upon request by Juniper, Customer shall furnish such records to Juniper and certify its compliance with this Agreement. 6. Confidentiality. The Parties agree that aspects of the Software and associated documentation are the confidential property of Juniper. As such, Customer shall exercise all reasonable commercial efforts to maintain the Software and associated documentation in confidence, which at a minimum includes restricting access to the Software to Customer employees and contractors having a need to use the Software for Customers internal business purposes. 7. Ownership. Juniper and Junipers licensors, respectively, retain ownership of all right, title, and interest (including copyright) in and to the Software, associated documentation, and all copies of the Software. Nothing in this Agreement constitutes a transfer or conveyance of any right, title, or interest in the Software or associated documentation, or a sale of the Software, associated documentation, or copies of the Software. 8. Warranty, Limitation of Liability, Disclaimer of Warranty. The warranty applicable to the Software shall be as set forth in the warranty statement that accompanies the Software (the Warranty Statement). Nothing in this Agreement shall give rise to any obligation to support the Software. Support services may be purchased separately. Any such support shall be governed by a separate, written support services agreement. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, JUNIPER SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY LOST PROFITS, LOSS OF DATA, OR COSTS OR PROCUREMENT OF SUBSTITUTE GOODS OR SERVICES, OR FOR ANY SPECIAL, INDIRECT, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT, THE SOFTWARE, OR ANY JUNIPER OR JUNIPER-SUPPLIED SOFTWARE. IN NO EVENT SHALL JUNIPER BE LIABLE FOR DAMAGES ARISING FROM UNAUTHORIZED OR IMPROPER USE OF ANY JUNIPER OR JUNIPER-SUPPLIED SOFTWARE. EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED IN THE WARRANTY STATEMENT TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, JUNIPER DISCLAIMS ANY AND ALL WARRANTIES IN AND TO THE SOFTWARE (WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY, OR OTHERWISE), INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR NONINFRINGEMENT. IN NO EVENT DOES JUNIPER WARRANT THAT THE SOFTWARE, OR ANY EQUIPMENT OR NETWORK RUNNING THE SOFTWARE, WILL OPERATE WITHOUT ERROR OR INTERRUPTION, OR WILL BE FREE OF VULNERABILITY TO INTRUSION OR ATTACK. In no event shall Junipers or its suppliers or licensors liability to Customer, whether in contract, tort (including negligence), breach of warranty, or otherwise, exceed the price paid by Customer for the Software that gave rise to the claim, or if the Software is embedded in another Juniper product, the price paid by Customer for such other product. Customer acknowledges and agrees that Juniper has set its prices and entered into this Agreement in reliance upon the disclaimers of warranty and the limitations of liability set forth herein, that the same reflect an allocation of risk between the Parties (including the risk that a contract remedy may fail of its essential purpose and cause consequential loss), and that the same form an essential basis of the bargain between the Parties. 9. Termination. Any breach of this Agreement or failure by Customer to pay any applicable fees due shall result in automatic termination of the license granted herein. Upon such termination, Customer shall destroy or return to Juniper all copies of the Software and related documentation in Customers possession or control. 10. Taxes. All license fees for the Software are exclusive of taxes, withholdings, duties, or levies (collectively Taxes). Customer shall be responsible for paying Taxes arising from the purchase of the license, or importation or use of the Software. 11. Export. Customer agrees to comply with all applicable export laws and restrictions and regulations of any United States and any applicable foreign agency or authority, and not to export or re-export the Software or any direct product thereof in violation of any such restrictions, laws or regulations, or without all necessary approvals. Customer shall be liable for any such violations. The version of the Software supplied to Customer may contain encryption or other capabilities restricting Customers ability to export the Software without an export license. 12. Commercial Computer Software. The Software is commercial computer software and is provided with restricted rights. Use, duplication, or disclosure by the United States government is subject to restrictions set forth in this Agreement and as provided in DFARS 227.7201 through 227.7202-4, FAR 12.212, FAR 27.405(b)(2), FAR 52.227-19, or FAR 52.227-14(ALT III) as applicable. 13. Interface Information. To the extent required by applicable law, and at Customer's written request, Juniper shall provide Customer with the interface information needed to achieve interoperability between the Software and another independently created program, on payment of applicable fee, if any. Customer shall observe strict obligations of confidentiality with respect to such information and shall use such information in compliance with any applicable terms and conditions upon which Juniper makes such information available. 14. Third Party Software. Any licensor of Juniper whose software is embedded in the Software and any supplier of Juniper whose products or technology are embedded in (or services are accessed by) the Software shall be a third party beneficiary with respect to this Agreement, and such licensor or vendor shall have the right to enforce this Agreement in its own name as if it were Juniper. In addition, certain third party software may be provided with the Software and is subject to the accompanying license(s), if any, of its respective owner(s).

Getting started
The IVE is a hardened network appliance that provides robust security by intermediating the data streams that flow between external users and internal resources. This section contains the following information about beginning to use and understand the IVE: Initial Verification and Key Concepts on page 3 Introduction to the IVE on page 23

Juniper Networks Secure Access Administration Guide

Chapter 1

Initial Verification and Key Concepts

This section describes the tasks designed to follow initially installing and configuring your IVE. The contents in this section assume that you have already followed the Task Guide in the admin console to update your software image and generate and apply your Secure Access license key.

Verifying user accessibility

You can easily create a user account in the system authentication server for use in verifying user accessibility to your IVE. After creating the account through the admin console, sign in as the user on IVE user sign-in page. To verify user accessibility: 1. In the admin console, choose Authentication > Auth. Servers. 2. Select System Local. 3. Select the Users tab. 4. Click New. 5. On the New Local User page, enter testuser1 as the username and a password, and then click Save Changes. The IVE creates the testuser1 account. 6. In another browser window, enter the machines URL to access the user sign-in page. The URL is in the format: https://a.b.c.d, where a.b.c.d is the machine IP address you entered in the serial console when you initially configured your IVE. When prompted with the security alert to proceed without a signed certificate, click Yes. If the user sign-in page appears, you have successfully connected to your IVE appliance.

Verifying user accessibility

Figure 1: User Sign-in Page

7. On the sign-in page, enter the username and password you created for the user account and then click Sign In to access the IVE home page for users.
Figure 2: User Home Page (default)

8. In the browser Address field, enter the URL to an internal Web server and click Browse. The IVE opens the Web page in the same browser window, so to return to the IVE home page, click the center icon in the browsing toolbar that appears on the target Web page.

Figure 3: Example Internal Web Page with Browsing Toolbar

9. On the IVE home page, enter the URL to your external corporate site and click Browse. The IVE opens the Web page in the same browser window, so use the browsing toolbar to return to the IVE home page. 10. On the IVE home page, click Browsing > Windows Files to browse available Windows file shares or Browsing > UNIX/NFS Files to browse available UNIX/NFS file shares. After verifying user accessibility, return to the admin console to go through an introduction of key concepts, as described in Creating a test scenario to learn IVE concepts and best practices on page 5.

Creating a test scenario to learn IVE concepts and best practices

The IVE provides a flexible access management system that makes it easy to customize a users remote access experience through the use of roles, resource policies, authentication servers, authentication realms, and sign-in policies. To enable you to quickly begin working with these entities, the IVE ships with system defaults for each. This section describes these system defaults and shows you how to create each access management entity by performing the following tasks: Defining a user role on page 6 Defining a resource profile on page 8 Defining an authentication server on page 10 Defining an authentication realm on page 13 Defining a sign-in policy on page 16

Creating a test scenario to learn IVE concepts and best practices

Juniper Networks Secure Access Administration Guide

Using the test scenario on page 19

NOTE: The IVE supports two types of users:

AdministratorsAn administrator is a person who may view or modify IVE configuration settings. You create the first administrator account through the serial console. UsersA user is a person who uses the IVE to gain access to corporate resources as configured by an administrator. You create the first user account (testuser1) in Verifying user accessibility on page 3. The following test scenario focuses on using the IVE access management elements to configure access parameters for a user. For information about the system default settings for administrators, see Configuring default settings for administrators on page 22.

Defining a user role

The IVE is pre-configured with one user role called Users. This pre-defined role enables the Web and file browsing access features, enabling any user mapped to the Users role to access the Internet, corporate Web servers, and any available Windows and UNIX/NFS file servers. You can view this role on the Users > User Roles page.
NOTE: After you enable an access feature for a role (on the Users > User Roles > Role Name page), configure the appropriate corresponding options that are accessible from the access features configuration tab.

To define a user role: 1. In the admin console, choose Users > User Roles. 2. On the Roles page, click New Role. 3. On the New Role page, enter Test Role in the Name field and then click Save Changes. Wait for the IVE to display the General > Overview page for Test Role. 4. On the Overview page, select the Web checkbox under Access features and then click Save Changes. 5. Choose Web > Options. 6. Select the User can type URLs in the IVE browser bar checkbox, and then click Save Changes.

Defining a resource profile

A resource profile is a set of configuration options that contains all of the resource policies, role assignments, and end-user bookmarks required to provide access to an individual resource. Within a resource profile, a resource policy specifies the resources to which the policy applies (such as URLs, servers, and files) and whether the IVE grants access to a resource or performs an action. Note that the IVE is pre-configured with two types of resource policies: Web AccessThe pre-defined Web Access resource policy enables all users to access the Internet and all corporate Web servers through the IVE. By default, this resource policy applies to the Users role. Windows AccessThe pre-defined Windows Access resource policy enables all users mapped to the Users role to access all corporate Windows file servers. By default, this resource policy applies to the Users role.

Chapter 1: Initial Verification and Key Concepts

NOTE: Delete the default Web Access and Windows Access resource policies if you

are concerned about users having access to all of your Web and file content. You can access the default Web and file resource policies on the Users > Resource Policies > Web > Access and Users > Resource Policies > Files > Access > Windows pages. To define a resource profile: 1. In the admin console, choose Users > Resource Profiles > Web > Web Applications/Pages. 2. On the Web Applications Resource Profile page, click New Profile. 3. On the New Web Applications Resource Profile page: a. In the Type field, keep the default option (Custom)

b. In the Name field, enter Test Web Access c. In the Base URL field, enter http://www.google.com

d. In the Autopolicy: Web Access Control section, select the checkbox next to the default policy created by the IVE (http://www.google.com:80/*) and choose Delete. e. In the Autopolicy: Web Access Control section, enter http://www.google.com in the Resource field, select Deny from the Action list, and click Add. Click Save and Continue.

4. In the Roles tab: a. Select Test Role in the Available Roles field and click Add to move it to the Selected Roles field.

b. Click Save Changes. The IVE adds Test Web Access to the Web Application Resource Policies page and automatically creates a corresponding bookmark that links to google.com. After completing these steps, you have configured a Web Access resource profile. Note that even though the IVE comes with a resource policy that enables access to all Web resources, users mapped to Test Role are still prohibited from accessing http://www.google.com. These users are denied access because the autopolicy you created during the resource profile configuration takes precedence over the default Web access policy that comes with the IVE.

Defining an authentication server

An authentication server is a database that stores user credentialsusername and passwordand typically group and attribute information. When a user signs in to an IVE, the user specifies an authentication realm, which is associated with an authentication server. The IVE forwards the users credentials to this authentication server to verify the users identity. The IVE supports the most common authentication servers, including Windows NT Domain, Active Directory, RADIUS, LDAP, NIS, RSA ACE/Server, SAML Server, and eTrust SiteMinder, and enables you to create one or more local databases of users who are authenticated by the IVE. The IVE is pre-configured with one local authentication server for users called System Local. This pre-defined local authentication server is an IVE database that enables you to quickly create user accounts for user authentication. This ability provides flexibility for testing purposes and for providing third-party access by eliminating the need to create user accounts in an external authentication server.

10

Creating a test scenario to learn IVE concepts and best practices

Chapter 1: Initial Verification and Key Concepts

You can view the default local authentication server on the Authentication > Auth. Servers page.
NOTE: The IVE also supports authorization servers. An authorization server (or directory server) is a database that stores user attribute and group information. You can configure an authentication realm to use a directory server to retrieve user attribute or group information for use in role mapping rules and resource policies.

To define an authentication server: 1. In the admin console, choose Authentication > Auth. Servers. 2. On the Authentication Servers page, choose Local Authentication from the New list and then click New Server. 3. On the New Local Authentication page, enter Test Server in the Name field and then click Save Changes. Wait for the IVE to notify you that the changes are saved, after which additional configuration tabs appear. 4. Click the Users tab and then click New. 5. On the New Local User page, enter testuser2 in the Username field, enter a password, and then click Save Changes to create the users account in the Test Server authentication server. After completing these steps, you have created an authentication server that contains one user account. This user can sign in to an authentication realm that uses the Test Server authentication server.
NOTE: The admin console provides last access statistics for each user account on the respective authentication servers pages, on the Users tab under a set of columns titled Last Sign-in Statistic. The statistics reported include the last successful sign-in date and time for each user, the users IP address, and the agent or browser type and version.

Defining an authentication realm

An authentication realm is a grouping of authentication resources, including: An authentication server, which verifies a users identity. The IVE forwards credentials submitted on a sign-in page to an authentication server. An authentication policy, which specifies realm security requirements that need to be met before the IVE submits credentials to an authentication server for verification. A directory server, which is an LDAP server that provides user and group attribute information to the IVE for use in role mapping rules and resource policies (optional). Role mapping rules, which are conditions a user must meet in order for the IVE to map a user to one or more roles. These conditions are based on information returned by the realm's directory server, the persons username, or certificate attributes.

Creating a test scenario to learn IVE concepts and best practices

13

Juniper Networks Secure Access Administration Guide

The IVE is pre-configured with one user realm called Users. This pre-defined realm uses the System Local authentication server, an authentication policy that requires a minimum password length of four characters, no directory server, and contains one role mapping rule that maps all users who sign in to the Users realm to the Users role. The testuser1 account you create in Verifying user accessibility on page 3 is part of the Users realm, because this account is created in the System Local authentication server. The testuser2 account you create in Defining an authentication server on page 10 is not part of the Users realm, because you create the user account in the new Test Server authentication server, which is not used by the Users realm. You can view the default user authentication realm on the Users > User Realms page. To define an authentication realm: 1. In the admin console, choose User Realms. 2. On the User Authentication Realms page, click New. 3. On the New Authentication Realm page: a. In the Name field, enter: Test Realm

b. Under Servers, choose Test Server from the Authentication list. c. Click Save Changes. Wait for the IVE to notify you that the changes are saved and to display the realms configuration tabs.

4. On the Role Mapping tab, click New Rule. 5. On the Role Mapping Rule page: a. Under Rule: If username..., enter testuser2 in the value field.

b. Under ...then assign these roles, select Test Role in the Available Roles field and click Add to move it to the Selected Roles field. c. Click Save Changes.

After completing these steps, you have finished creating an authentication realm. This realm uses Test Server to authenticate users and a role mapping rule to map testuser2 to Test Role. Because the Test Web Access resource policy applies to Test Role, any user mapped to this role cannot access http://www.google.com.

Defining a sign-in policy

A sign-in policy is a system rule that specifies: A URL at which a user may sign in to the IVE A sign-in page to display to the user Whether or not the user needs to type or select an authentication realm to which the IVE submits credentials The authentication realms to which the sign-in policy applies All Secure Access and Secure Access FIPS IVEs are pre-configured with one sign-in policy that applies to users: */. This default user sign-in policy (*/) specifies that when a user enters the URL to the IVE, the IVE displays the default sign-in page for users and requires the user to select an authentication realm (if more than one realm exists). The */ sign-in policy is configured to apply to the Users authentication realm, therefore this sign-in policy does not apply to the authentication realm you create in Defining an authentication realm on page 13.

You can view the default user sign-in policy on the Authentication > Authentication > Signing In Policies page. If your IVE has the Secure Meeting Upgrade license, the */meeting sign-in policy is also listed on this page. This policy enables you to customize the sign-in page for secure meetings. The default sign-in policy applies to all users. You can modify the URL to the IVE user sign-in page by adding to the path, such as */employees, but you cannot create additional sign-in policies unless you purchase the Advanced license for your IVE.

To learn more about IVE access management, we recommend that you take a few minutes to review the online Help to familiarize yourself with its contents.
NOTE:

When you configure the IVE for your enterprise, we recommend that you perform user access configuration in the order presented in this section. For detailed configuration information, see the instructions in other sections of this guide. Before you make your IVE available from external locations, we recommend that you import a signed digital certificate from a trusted certificate authority (CA).

Configuring default settings for administrators

Just like for users, the IVE provides default settings that enable you to quickly configure accounts for administrators. This list summarizes the system default settings for administrators: Administrator roles .Administrators This built-in role permits administrators to manage all aspects of the IVE. The administrator user you create in the serial console is mapped to this role. .Read-Only Administrators This built-in role permits users mapped to the role to view (but not configure) all IVE settings. You need to map administrators to this role if you want to restrict their access.
NOTE: You need the Advanced license in order to create additional administrator roles.

Administrators local authentication server The Administrators authentication server is an IVE database that stores administrator accounts. You create the first administrator account in this server through the serial console. (The IVE adds all administrator accounts created through the serial console to this server.) You cannot delete this local server. Admin Users authentication realm The Admin Users authentication realm uses the default Administrators authentication server, an authentication policy that requires a minimum password length of four characters, no directory server, and contains one role mapping rule that maps all users who sign in to the Admin Users realm to the .Administrators role. The administrator account you create in the serial console is part of the Admin Users realm. */admin sign-in policy The default administrator sign-in policy (*/admin) specifies that when a user enters the URL to the IVE followed by /admin, the IVE displays the default sign-in page for administrators. This policy also requires the administrator to select an authentication realm (if more than one realm exists). The */admin sign-in policy is configured to apply to the Admin Users authentication realm, therefore this sign-in policy applies to the administrator account you create through the serial console.

Introduction to the IVE

The Juniper Networks Instant Virtual Extranet (IVE) platform serves as the underlying hardware and software for the Juniper Networks SSL VPN appliances. These products enable you to give employees, partners, and customers secure and controlled access to your corporate data and applications including file servers, Web servers, native messaging and email clients, hosted servers, and more from outside your trusted network using just a Web browser. This section contains the following information about the IVE: What is the IVE? on page 23 What can I do with the IVE? on page 25 How do I start configuring the IVE? on page 31

What is the IVE?

The IVE is a hardened network operating system that acts as the platform for all Juniper Networks Secure Access products. These appliances provide a range of enterprise-class scalability, high availability, and security features that extend secure, remote access to network resources. The IVE provides robust security by intermediating the data that flows between external users and your companys internal resources. Users gain authenticated access to authorized resources via an extranet session hosted by the appliance. During intermediation, the IVE receives secure requests from the external, authenticated users and then makes requests to the internal resources on behalf of those users. By intermediating content in this way, the IVE eliminates the need to deploy extranet toolkits in a traditional DMZ or provision a remote access VPN for employees. To access the intuitive IVE home page, your employees, partners, and customers need only a Web browser that supports SSL and an Internet connection. This page provides the window from which your users can securely browse Web or file servers, use HTML-enabled enterprise applications, start the client/server application proxy, begin a Windows, Citrix, or Telnet/SSH terminal session, access corporate email servers, start a secured layer three tunnel, or schedule or attend a secure online meeting.1
1. These capabilities depend upon the Juniper Networks Secure Access product and upgrade options you have purchased.

Juniper Networks Secure Access Administration Guide

Figure 17: The IVE working within a LAN

You can configure a Juniper Networks Secure Access appliance to: Provide users with secure access to a variety of resources. The IVE intermediates access to multiple types of applications and resources such as Web-based enterprise applications, Java applications, file shares, terminal hosts, and other client/server applications such as Microsoft Outlook, Lotus Notes, the Citrix ICA Client, and pcAnywhere. Additionally, administrators can provision an access method that allows full Layer 3 connectivity, providing the same level of access that a user would get if they were on the corporate LAN. Fine-tune user access to the appliance, resource types, or individual resources based on factors such as group membership, source IP address, certificate attributes, and endpoint security status. For instance, you can use dual-factor authentication and client-side digital certificates to authenticate users to the IVE and use LDAP group membership to authorize users ability to access individual applications. Assess the security status of your users computers by checking for endpoint defense tools such as current antivirus software, firewalls, and security patches. You can then allow or deny users access to the appliance, resource types, or individual resources based on the computers security status.

The IVE acts as a secure, application-layer gateway intermediating all requests between the public Internet and internal corporate resources. All requests that enter the IVE are already encrypted by the end user's browser, using SSL/HTTPS 128-bit or 168-bit encryptionunencrypted requests are dropped. Since the IVE provides a robust security layer between the public Internet and internal resources, administrators do not need to constantly manage security policies and patch security vulnerabilities for numerous different application and Web servers deployed in the public-facing DMZ.

Chapter 2: Introduction to the IVE

What can I do with the IVE?

The IVE offers a wide variety of features that you can use to secure your companys resources and easily maintain your environment. The following sections answer questions you may have about the IVEs security and management capabilities: Can I use the IVE to secure traffic to all of my companys applications, servers, and Web pages? on page 25 Can I use my existing servers to authenticate IVE users? on page 27 Can I fine-tune access to the IVE and the resources it intermediates? on page 27 Can I create a seamless integration between the IVE and the resources it intermediates? on page 28 Can I use the IVE to protect against infected computers and other security concerns? on page 29 Can I ensure redundancy in my IVE environment? on page 29 Can I make the IVE interface match my companys look-and-feel? on page 29 Can I enable users on a variety of computers and devices to use the IVE? on page 30 Can I provide secure access for my international users? on page 30

Can I use the IVE to secure traffic to all of my companys applications, servers, and Web pages?
The IVE enables you to secure access to a wide variety of applications, servers, and other resources through its remote access mechanisms. Once you have chosen which resource you want to secure, you can then choose the appropriate access mechanism. For instance, if you want to secure access to Microsoft Outlook, you can use the Secure Application Manager (SAM). The Secure Application Manager intermediates traffic to client/server applications including Microsoft Outlook, Lotus Notes, and Citrix. Or, if you want to secure access to your company Intranet, you can use the Web rewriting feature. This feature uses the IVEs Content Intermediation Engine to intermediate traffic to Web-based applications and Web pages.

What can I do with the IVE?

25

Juniper Networks Secure Access Administration Guide

The IVE includes remote access mechanisms that intermediate the following types of traffic: Web-based traffic, including Web pages and Web-based applications: Use the Web rewriting feature to intermediate this type of content. The Web rewriting feature includes templates that enable you to easily configure access to applications such as Citrix, OWA, Lotus iNotes, and Sharepoint. In addition, you can use the Web rewriting custom configuration option to intermediate traffic from a wide variety of additional Web-based applications and Web pages, including custom-built Web applications. Java applets, including Web applications that use Java applets: Use the hosted Java applets feature to intermediate this type of content. This feature enables you to host Java applets and the HTML pages that they reference directly on the IVE rather than maintaining a separate Java server. File traffic, including file servers and directories: Use the file rewriting feature to intermediate and dynamically webify access to file shares. The file rewriting feature enables you to secure traffic to a variety of Windows and Unix based servers, directories, and file shares. Client/server applications: Use the Secure Application Manager feature to intermediate this type of content. The Secure Application Manager comes in two varieties (Windows and Java versions, or WSAM and JSAM). The WSAM and JSAM features include templates that enable you to easily configure access to applications such as Lotus Notes, Microsoft Outlook, NetBIOS file browsing, and Citrix. In addition, you can use the WSAM and JSAM custom configuration options to intermediate traffic from a wide variety of additional client/server applications and destination networks. Telnet and SSH terminal emulation sessions: Use the Telnet/SSH feature to intermediate this type of content. This feature enables you to easily configure access to a variety of networked devices that utilize terminal sessions including UNIX servers, networking devices, and other legacy applications. Windows Terminal Servers and Citrix server terminal emulation sessions: Use the Terminal Services feature to intermediate this type of content. This feature enables you to easily configure access to Windows Terminal Servers, Citrix MetaFrame Servers, and Citrix Presentation Servers (formerly known as Nfuse servers). You can also use this feature to deliver the terminal services clients directly from the IVE, eliminating the need to use another Web server to host the clients. Email clients based on the IMAP4, POP3, and SMTP protocols: Use the email client feature to intermediate this type of content. This feature enables you to easily configure access to any corporate mail server based on the IMAP4, POP3, and SMTP protocols, such as Microsoft Exchange Server and Lotus Notes Mail servers. All network traffic: Use the Network Connect feature to create a secure, layer 3 tunnel over the SSL connection, allowing access to any type of application available on the corporate network. This feature enables you to easily connect remote users into your network by tunneling network traffic over port 443, enabling users full access to all of your network resources without configuring access to individual servers, applications, and resources.

Chapter 2: Introduction to the IVE

For more information about securing traffic using the IVE remote access mechanisms, see Remote access on page 279.

Can I use my existing servers to authenticate IVE users?

You can easily configure the IVE to use your companys existing servers to authenticate your end-usersUsers do not need to learn a new username and password to access the IVE. The IVE supports integration with LDAP, RADIUS, NIS, Windows NT Domain, Active Directory, eTrust SiteMinder, SAML, and RSA ACE/Servers. Or, if you do not want to use one of these standard servers, you can store usernames and credentials directly on the IVE and use the IVE itself as an authentication server. In addition, you can choose to authenticate users based on attributes contained in authentication assertions generated by SAML authorities or client-side certificates. Or, if you do not want to require your users to sign into the IVE, you can use the IVE anonymous authentication server, which allows users to access the IVE without providing a username or password. For more information about protecting access to the IVE using authentication servers, see Authentication and directory servers on page 91.

Can I fine-tune access to the IVE and the resources it intermediates?

In addition to using authentication servers to control access to the IVE, you can control access to the IVE and the resources it intermediates using a variety of additional client-side checks. The IVE enables you to create a multi-layered approach to protect the IVE and your resources: 1. First, you can perform pre-authentication checks that control user access to the IVE sign-in page. For instance, you might configure the IVE to check whether or not the users computer is running a particular version of Norton Antivirus. If it is not running, you can determine that the users computer is unsecure and disable access to the IVE sign-in page until the user has updated the computers antivirus software. 2. Once a user has successfully accessed the IVE sign-in page, you can perform realm-level checks to determine whether he can access the IVE end-user home page. The most common realm-level check is performed by an authentication server. (The server determines whether the user enters a valid username and password.) You can perform other types of realm-level checks, however, such as checking that the users IP address is in your network or that the user is using the Web browser type that you specify. If a user passes the realm-level checks that you specify, he can access the IVE end-user home page. Otherwise, the IVE does not enable him to sign in, or the IVE displays a stripped down version of the IVE home page that you create. Generally, this stripped down version contains significantly less functionality than is available to your standard users because the user has not passed all of your authentication criteria. The IVE provides extremely flexible policy definitions, enabling you to dynamically alter end-user resource access based on corporate security policies.

What can I do with the IVE?

27

Juniper Networks Secure Access Administration Guide

3. After the IVE successfully assigns a user to a realm, the appliance maps him to a role based on your selection criteria. A role specifies which access mechanisms a selected group of users can access. It also controls session and UI options for that group of users. You can use a wide variety of criteria to map users to roles. For instance, you can map users to different roles based on endpoint security checks or on attributes obtained from an LDAP server or client-side certificate. 4. In most cases, a users role assignments control which individual resources he can access. For instance, you might configure access to your companys Intranet page using a Web resource profile and then specify that all members of the Employees role can access that resource. However, you can choose to further fine-tune access to individual resources. For instance, you may enable members of the Employees role to access your companys Intranet (as described above), but add a resource policy detailed rule that requires users to meet additional criteria in order to access the resource. For example, you may require users to be members of the Employees role and to sign into the IVE during business hours in order to access your company Intranet. For more information about fine-tuning access to the IVE and the resources it intermediates, see Access management framework on page 33.

Can I create a seamless integration between the IVE and the resources it intermediates?
In a typical IVE configuration, you could add bookmarks directly to the IVE enduser home page. These bookmarks are links to the resources that you configure the IVE to intermediate. Adding these bookmarks enables users to sign into a single place (the IVE) and find a consolidated list of all of the resources available to them. Within this typical configuration, you can streamline the integration between the IVE and the intermediated resources by enabling single sign-on (SSO). SSO is a process that allows pre-authenticated IVE users to access other applications or resources that are protected by another access management system without having to re-enter their credentials. During IVE configuration, you can enable SSO by specifying user credentials that you want the IVE to pass to the intermediated resources. For more information, see Single sign-on on page 191. Or, if you do not want to centralize user resources on the IVE end-user home page, you could create links to the IVE-intermediated resources from another Web page. For instance, you can configure bookmarks on the IVE, and then add links to those bookmarks from your companys Intranet. Your users can then sign into your company Intranet and click the links there to access the intermediated resources without going through the IVE home page. As with standard IVE bookmarks, you can enable SSO for these external links.

What can I do with the IVE?

Chapter 2: Introduction to the IVE

Can I use the IVE to protect against infected computers and other security concerns?
The IVE enables you to protect against viruses, attacks, and other security concerns using the Host Checker feature. Host Checker performs security checks on the clients that connect to the IVE. For instance, you can use Host Checker verify that end-user systems contain up-to-date antivirus software, firewalls, critical software hotfixes, and other applications that protect your users computers. You can then enable or deny users access to the IVE sign-in pages, realms, roles, and resources based on the results that Host Checker returns. Or, you can display remediation instructions to users so they can bring their computers into compliance. You can also use Host Checker to create a protected workspace on clients running Windows 2000 or Windows XP. Through Host Checker, you can enable the Secure Virtual Workspace (SVW) feature which creates a protected workspace on the client desktop, ensuring that any end-user signing in to your intranet must perform all interactions within a completely protected environment. Secure Virtual Workspace encrypts information that applications write to disk or the registry and then destroys all information pertaining to itself or the IVE session when the session is complete. You can also secure your network from hostile outside intrusion by integrating your IVE with a Juniper Networks Intrusion Detection and Prevention (IDP) Sensor. You can use IDP devices to detect and block most network worms based on software vulnerabilities, non-file-based Trojan Horses, the effects of Spyware, Adware, and Key Loggers, many types of malware, and zero day attacks through the use of anomaly detection. For more information about Host Checker and other native IVE endpoint defense mechanisms, see Endpoint defense on page 221. For more information about integrating the IVE with IDP, see IVE and IDP Interoperability on page 801.

Can I ensure redundancy in my IVE environment?

You can ensure redundancy in your IVE environment using the IVE clustering feature. With this feature, you can deploy two or more appliances as a cluster, ensuring no user downtime in the rare event of failure and stateful peering that synchronizes user settings, system settings, and user session data. These appliances support Active/Passive or Active/Active configurations across a LAN or a WAN. In Active/Passive mode, one IVE actively serves user requests while the other IVE runs passively in the background to synchronize state data. If the active IVE goes off-line, the standby IVE automatically starts servicing user requests. In Active/Active mode, all the machines in the cluster actively handle user requests sent by an external load balancer or Round-Robin DNS. The load balancer hosts the cluster VIP and routes user requests to an IVE defined in its cluster group based on source-IP routing. If an IVE goes off-line, the load balancer adjusts the load on the active IVEs.

Can I make the IVE interface match my companys look-and-feel?

The IVE enables you to customize a variety of elements in the end-user interface. Using these customization features, you can update the look-and-feel of the IVE end-user console so it will look like one of your standard company Web pages or applications.

Juniper Networks Secure Access Administration Guide

For instance, you can easily customize the headers, background colors, and logos that the IVE displays in the IVE sign-in page and end-user console to match your companys style. You can also easily customize the order in which the IVE displays bookmarks and the help system that the IVE displays to users. Or, if you do not want to display the IVE end-user home page to users (either in standard or customized form), you can choose to redirect users to a different page (such as your company Intranet) when users first sign into the IVE console. If you choose to use this option, you may want to add links to your IVE bookmarks on the new page, as explained in Can I create a seamless integration between the IVE and the resources it intermediates? on page 28. If you want to further customize the IVE sign-in page, you can use the IVEs custom sign-in pages feature. Unlike the standard customization options that you can configure through the IVE administration console, the custom sign-in pages feature does not limit the number of customizations you can make to your pages. Using this feature, you can use an HTML editor to develop a sign-in page that exactly matches your specifications. For more information about customizing the look-and-feel of the IVE, see Customizable admin and end-user UIs on page 819.

Can I enable users on a variety of computers and devices to use the IVE?
In addition to allowing users to access the IVE from standard workstations and kiosks running Windows, Macintosh, and Linux operating systems, the IVE also allows end-users to access the IVE from connected PDAs, handhelds and smart phones such as i-mode and Pocket PC. When a user connects from a PDA or handheld device, the IVE determines which IVE pages and functionality to display based on settings that you configure. For more information about specifying which pages the IVE displays to different devices, see the IVE Supported Platforms Document available on the IVE OS Software page of the Juniper Networks Customer Support Center. For more information about the exact operating systems, PDAs, and handheld devices that the IVE supports, see Handheld devices and PDAs on page 847.

Can I provide secure access for my international users?

The IVE supports English (US), French, German, Spanish, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Japanese, and Korean. When your users sign into the IVE, the IVE automatically detects the correct language to display based on the users Web browser setting. Or, you can use end-user localization and custom sign-in pages options to manually specify the language that you want to display to your endusers. For more information about localization, see Multi-language support on page 843.

Chapter 2: Introduction to the IVE

How do I start configuring the IVE?

To enable users to start using your Secure Access appliance, you must complete the following basic steps: 1. Plug in the appliance, connect it to your network, and configure its initial system and network settings. This quick and easy process is detailed in the Secure Access Quick Start Guide. 2. After you connect the IVE to your network, you need to set the system date and time, upgrade to the latest service package, and install your product licenses. When you first sign into the administration console, the IVE displays an initial configuration task guide that quickly walks you through this process. 3. After you install your product licenses, you need to set up your access management framework to enable your users to authenticate and access resources. Configuration steps include: a. Define an authentication server that verifies the names and passwords of your users.

b. Create user roles that enable access mechanisms, session options, and UI options for user groups. c. Create a user authentication realm that specifies the conditions that users must meet in order to sign into the IVE.

d. Define a sign-in policy that specifies the URL that users must access in order to sign into the IVE and the page that they see when they sign in. e. Create resource profiles that control access to resources, specify which user roles can access them, and include bookmarks that link to the resources.

The IVE includes a task guide in its administration console that quickly walks you through this process. To access this task guide, click the Guidance link. Then, under Recommended Task Guides, select Base Configuration. Or, you can use the tutorial included in this guide. For more information, see Initial Verification and Key Concepts on page 3. Once you have completed these basic steps, your Secure Access appliance is ready for use. You can start using it as is, or configure additional advanced features such as endpoint defense and clustering.

Part 2

Access management framework

The IVE protects resources by using the following access management mechanisms: Authentication realmResource accessibility begins with the authentication realm. An authentication realm specify conditions that users must meet in order to sign into the IVE. An authentication realm specification includes several components, including an authentication server which verifies that the user is who he claims to be. The user must meet the security requirements you define for a realm's authentication policy or else the IVE does not forward the user's credentials to the authentication server. User rolesA role's configuration serves as the second level of resource access control. A role is a defined entity that specifies IVE session properties for users who are mapped to the role. Not only does a role specify the access mechanisms available to a user, but you can also specify restrictions with which users must comply before they are mapped to a role. Resource policiesA resource policy serves as the third level of resource access control. A resource policy is a set of resource names (such as URLs, host names, and IP address/netmask combinations) to which you grant or deny access or other resource-specific actions, such as rewriting and caching. While a role may grant access to certain types of access features and resources (such as bookmarks and applications), whether or not a user can access a specific resource is controlled by resource policies. Note that you can create separate resource policies or you can create automatic resource policies (called autopolicies) during resource profile configuration (recommended). This section contains the following information about the IVE access management framework: General access management on page 35 User roles on page 51 Resource profiles on page 71 Resource policies on page 81 Authentication and directory servers on page 91 Authentication realms on page 165

General access management

The IVE enables you to secure your company resources using authentication realms, user roles, and resource policies. These three levels of accessibility allow you to control access from a very broad level (controlling who may sign into the IVE) down to a very granular level (controlling which authenticated users may access a particular URL or file). You can specify security requirements that users must meet to sign in to the IVE, to gain access to IVE features, and even to access specific URLs, files, and other server resources. The IVE enforces the policies, rules and restrictions, and conditions that you configure to prevent users from connecting to or downloading unauthorized resources and content. This section contains the following information about the access management framework: Licensing: Access management availability on page 35 Policies, rules & restrictions, and conditions overview on page 35 Policies, rules & restrictions, and conditions evaluation on page 38 Dynamic policy evaluation on page 40 Configuring security requirements on page 42

Licensing: Access management availability

The IVE access management framework is available on all Secure Access products. The access management features, including realms, roles, resource policies, and servers, are the base of the IVE platform on which all Secure Access products are built.

Accessing authentication realms

Resource accessibility begins with the authentication realm. An authentication realm is a grouping of authentication resources, including: An authentication server, which verifies that the user is who he claims to be. The IVE forwards credentials that a user submits on a sign-in page to an authentication server. For more information, see Authentication and directory servers on page 91. An authentication policy, which specifies realm security requirements that need to be met before the IVE submits a user's credentials to an authentication server for verification. For more information, see Defining authentication policies on page 168. A directory server, which is an LDAP server that provides user and group information to the IVE that the IVE uses to map users to one or more user roles. For more information, see Authentication and directory servers on page 91. Role mapping rules, which are conditions a user must meet in order for the IVE to map the user to one or more user roles. These conditions are based on either user information returned by the realm's directory server or the user's username. For more information, see Creating role mapping rules on page 169. You can associate one or more authentication realms with an IVE sign-in page. When more than one realm exists for a sign-in page, a user must specify a realm before submitting her credentials. When the user submits her credentials, the IVE checks the authentication policy defined for the chosen realm. The user must meet the security requirements you define for a realm's authentication policy or else the IVE does not forward the user's credentials to the authentication server. At the realm level, you can specify security requirements based on various elements such as the user's source IP address or the possession of a client-side certificate. If the user meets the requirements specified by the realm's authentication policy, then the IVE forwards the user's credentials to the appropriate authentication server. If this server successfully authenticates the user, then the IVE evaluates the role mapping rules defined for the realm to determine which roles to assign to the user. For more information, see Authentication realms on page 165.

Chapter 3: General access management

Accessing user roles

A role is a defined entity that specifies IVE session properties for users who are mapped to the role. These session properties include information such as session time-outs and enabled access features. A role's configuration serves as the second level of resource access control. Not only does a role specify the access mechanisms available to a user, but you can also specify restrictions with which users must comply before they are mapped to a role. The user must meet these security requirements or else the IVE does not map the user to a role. At the role level, you can specify security requirements based on elements such as the user's source IP address and possession of a client-side certificate. If the user meets the requirements specified either by a role mapping rule or a role's restrictions, then the IVE maps the user to the role. When a user makes a request to the backend resources available to the role, the IVE evaluates the corresponding access feature resource policies. Note that you may specify security requirements for a role in two placesin the role mapping rules of an authentication realm (using custom expressions) or by defining restrictions in the role definition. The IVE evaluates the requirements specified in both areas to make sure the user complies before it maps the user to a role. For more information, see User roles on page 51.

Accessing resource policies

A resource policy is a set of resource names (such as URLs, host names, and IP address/netmask combinations) to which you grant or deny access or other resource-specific actions, such as rewriting and caching. A resource policy serves as the third level of resource access control. While a role may grant access to certain types of access features and resources (such as bookmarks and applications), whether or not a user can access a specific resource is controlled by resource policies. These policies may even specify conditions that, if met, either deny or grant user access to a server share or file. These conditions may be based on security requirements that you specify. The user must meet these security requirements or else the IVE does not process the user's request. At the resource level, you can specify security requirements based elements such as the user's source IP address or possession of a client-side certificate. If the user meets the requirements specified by a resource policy's conditions, then the IVE either denies or grants access to the requested resource. You may enable Web access at the role level, for example, and a user mapped to the role may make a Web request. You may also configure a Web resource policy to deny requests to a particular URL or path when Host Checker finds an unacceptable file on the user's machine. In this scenario, the IVE checks to see if Host Checker is running and indicates that the user's machine complies with the required Host Checker policy. If the user's machine complies, meaning the unacceptable file is not found, then the IVE grants the user access to the requested Web resource. Note that you can create separate resource policies or you can create automatic resource policies (called autopolicies) during resource profile configuration (recommended). For more information, see: Resource policies on page 81

Policies, rules & restrictions, and conditions evaluation

The following diagram illustrates the access management security checks that the IVE performs when a user tries to access resources through the IVE. A detailed description of each step follows after the diagram.
Figure 18: Security checks performed by the IVE during a user session

1. The user enters the URL of the IVE end-user console (such as http://employees.yourcompany.com/marketing) in a Web browser. 2. The IVE evaluates its sign-in policies (starting with the administrator URLs and continuing to user URLs) until it matches the hostname entered by the user.

Policies, rules & restrictions, and conditions evaluation

Chapter 3: General access management

3. The IVE evaluates pre-authentication restrictions and determines if the users system passes host checks and other requirements. If the pre-authentication checks fail, the IVE denies the user access. If the checks pass, the IVE prompts the user to enter the username and password for the realms whose preauthentication checks succeeded. (If required by the realm, the IVE prompts the user to enter two sets of credentials.) If more than one realm exists, the user must enter a realm or choose one from a list. 4. The IVE evaluates the post-authentication restrictions and determines whether the users password conforms to specified limits and requirements. If the postauthentication checks fail, the IVE denies the user access. If the checks pass, the IVE passes the users credentials to the realms authentication server. 5. The IVE forwards the users username and password to the authentication server, which returns success or failure. (A RADIUS or SiteMinder authentication server also returns attributes for the IVE to use in role mapping.) If the authentication server returns failure, the IVE denies the user access. If the server returns success, the IVE stores the users credentials. If the realm has a separate LDAP authorization server, the IVE also queries the LDAP server for attribute and group information and saves the information returned by LDAP. If the realm includes a secondary authentication server, the IVE repeats this process with the secondary server. 6. The IVE evaluates the realms role mapping rules and determines the roles for which the user is eligible. The IVE determines eligibility using information from the LDAP or RADIUS server or the users username. 7. The IVE evaluates the restrictions of the eligible roles, enabling the user to access those roles whose restrictions the users computer meets. Restrictions may include source IP, browser type, client-side certificate, Host Checker, and Cache Cleaner. 8. The IVE creates a session role, determining the users session permissions. If you enable permissive merging, the IVE determines session permissions by merging all valid roles and granting the allowed resources from each valid role. If you disable merging, the IVE assigns the user to the first role to which he is mapped. For more information, see User role evaluation on page 52. 9. When the user requests a resource, the IVE checks whether the corresponding access feature is enabled for the session user role. If not, the IVE denies the user access. If the access feature is enabled, the evaluates resource policies. 10. The IVE evaluates resource profiles and policies related to the users request, sequentially processing each until it finds the profile or policy whose resource list and designated roles match the users request. The IVE denies user access to the resource if specified by the profile or policy. Otherwise, the IVE intermediates the user request if the profile or policy enables access. For more information, see Resource policy evaluation on page 86. 11. The IVE intermediates the user request, forwarding the users request and credentials (if necessary) to the appropriate server. Then, the IVE forwards the the servers response to the user.

12. The user accesses the requested resource or application server. The user session ends when the user signs out or his session times out due to time limits or inactivity. The IVE may also force the user out if the session if you enable dynamic policy evaluation and the user fails a policy. For more information, see Dynamic policy evaluation on page 40.
NOTE: If you enable dynamic policy evaluation, the IVE performs additional checks beyond the ones mentioned here. For more information, see Dynamic policy evaluation on page 40.

Dynamic policy evaluation

Dynamic policy evaluation allows you to automatically or manually refresh the assigned roles of users by evaluating a realms authentication policy, role mappings, role restrictions, and resource policies. When the IVE performs a dynamic evaluation, it checks whether the clients status has changed. (For instance, the clients Host Checker status may have changed. Or, if the user is roaming, the computers IP address may have changed.) If the status has changed, the IVE enables or denies the user access to the dependent realms, roles, or resource policies accordingly.
NOTE: The IVE does not check for changes in user attributes from a RADIUS, LDAP, or SiteMinder server when performing dynamic policy evaluation. Instead, the IVE re-evaluates rules and policies based on the original user attributes that it obtained when the user signed into the IVE.

This section contains the following information about dynamic policy evaluation: Understanding dynamic policy evaluation on page 40 Understanding standard policy evaluation on page 41 Enabling dynamic policy evaluation on page 42

Understanding dynamic policy evaluation

During dynamic policy evaluation, the IVE evaluates the following types of resource policies: Windows Secure Application Manager Java Secure Application Manager Network Connect Telnet/SSH Terminal services (Windows and Citrix) Java Access

Chapter 3: General access management

Code signing (for java applet)

NOTE: Because the IVE evaluates Web and Files resource policies whenever the user makes a request for a resource, dynamic policy evaluation is unnecessary for Web and Files. The IVE does not use dynamic policy evaluation for Meetings resource policies and Email Client resource policies.

If the IVE determines after a dynamic policy evaluation that a user no longer meets the security requirements of a policy or role, the IVE terminates the connection immediately with the user. The user may see the closing of a TCP or application connection, or the termination of a user session for Network Connect, Secure Application Manager, Terminal or Telnet/SSH. The user must take the necessary steps to meet the security requirements of the policy or role, and then sign into the IVE again. The IVE logs information about policy evaluation and changes in roles or access in the Event log.

Understanding standard policy evaluation

If you do not use dynamic policy evaluation, the IVE evaluates policies and roles only when the following events occur: When the user first tries to access the IVE sign-in page, the IVE evaluates the Host Checker and Cache Cleaner policies (if any) for a realm. Immediately after the users initial authentication, the IVE evaluates the users realm restrictions in the authentication policy, role mapping rules, and role restrictions. Whenever the user makes a request for a resource, the IVE evaluates resource policies. Whenever the Host Checker and Cache Cleaner status of the users machine changes, the IVE evaluates the Host Checker and Cache Cleaner policies (if any) for a role. If you do not use dynamic policy evaluation and you make changes to an authentication policy, role mapping rules, role restrictions, or resource policies, the IVE enforces those changes only when the events described above occur. (For more information, see Policies, rules & restrictions, and conditions evaluation on page 38.) If you do use dynamic policy evaluation, the IVE enforces changes when the events described above occur and it also enforces changes at the times you specify. For more information, see Enabling dynamic policy evaluation on page 42.

Enabling dynamic policy evaluation

You can use dynamic policy evaluation in the following ways: Evaluate all signed-in users in a realmYou can automatically or manually refresh the roles of all currently signed-in users of a realm by using the General tab of the Administrators > Admin Realms > Select Realm or Users > User Realms > Select Realm page. You can trigger the IVE to perform a dynamic policy evaluation at the realm level based on: An automatic timerYou can specify a refresh interval that determines how often the IVE performs an automatic policy evaluation of all currently signed-in realm users, such as every 30 minutes. When using the refresh interval, you can also fine-tune IVE performance by specifying whether or not you want to refresh roles and resource policies as well as the authentication policy, role mapping rules, and role restrictions. On-demandAt any time, you can manually evaluate the authentication policy, role mapping rules, role restrictions, and resource policies of all currently signed-in realm users. This technique is especially useful if you make changes to an authentication policy, role mapping rules, role restrictions, or resource policies and you want to immediately refresh the roles of a realms users. Evaluate all signed-in users in all realmsAt any time, you can manually refresh the roles of all currently signed-in users in all realms by using settings in the System > Status >Active Users page. For information, see Monitoring active users on page 686. Evaluate individual usersYou can automatically refresh the roles of individual users by enabling dynamic policy evaluation for Host Checker on the Authentication > Endpoint Security > Host Checker page. Host Checker can trigger the IVE to evaluate resource policies whenever a users Host Checker status changes. (If you do not enable dynamic policy evaluation for Host Checker, the IVE does not evaluate resource policies but it does evaluate the authentication policy, role mapping rules, and role restrictions whenever a users Host Checker status changes.) For more information, see Specifying general Host Checker options on page 262.

Configuring security requirements

An IVE makes it easy to specify security requirements for administrators and users through the options and features described in the following sections: Specifying source IP access restrictions on page 43 Specifying browser access restrictions on page 44 Specifying certificate access restrictions on page 47 Specifying password access restrictions on page 48 Specifying Host Checker access restrictions on page 49

Specifying source IP access restrictions

Use a source IP restriction to control from which IP addresses users can access an IVE sign-in page, be mapped to a role, or access a resource. You can restrict resource access by source IP: When administrators or users try to sign in to the IVE The user must sign in from a machine whose IP address/netmask combination meets the specified source IP requirements for the selected authentication realm. If the user's machine does not have the IP address/netmask combination required by the realm, the IVE does not forward the user's credentials to the authentication server and the user is denied access to the IVE. You can allow or deny access to any specific IP address/netmask combination. For example, you can deny access to all users on a wireless network (10.64.4.100), and allow access to all other network users (0.0.0.0). When administrators or users are mapped to a roleThe authenticated user must be signed in from a machine whose IP address/netmask combination meets the specified Source IP requirements for each role to which the IVE may map the user. If the user's machine does not have the IP address/netmask combination required by a role, then the IVE does not map the user to that role. When users request a resourceThe authenticated, authorized user must make a resource request from a machine whose IP address/netmask combination meets the specified Source IP requirements for the resource policy corresponding to the user's request. If the user's machine does not have the required IP address/netmask combination required by the resource, then the IVE does not allow the user to access the resource. To specify source IP restrictions: 1.

For example, to deny access to all users on a wireless network (10.64.4.100) and allow access to all other network users (0.0.0.0), move the wireless network address (10.64.4.100) to the top of the list and move the (0.0.0.0) network below the wireless network. Enable administrators to sign in on the external port Enables administrators to sign in to the IVE from the external interface. You must enable the external port before setting this option. 3. Click Save Changes to save your settings.

Specifying browser access restrictions

Use a browser restriction to control from which Web browsers users can access an IVE sign-in page, be mapped to a role, or access a resource. If a user tries to sign in to the IVE using an unsupported browser, the sign-in attempt fails and a message displays stating that an unsupported browser is being used. This feature also enables you to ensure that users sign in to the IVE from browsers that are compatible with corporate applications or are approved by corporate security policies.

Configuring security requirements

Chapter 3: General access management

You can restrict IVE and resource access by browser-type: When administrators or users try to sign in to the IVEThe user must sign in from a browser whose user-agent string meets the specified user-agent string pattern requirements for the selected authentication realm. If the realm allows the browser's user-agent string, then the IVE submits the user's credentials to the authentication server. If the realm denies the browser's user-agent string, then the IVE does not submit the user's credentials to the authentication server. When administrators or users are mapped to a roleThe authenticated user must be signed in from a browser whose user-agent string meets the specified user-agent string pattern requirements for each role to which the IVE may map the user. If the user-agent string does not meet the allowed or denied requirements for a role, then the IVE does not map the user to that role. When users request a resourceThe authenticated, authorized user must make a resource request from a browser whose user-agent string meets the specified allowed or denied requirements for the resource policy corresponding to the user's request. If the user-agent string does not meet the allowed or denied requirements for a resource, then the IVE does not allow the user to access the resource.

NOTE: The browser restrictions feature is not intended as a strict access control since browser user-agent strings can be changed by a technical user. It serves as an advisory access control for normal usage scenarios.

NOTE:

Rules are applied in order, so the first matched rule applies. Literal characters in rules are case sensitive, and spaces are allowed as literal characters. For example, the string *Netscape* matches any user-agent string that contains the substring Netscape. The following rule set grants resource access only when users are signed in using Internet Explorer 5.5x or Internet Explorer 6.x.

Specifying certificate access restrictions

When you install a client-side certificate on the IVE through the System > Configuration > Certificates > Trusted Client CAs page of the admin console, you can restrict IVE and resource access by requiring client-side certificates: When administrators or users try to sign in to the IVEThe user must sign in from a machine that possesses the specified client-side certificate (from the proper certificate authority (CA) and possessing any optionally specified field/value pair requirements). If the user's machine does not possess the certificate information required by the realm, the user can access the sign-in page, but once the IVE determines that the user's browser does not possess the certificate, the IVE does not submit the user's credentials to the authentication server and the user cannot access features on the IVE.

Specifying password access restrictions

You can restrict IVE and resource access by password-length when administrators or users try to sign in to an IVE. The user must enter a password whose length meets the minimum password-length requirement specified for the realm. Note that local user and administrator records are stored in the IVE authentication server. This server requires that passwords are a minimum length of 6 characters, regardless of the value you specify for the realm's authentication policy. To specify password restrictions: 1. Select an administrator or user realm for which you want to implement password restrictions. Navigate to: Administrators > Admin Realms > Select Realm > Authentication Policy > Password Users > User Realms > Select Realm > Authentication Policy > Password 2. Choose one of the following options: Allow all users (passwords of any length) Does not apply password length restrictions to users signing in to the IVE. Only allow users that have passwords of a minimum length Requires the user to enter a password with a minimum length of the number specified. 3. Select Enable Password Management if you want to enable password management. You must also configure password management on the IVE authentication server configuration page (local authentication server) or through an LDAP server. For more information about password management, see Enabling LDAP password management on page 111. 4. If you have enabled a secondary authentication server, specify password length restrictions using the restrictions above as a guideline. 5. Click Save Changes to save your settings.
NOTE: By default, the IVE requires that user passwords entered on the sign-in page be a minimum of four characters. The authentication server used to validate a users credentials may require a different minimum length. The IVE local authentication database, for example, requires user passwords to be a minimum length of six characters.

For information about restricting a users access to the IVE, a role, or a resource based on his Cache Cleaner status, see Implementing Cache Cleaner options on page 273.

Specifying limits restrictions

In addition to the access management options you may specify for an authentication policy, you may also specify a limit for concurrent users. A user who enters a URL to one of this realms sign-in pages must meet any access management and concurrent user requirements specified for the authentication policy before the IVE presents the sign-in page to the user. Use limits restrictions to set minimum and maximum concurrent users on the realm. To specify the limits restrictions: 1. Select an administrator or user realm for which you want to implement limits restrictions. Navigate to: Administrators > Admin Realms > SelectRealm > Authentication Policy > Limits Users > User Realms > SelectRealm > Authentication Policy > Limits 2. To limit the number of concurrent users on the realm, select Limit the number of concurrent users and then specify limit values for these options: a. Guaranteed minimumYou can specify any number of users between zero (0) and the maximum number of concurrent users defined for the realm, or you can set the number up to the maximum allowed by your license if there is no realm maximum.

b. Maximum (optional)You can specify any number of concurrent users from the minimum number you specified up to the maximum number of licensed users. If you enter a zero (0) into the Maximum field, no users are allowed to login to the realm. 3. Click Save Changes.

User roles
A user role is an entity that defines user session parameters (session settings and options), personalization settings (user interface customization and bookmarks), and enabled access features (Web, file, application, telnet/SSH, terminal services, network, meeting, and email access). A user role does not specify resource access control or other resource-based options for an individual request. For example, a user role may define whether or not a user can perform Web browsing, however, the individual Web resources that a user may access are defined by the Web resource policies that you configure separately. The IVE supports two types of user roles: AdministratorsAn administrator role is an entity that specifies IVE management functions and session properties for administrators who map to the role. You can customize an administrator role by selecting the IVE feature sets and user roles that members of the administrator role are allowed to view and manage. You can create and configure administrator roles through the Administrators > Admin Roles page of the admin console. UsersA user role is an entity that defines user session parameters, personalization settings, and enabled access features. You can customize a user role by enabling specific IVE access features, defining Web, application, and session bookmarks, and configuring session settings for the enabled access features. You can create and configure user roles through the Users > User Roles page of the admin console. This section includes the following information about roles: Licensing: User roles availability on page 52 User role evaluation on page 52 Configuring user roles on page 54 Customizing user roles UI views on page 66

Juniper Networks Secure Access Administration Guide

Licensing: User roles availability

User roles are an integral part of the IVE access management framework, and therefore are available on all Secure Access products. However, you can only access features through a user role if you are licensed for the feature. For instance, if you are using an SA-700 appliance and have not purchased a Core Clientless Access upgrade license, you cannot enable Web rewriting for a user role.

User role evaluation

The IVEs role mapping engine determines a users session role, or combined permissions valid for a user session, as illustrated in the following diagram. A detailed description of each step follows after the diagram.
Figure 19: Security checks performed by the IVE to create a session role

1. The IVE begins rule evaluation with the first rule on the Role Mapping tab of the authentication realm to which the user successfully signs in. During the evaluation, the IVE determines if the user meets the rule conditions. If so, then: a. The IVE adds the corresponding roles to a list of eligible roles available to the user.

b. The IVE considers whether or not the stop on match option is configured. If so, then the engine jumps to step 5.

52

Licensing: User roles availability

Chapter 4: User roles

2. The IVE evaluates the next rule on the authentication realms Role Mapping tab according to the process in the previous step and repeats this process for each subsequent rule. When the IVE evaluates all role mapping rules, it compiles a comprehensive list of eligible roles. 3. The IVE evaluates the definition for each role in the eligibility list to determine if the user complies with any role restrictions. The IVE then uses this information to compile a list of valid roles, whose requirements the user also meets. If the list of valid roles contains only one role, then the IVE assigns the user to that role. Otherwise, the IVE continues the evaluation process. 4. The IVE evaluates the setting specified on the Role Mapping tab for users who are assigned to more than one role: Merge settings for all assigned rolesIf you choose this option, then the IVE performs a permissive merge of all the valid user roles to determine the overall (net) session role for a user session. User must select from among assigned rolesIf you choose this option, then the IVE presents a list of eligible roles to an authenticated user. The user must select a role from the list, and the IVE assigns the user to that role for the duration of the user session. User must select the sets of merged roles assigned by each ruleIf you choose this option, the IVE presents a list of eligible rules to an authenticated user (that is, rules whose conditions the user has met). The user must select a rule from the list, and the IVE performs a permissive merge of all the roles that map to that rule.
NOTE: If you use automatic (time-based) dynamic policy evaluation or you perform a manual policy evaluation, the IVE repeats the role evaluation process described in this section. For more information, see Dynamic policy evaluation on page 40.

Permissive merge guidelines

A permissive merge is a merge of two or more roles that combines enabled features and settings following these guidelines: Any enabled access feature in one role takes precedence over the same feature set to disabled in another role. For example, if a user maps to two roles, one of which disables Secure Meeting while the other role enables Secure Meeting, the IVE allows the user to use Secure Meeting for that session. In the case of Secure Application Manager, the IVE enables the version corresponding to first role that enables this feature. Furthermore, the IVE merges the settings from all the roles that correspond to the selected version. In the case of user interface options, the IVE applies the settings that correspond to the users first role.

User role evaluation

Juniper Networks Secure Access Administration Guide

In the case of session timeouts, the IVE applies the greatest value from all of the roles to the users session. If more than role enables the Roaming Session feature, then the IVE merges the netmasks to formulate a greater netmask for the session. When merging two roles a user is mapped toone in which bookmarks open in a new window and one in which bookmarks open in the same windowthe merged role opens bookmarks in the same window. When merging two roles in which the first role disables the browsing toolbar and the second role enables either the framed or standard toolbar, the merged role uses the settings from the second role and displays the specified browsing toolbar. The merged role uses the highest value listed for the HTTP Connection Timeout on the Users > User Roles > Select Role > Web > Options page.

Configuring user roles

To create a user role: 1. In the admin console, choose Users > User Roles. 2. Click New Role and then enter a name and optionally a description. This name appears in the list of Roles on the Roles page. Once you have created a role, you can click the roles name to begin configuring it using the instructions in the following sections: Configuring general role options on page 55 Configuring role restrictions on page 56 Specifying role-based source IP aliases on page 57 Specifying session options on page 57 Specifying customized UI settings on page 60 Defining default options for user roles on page 64

Configuring user roles

Chapter 4: User roles

NOTE:

When you delete a role, the personal bookmarks, SAM settings, and other settings may not be removed. Therefore, if you add a new role with the same name, any users added to that new role may acquire the old bookmarks and settings. In general, the IVE enforces referential integrity rules and does not allow you to delete any objects if they are referenced elsewhere. For example, if a role is used in any of the realm's role mapping rules, then the IVE rejects the deletion of the role unless you modify or delete the mapping rules. To create individual user accounts, you must add the users through the appropriate authentication server (not the role). For instructions, see Creating user accounts on a local authentication server on page 117 for local authentication servers. Or for instructions on how to create users on third-party servers, see the documentation that comes with that product.

Configuring general role options

Use the Overview tab to edit a roles name and description, toggle session and user interface options on and off, and enable access features. When you enable an access feature, make sure to create corresponding resource policies. To manage general role settings and options: 1. In the admin console, choose Users > User Roles > RoleName > General > Overview. 2. Revise the name and description and then click Save Changes. (optional) 3. Under Options, check the role-specific options that you want to enable for the role. If you do not select role-specific options, the IVE uses default settings instead, as described in Defining default options for user roles on page 64. Role-specific options include: VLAN/Source IPSelect this option to apply the settings configured in the General > VLAN/Source IP tab to the role.

Configuring role restrictions

Use the Restrictions tab to specify access management options for the role. The IVE considers these restrictions when determining whether or not to map a user to the role. The IVE does not map users to this role unless they meet the specified restrictions. For more information, see General access management on page 35. You may configure any number of access management options for the role. If a user does not conform to all of the restrictions, then the IVE does not map the user to the role. To specify access management options for the role: 1. In the admin console, choose Users > User Roles > RoleName > General > Restrictions. 2. Click the tab corresponding to the option you want to configure for the role, and then configure it using instructions in the following sections: Specifying source IP access restrictions on page 43 Specifying browser access restrictions on page 44 Specifying certificate access restrictions on page 47 Specifying password access restrictions on page 48 Specifying Host Checker access restrictions on page 49 Specifying Cache Cleaner access restrictions on page 49

Chapter 4: User roles

Specifying role-based source IP aliases

Use the VLAN/Source IP tab to define role-based source IP aliases. If you want to direct traffic to specific sites based on roles, you can define a source IP alias for each role. You use these aliases to configure virtual ports you define for the internal interface source IP address. A back-end device can then direct end-user traffic based on these aliases, as long as you configure the back-end device, such as a firewall, to expect the aliases in place of the internal interface source IP address. This capability enables you to direct various end-users to defined sites based on their roles, even though all of the end-user traffic has the same internal interface source IP address.
NOTE: You must define virtual ports to take advantage of the role-based Source IP aliases. For more information on virtual ports, see Configuring internal and external ports on page 561 and Configuring virtual ports on page 566.

To specify a source IP alias for the role: 1. In the admin console, choose Users > User Roles > RoleName > General > VLAN/Source IP. 2. Select the VLAN you want to use from the VLAN drop-down menu, if you have defined VLAN ports on your system. If you have not defined VLAN ports, the option defaults to the Internal Port IP address. If you have provisioned IVS systems, and you have defined VLAN ports and you want any of those VLAN ports to appear in this drop-down menu, you must include the VLAN ports in the Selected VLANs text box on the Root IVS configuration page. 3. Select a source IP address from the drop-down menu. 4. Click Save Changes to apply the settings to the role.
NOTE:

If an end-user is mapped to multiple roles and the IVE merges roles, the IVE associates the source IP address configured for the first role in the list with the merged role. You can specify the same Source IP address for multiple roles. You cannot specify multiple Source IP addresses for one role.

Specifying session options

Use the Session tab to specify session time limits, roaming capabilities, session and password persistency, request follow-through options, and idle timeout application activity. Check the Session Options checkbox on the Overview tab to enable these settings for the role.

Configuring user roles

Juniper Networks Secure Access Administration Guide

To specify general session options: 1. In the admin console, choose Users > User Roles > RoleName > General > Session Options. 2. Under Session Lifetime, specify values for: Idle TimeoutSpecify the number of minutes a non-administrative user session may remain idle before ending. The minimum is 5 minutes. The default idle session limit is ten minutes, which means that if a users session is inactive for ten minutes, the IVE ends the user session and logs the event in the system log (unless you enable session timeout warnings described below). Max. Session LengthSpecify the number of minutes an active nonadministrative user session may remain open before ending. The minimum is 6 minutes. The default time limit for a user session is sixty minutes, after which the IVE ends the user session and logs the event in the system log. During an end-user session, prior to the expiration of the maximum session length, the IVE prompts the user to re-enter authentication credentials, which avoids the problem of terminating the user session without warning. Reminder TimeSpecify when the IVE should prompt non-administrative users, warning them of an impending session or idle timeout. Specify in number of minutes before the timeout is reached.
NOTE: If you are using Secure Meeting, you can configure meeting session limits through the Users > Resource Policies > Meetings page of the admin console. For more information, see Defining resource policies: Secure Meeting on page 508.

3. Under Enable session timeout warning: a. Select Enabled to notify non-administrative users when they are about to reach a session or idle timeout limit. These warnings prompt users to take the appropriate action when they are close to exceeding their session limits or idle timeouts, helping them save any in-progress form data that would otherwise be lost. Users approaching the idle timeout limit are prompted to reactivate their session. Users approaching the session time limit are prompted to save data. For example, an IVE user may unknowingly reach the idle timeout set for his role while using an email client configured to work with the IVE, because the IVE does not receive data while the user composes email. If the session timeout warning is enabled, however, IVE prompts the user to reactivate his IVE session before the session times out and forces the users IVE session to end. This warning gives the user the opportunity to save his partially composed email.

b. Check the Display sign-in page on max session time out checkbox if you want to display a new browser sign-in page to the end-user when their session times out. This option only appears when you choose to enable the session timeout warning.
NOTE:

If you do not select this option, the IVE only displays expiration messages to usersit does not give them the option to extend their sessions. Instead, users need to access the IVE sign-in page and authenticate into a new session. This option only applies to expiration messages displayed by the end-user's browser, not by other clients such as WSAM or Network Connect. 4. Under Roaming session, specify: EnabledTo enable roaming user sessions for users mapped to this role. A roaming user session works across source IP addresses, which allows mobile users (laptop users) with dynamic IP addresses to sign in to the IVE from one location and continue working from another. However, some browsers may have vulnerabilities that can allow malicious code to steal user cookies. A malicious user could then use a stolen IVE session cookie to sign in to the IVE. Limit to subnetTo limit the roaming session to the local subnet specified in the Netmask field. Users may sign in from one IP address and continue using their sessions with another IP address as long as the new IP address is within the same subnet. DisabledTo disable roaming user sessions for users mapped to this role. Users who sign in from one IP address may not continue an active IVE session from another IP address; user sessions are tied to the initial source IP address. 5. Under Persistent session, select Enabled to write the IVE session cookie to the client hard disk so that the users IVE credentials are saved for the duration of the IVE session. By default, the IVE session cookie is flushed from the browsers memory when the browser is closed. The IVE session length is determined by both the idle timeout value and maximum session length value that you specify for the role. The IVE session does not terminate when a user closes the browser; an IVE session only terminates when a user signs out of the IVE.

NOTE: If you enable the Persistent session option and a user closes the browser window without signing out, any user may open another instance of the same browser to access the IVE without submitting valid credentials, posing a potential security risk. We recommend that you enable this feature only for roles whose members need access to applications that require IVE credentials and that you make sure these users understand the importance of signing out of the IVE when they are finished.

6. Under Persistent password caching, select Enabled to allow cached passwords to persist across sessions for a role. The IVE supports NTLM and HTTP Basic Authentication and supports servers that are set up to accept both NTLM and anonymous sign-in. The IVE caches NTLM and HTTP Basic Authentication passwords provided by users so that the users are not repeatedly prompted to enter the same credentials used to sign in to the IVE server or another resource in the NT domain. By default, the IVE server flushes cached passwords when a user signs out. A user can delete cached passwords through the Advanced Preferences page. 7. Under Browser request follow-through, select Enabled to allow the IVE to complete a user request made after an expired user session after the user reauthenticates. 8. Under Idle timeout application activity, select Enabled to ignore activities initiated by Web applications (such as polling for emails) when determining whether a session is active. If you disable this option, periodic pinging or other application activity may prevent an idle timeout. 9. Under Upload Logs, select the Enable Upload Logs option to allow the user to transmit (upload) client logs to the IVE.
NOTE: You must also enable client-side logs on the System > Log/Monitoring > Client Logs > Settings page to completely enable this option for the user. For more information, see Enabling client-side logs on page 679.

10. Click Save Changes to apply the settings to the role.

Specifying customized UI settings

Use the UI Options tab to specify customized settings for the IVE welcome page and the browsing toolbar for users mapped to this role. The IVE welcome page (or home page) is the Web interface presented to authenticated IVE users. Check the UI Options checkbox on the Overview tab to enable custom settings for the role; otherwise, the IVE uses the default settings. Personalization settings including the sign-in page, page header, page footer, and whether or not to display the browsing toolbar. If the user maps to more than one role, then the IVE displays the user interface corresponding to the first role to which a user is mapped. To customize the IVE welcome page for role users: 1. Choose Users > User Roles > RoleName > General > UI Options. 2. Under Header, specify a custom logo and alternate background color for the header area of the IVE welcome page (optional): Click the Browse button and locate your custom image file.

NOTE: If you do not want user roles to see the copyright notice, you can also deselect the option in the Default Settings for user roles, in general. That way, all subsequent roles you create do not allow the notice to appear on the end-user UI.

Customizing messages
You can customize three basic messages that may be displayed to your end-users when they sign in to the IVE. You can change the message text, and you can add internationalized versions of the messages in Chinese (Simplified), Chinese (Traditional), French, German, Japanese, Korean, and Spanish, in addition to English. To customize messages 1. Select Users > User Roles. 2. In the Roles page, click Default Options. 3. Select the Custom Messages tab. 4. Select the language you want to use from the drop down menu. 5. Enter your text in the Custom Message field, below the default message you want to override. 6. Click Save Changes. 7. Repeat the process to create messages in additional languages.

Customizing user roles UI views

You can use customization options on the Roles page to quickly view the settings that are associated with a specific role or set of roles. For instance, you can view all of the user roles and any Web bookmarks that you have associated with them. Additionally, you can use these customized views to easily link to the bookmarks and other configuration settings associated with a role. To view a sub-set of data on the Roles page: 1. Navigate to Users > User Roles. 2. Select an option from the View menu at the top of the page. For information about these options, see Table 3. 3.

Resource profiles
A resource profile contains all of the resource policies, role assignments, and enduser bookmarks required to provide access to an individual resource. Resource profiles simplify resource configuration by consolidating the relevant settings for an individual resource into a single page within the admin console. The IVE comes with two types of resource profiles: Standard resource profiles enable you to configure settings for a variety of resource types, such as Web sites, client/server applications, directory servers, and terminal servers. When you use this method, you choose a profile type that corresponds to your individual resource and then provide details about the resource. Resource profile templates enable you to configure settings for specific applications. When you use this method, you choose a specific application (such as the Citrix NFuse version 4.0). Then, the IVE pre-populates a variety of values for you based on your chosen application and prompts you to configure additional settings as necessary.
NOTE: For administrators who are accustomed to using a pre-5.3 version of the IVE product, note that you can still use the IVE role and resource policy framework to create bookmarks and associated policies. We recommend that you use resource profiles instead, however, since they provide a simpler, more unified configuration structure.

This section contains the following information about resource profiles: Licensing: Resource profile availability on page 72 Task summary: Configuring resource profiles on page 72 Resource profile components on page 72 Resource profile templates on page 79

71

Juniper Networks Secure Access Administration Guide

Licensing: Resource profile availability

Resource profiles are an integral part of the IVE access management framework, and therefore are available on all Secure Access products. However, you can only access resource profile types that correspond to your licensed features. For instance, if you are using an SA-700 appliance and have not purchased a Core Clientless Access upgrade license, you cannot create Web resource profiles.

Task summary: Configuring resource profiles

To create resource profiles, you must: 1. Create user roles through the Users > User Roles page of the admin console. For instructions, see Configuring user roles on page 54. 2. Create resource profiles through the Users > Resource Profiles page of the admin console. When creating the resource profile, specify the resource, create autopolicies, associate the profile with user roles, and create bookmarks as necessary. For more information, see Resource profile components on page 72.

Resource profile components

Resource profiles contain the following components: ResourcesWhen you are defining a resource profile, you must specify the individual resource that you want to configure (such as your company Intranet site or a Lotus Notes application). All other major settings within the profile branch from this resource. You can configure a variety of resource types, including Web sites, client/server applications, directory servers, and terminal servers. For more information, see Defining resources on page 75. AutopoliciesWhen you are defining a resource profile, you generally create autopolicies that establish the access requirements and other settings for the specified resource. The most common type of autopolicy enables access to the primary resource defined in the profile. Other policy types (such as compression and caching autopolicies) fine-tune how the IVE handles the data that it passes to and from the specified resource. For more information, see Defining autopolicies on page 76. RolesWhen you are defining a resource profile, you generally associate the profile with user roles. The specified roles then inherit the autopolicies and (optionally) the bookmarks defined in the resource profile. For more information, see Defining roles on page 77.

72

Licensing: Resource profile availability

Chapter 5: Resource profiles

BookmarksWhen you are defining a resource profile, you may optionally create a bookmark that links to the profiles primary resource (such as your company intranets main page). You can also create additional bookmarks that link to various sites within the resources domain (such as the Sales and Marketing intranet pages). The IVE displays these bookmarks to users who are assigned to the user roles that you specify. For more information, see Defining bookmarks on page 78. The following diagrams illustrate how resource profiles simplify the configuration of individual resources. The first diagram shows how to configure resources using roles and resource policies. Note that to enable a bookmark for multiple user roles, you must manually re-create the bookmark and enable the appropriate access mechanism for each role. You must also use a variety of pages in the administrator console to create associated resource policies enabling access to the resource and other configuration options. The second diagram shows how to configure resources using resource profiles. Note that you can create a bookmark, associate it with multiple user roles, and create the associated autopolicies enabling access to the resource and other configuration options through a single section in the administrator console. Also note that the IVE automatically enables the appropriate access mechanism to the roles to which you assign the bookmark.

Defining resources
When you are defining a resource profile, you must specify the individual resource that you want to configure. The type of profile that you choose is dependent on the type of resource you want to configure, as described in the following table:

For configuration instructions, see:

Defining resource profiles: Terminal Services on page 470

NOTE: You cannot configure applications through Network Connect using resource profiles. Instead, you must use roles and resource policies. For more information, see Network Connect on page 521.

When defining resources, you can use IVE variables, such as <user> to dynamically link users to the correct resources. For instance, you can specify the following Web resource in order to direct users to their own individual intranet pages:
http://yourcompany.intranet/<user>

Defining autopolicies
When you are defining a resource profile, you generally create autopolicies that establish the access requirements and other settings for the specified resource. The most common type of autopolicy enables access to the primary resource defined in the profile. Other policy types (such as compression and caching autopolicies) fine-tune how the IVE handles the data that it passes to and from the specified resource. When creating resource profiles, the IVE only displays those autopolicies that are relevant to the resource profile type. For instance, you may choose to enable access to a client/server application through a WSAM resource profile. When you do, the IVE displays autopolicies that you can use to enable access to the specified applications server. On the other hand, the IVE does not display Java access control autopolicies, since Java settings do not apply to WSAM.

76

Resource profile components

Chapter 5: Resource profiles

Additionally, the IVE consolidates all of the relevant autopolicy options in a single page of the user interface, enabling you to understand all of the configuration possibilities and requirements for any given resource type.
NOTE:

Access control autopolicies are generally based on the primary resource that you define in the resource profile. If you change the profiles primary resource, however, the IVE does not necessarily update the corresponding autopolicies. You should re-evaluate your autopolicies after changing the profiles primary resource. For administrators who are accustomed to using a pre-5.3 version of the IVE product, note that autopolicies are resource policies. The IVE allows you to sort and order autopolicies along with standard resource policies in the Users > Resource Policies pages of the admin console. However, the IVE does not allow you to access more detailed configuration options for autopolicies through this section of the admin console. Instead, if you want to change the configuration of an autopolicy, you must access it through the appropriate resource profile. For administrators who are accustomed to using a pre-5.3 version of the IVE product, note that you can also automatically create resource policies by enabling the Auto-allow option at the role level. However, note that we recommend that you use autopolicies instead, since they directly correspond to the resource you are configuring rather than all resources of a particular type. (You may also choose to enable the Auto-allow option for a role-level feature and create autopolicies for resources of the same type. When you do, the IVE creates policies for both and displays them in the appropriate resource policies page of the admin console.)

Defining roles
Within a resource profile, you can assign user roles to the profile. For instance, you might create a resource profile specifying that members of the Customers role can access your companys Support Center, while members of the Evaluators role cannot. When you assign user roles to a resource profile, the roles inherit all of the autopolicies and bookmarks defined in the resource profile. Since the resource profile framework does not include options for creating roles, you must create user roles before you can assign them to resource profiles. However, the resource profile framework does include some user role configuration options. For instance, if you assign a user role to a Web resource profile, but you have not enabled Web rewriting for the role, the IVE automatically enables it for you.
NOTE: Note that you can assign roles to a resource profile through the IVE role framework as well as the resource profile framework.

Resource profile components

77

Juniper Networks Secure Access Administration Guide

Defining bookmarks
When you create a resource profile, the IVE generally creates a bookmark that links to the profiles primary resource1 (such as your company intranets main page). Optionally, you may also create additional bookmarks that link to various sites within the primary resources domain (such as the Sales and Marketing intranet pages). When you create these bookmarks, you can assign them to user roles, thereby controlling which bookmarks users see when they sign into the IVE enduser console. For example, you may create a resource profile that controls access to your company intranet. Within the profile, you may specify: Resource profile name: Your Intranet Primary resource: http://intranet.com Web access control autopolicy: Allow access to http://intranet.com:80/* Roles: Sales, Engineering When you create this policy, the IVE automatically creates a bookmark called Your Intranet enabling access to http://intranet.com and displays the bookmark to members of the Sales and Engineering roles. You may then choose to create the following additional bookmarks to associate with the resource profile: Sales Intranet bookmark: Creates a link to the http://intranet.com/sales page and displays the link to members of the Sales role.

1. WSAM and JSAM resource profiles do not include bookmarks, since the IVE cannot launch the applications specified in the resource profiles.

78

Resource profile components

Chapter 5: Resource profiles

Engineering Intranet bookmark: Creates a link to the http://intranet.com/engineering page and displays the link to members of the Engineering role.
NOTE: When configuring bookmarks, note that:

You can only assign bookmarks to roles that you have already associated with the resource profilenot all of the roles defined on the IVE. To change the list of roles associated with the resource profile, use settings in its Roles tab. Bookmarks simply control which links the IVE displays to usersnot which resources the users can access. For instance, in the example used above, a member of the Sales role would not see a link to the Engineering Intranet page, but he could access it by entering http://intranet.com/engineering his Web browsers address bar. Similarly, if you delete a bookmark, users can still access the resource defined in the profile. The IVE allows you to create multiple bookmarks to the same resource. If you assign duplicate bookmarks to the same user role, however, the IVE only displays one of them to the users. Bookmarks link to the primary resource that you define in the resource profile (or a sub-directory of the primary resource). If you change the profiles primary resource, the IVE updates the corresponding bookmarks accordingly.

Resource profile templates

Resource profile templates enable you to configure settings for specific applications. When you use this method, you choose a specific application (such as the Citrix NFuse version 4.0). Then, the IVE pre-populates a variety of values for you based on your chosen application and prompts you to configure additional settings as necessary. Currently, the IVE includes templates for the following third-party applications: CitrixFor more information, see Defining resource profiles: Citrix Web applications on page 307.

Resource policies
A resource policy is a system rule that specifies resources and actions for a particular access feature. A resource is either a server or file that can be accessed through an IVE appliance, and an action is to allow or deny a resource or to perform or not perform a function. Each access feature has one or more types of policies, which determine the IVE appliances response to a user request or how to enable an access feature (in the case of Secure Meeting and Email Client). You may also define detailed rules for a resource policy, which enable you to evaluate additional requirements for specific user requests. You can create the following types of resource policies through the Resource Policies pages of the IVE: Web Resource PoliciesThe Web resource policies specify the Web resources to which users may or may not browse. They also contain additional specifications such as header caching requirements, servers to which java applets can connect, code-signing certificates that the IVE should use to sign java applets, resources that the IVE should and should not rewrite, applications for which the IVE performs minimal intermediation, and single sign-on options. File Resource PoliciesThe file resource policies specify the Windows, UNIX, and NFS file resources to which users may or may not browse. hey also contain additional specifications such as file resources for which users need to provide additional credentials. Secure Application Manager Resource PoliciesThe Secure Application Manager resource policies allow or deny access to applications configured to use JSAM or WSAM to make socket connections. Telnet/SSH Resource PoliciesThe Telnet/SSH resource policies allow or deny access to the specified servers. Terminal Services PoliciesThe Terminal Services resource policies allow or deny access to the specified Windows servers or Citrix Metaframe servers. Network Connect Resource PoliciesThe Network Connect resource policies allow or deny access to the specified servers and specify IP address pools. Secure Meeting Resource PoliciesThe Secure Meeting resource policy allows you to enable various features such as email notifications, session limits, daylight savings adjustments, and color-depth settings.

81

Juniper Networks Secure Access Administration Guide

Secure Email Client Resource PoliciesThe Secure Email Client access resource policy allows you to enable or disable email client support.

NOTE: You can also create resource policies as part of the resource profile configuration process. In this case, the resource policies are called advanced policies. For more information, see Resource profiles on page 71.

This section provides the following information: Licensing: Resource policies availability on page 82 Resource policy components on page 82 Resource policy evaluation on page 86 Creating detailed rules for resource policies on page 87 Customizing resource policy UI views on page 89

Licensing: Resource policies availability

Resource policies are an integral part of the IVE access management framework, and therefore are available on all Secure Access products. However, you can only access resource policy types that correspond to your licensed features. For instance, if you are using an SA-700 appliance and have not purchased a Core Clientless Access upgrade license, you cannot create Web resource policy.

Resource policy components

A resource policy contains the following information: Resources: A collection of resource names (URLs, host names, or IP address/netmask combinations) that specifies the resources to which the policy applies. You can specify a resource using a wildcard prefix to match host names. The default resource for a policy is star (*), meaning that the policy applies to all related resources. For more information, see Specifying resources for a resource policy on page 83. Roles: An optional list of user roles to which this policy applies. The default setting is to apply the policy to all roles. Action: The action for an IVE to take when a user requests the resource corresponding to the Resource list. An action may specify to allow or deny a resource or to perform or not perform an action, such as to rewrite Web content or allow Java socket connections.

82

Licensing: Resource policies availability

Chapter 6: Resource policies

Detailed Rules: An optional list of elements that specifies resource details (such as a specific URL, directory path, file, or file type) to which you want to apply a different action or for which you want to evaluate conditions before applying the action. You can define one or more rules and specify the order in which the IVE evaluates them. For more information, see Creating detailed rules for resource policies on page 87.

Specifying resources for a resource policy

The IVE platforms engine that evaluates resource policies requires that the resources listed in a policys Resources list follow a canonical format. This section describes the canonical formats available for specifying Web, file, and server resources. When a user tries to access a specific resource, an IVE appliance compares the requested resource to the resources specified in the corresponding policies, starting with the first policy in a policy list. When the engine matches a requested resource to a resource specified in a policys Resources list, it then evaluates further policy constraints and returns the appropriate action to the appliance (no further policies are evaluated). If no policy applies, then the appliance evaluates the auto-allow bookmarks (if defined); otherwise the default action for the policy is returned.
NOTE: You may not see the auto-allow option, if you are using a new installation, if you use resource profiles rather than resource policies, or if an administrator has hidden the option. For more information on this option, see Setting system options on page 575.

General notes about the canonical formats

If a path component ends with forward-slash_star (/*), then it matches the leaf node and everything below. If the path component ends with forwardslash_percent (/%), then it matches the leaf node and everything one-level below only. For example:
/intranet/* matches: /intranet /intranet/home.html /intranet/elee/public/index.html /intranet/% matches: /intranet /intranet/home.html but NOT /intranet/elee/public/index.html

A resources host name and IP address are passed to the policy engine at the same time. If a server in a policys Resources list is specified as an IP address, then the evaluation is based on the IP address. Otherwise, the engine tries to match the two host namesit does not perform a reverse-DNS-lookup to determine the IP.

Resource policy components

83

Juniper Networks Secure Access Administration Guide

If a host name in a policys Resources list is not fully qualified, such as juniper is specified instead of intranet.juniper.net, then the engine performs the evaluation as-is; no further qualification for the host name is performed.

Specifying server resources

When specifying server resources for Telnet/SSH, Terminal Services, or Network Connect resource policies, note the following guidelines. Canonical format: [protocol://] host [:ports] The components are: Protocol (optional)Possible case-insensitive values: tcp udp icmp If the protocol is missing, then all protocols are assumed. If a protocol is specified, then the delimiter :// is required. No special characters are allowed.

NOTE: Available only to Network Connect policies. For other access feature resource policies, such as Secure Application Manager and Telnet/SSH, it is invalid to specify this component.

Host (required)Possible values: IP address/NetmaskThe IP address needs to be in the format: a.b.c.d The netmask may be in one of two formats: Prefix: High order bits IP: a.b.c.d For example: 10.11.149.2/24 or 10.11.149.2/255.255.255.0 No special characters are allowed. DNS HostnameFor example: www.juniper.com

84

Resource policy components

Chapter 6: Resource policies

Special characters allowed include:

Table 5: DNS Hostname Special Characters
* % ? Matches ALL characters Matches any character except dot (.) Matches exactly one character

NOTE: You cannot specify a host name for a Network Connect resource policy. You can only specify an IP address.

Ports (optional)Possible values:

Table 6: Port possible values
* port[,port]* [port1]-[port2] Matches ALL ports; no other special characters are allowed A comma-delimited list of single ports. Valid port numbers are [165535]. A range of ports, from port1 to port2, inclusive.

NOTE: You may mix port lists and port ranges, such as: 80,443,8080-8090

If the port is missing, then the default port 80 is assigned for http, 443 for https. If a port is specified, then the delimiter : is required. For example:
<username>.danastreet.net:5901-5910 10.10.149.149:22,23 tcp://10.11.0.10:80 udp://10.11.0.10:*

Resource policy evaluation

When an IVE appliance receives a user request, it evaluates the resource policies corresponding to the type of request. When it processes the policy that corresponds to the requested resource, it applies the specified action to the request. This action is defined on the policys General tab or Detailed Rules tab. For example, if a user requests a Web page, the IVE knows to use the Web resource policies. In the case of Web requests, the IVE always starts with the Web Rewriting policies (Selective Rewriting and Pass through Proxy) to determine whether or not to handle the request. If none of these policies applies (or none is defined), the IVE then evaluates the Web Access policies until it finds one that pertains to the requested resource. An IVE appliance evaluates a set of resource policies for an access feature from the top down, meaning that it starts with the policy numbered one and then continues down the policy list until it finds a matching policy. If you defined detailed rules for the matching policy, the IVE evaluates the rules from the top down, starting with the rule numbered one and stopping when it finds a matching resource in the rules Resource list. The following diagram illustrates the general steps of policy evaluation:
Figure 22: Resource policy evaluation steps

Details regarding each evaluation step: 1. The IVE receives a user request and evaluates the users session role to determine if the corresponding access feature is enabled. A users session role is based on either the role or roles to which the user is assigned during the authentication process. The access features enabled for a user are determined by an authentication realms role mapping configuration. (For more information, see User role evaluation on page 52.)

86

Resource policy evaluation

Chapter 6: Resource policies

2. The IVE determines which policies match the request. The IVE evaluates the resource policies related to the user request, sequentially processing each policy until finding the one whose resource list and designated roles match the request. (If you configure the IVE using resource profiles, the IVE evaluates the advanced policies that you configure as part of the resource profile.) The Web and file access features have more than one type of policy, so the IVE first determines the type of request (such as to a Web page, Java applet, or UNIX file) and then evaluates the policies related to the request. In the case of the Web access feature, the Rewriting policies are evaluated first for every Web request. The remaining five access featuresSecure Application Manager, Secure Terminal Access, Secure Meeting, and Secure Email Clienthave only one resource policy. 3. The IVE evaluates and executes the rules specified in the matching policies. You can configure policy rules to do two things: Specify resources to which an action applies at a more granular level. For example, if you specify a Web server in the main policy settings for a Web Access resource policy, you can define a detailed rule that specifies a particular path on this server and then change the action for this path. Require the user to meet specific conditions written as boolean expressions or custom expressions in order to apply the action. for more information, see Creating detailed rules for resource policies on page 87). 4. The IVE stops processing resource policies as soon as the requested resource is found in a policys Resource list or detailed rule. .
NOTE: If you use automatic (time-based) dynamic policy evaluation or you perform a manual policy evaluation, the IVE repeats the resource evaluation process described in this section. For more information, see Dynamic policy evaluation on page 40.

Creating detailed rules for resource policies

The Web, file, Secure Application Manager, Telnet/SSH, and Network Connect access features enable you to specify resource policies for individual Web, file, application, and telnet servers. The Secure Meeting and Email Client access features each have one policy that applies globally. For these two policies, you specify server settings that are used for every role that enables these access features. For all other access features, you can specify any number of resource polices, and for each, you can define one or more detailed rules. A detailed rule is a an extension of a resource policy that may specify: Additional1 resource informationsuch as a specific path, directory, file, or file typefor resources listed on the General tab.

1. Note that you may also specify the same resource list (as on the General tab) for a detailed rule if the only purpose of the detailed rule is to apply conditions to a user request.

An action different from that specified on the General tab (although the options are the same). Conditions that must be true in order for the detailed rule to apply. In many cases, the base resource policythat is, the information specified on the General tab of a resource policyprovides sufficient access control for a resource: If a user belonging to the (defined_roles) tries to access the (defined_resources), DO the specified (resource_action). You may want to define one or more detailed rules for a policy when you want perform an action based on a combination of other information, which can include: A resources properties, such as its header, content-type, or file type A users properties, such as the users username and roles to which the user maps A sessions properties, such as the users source IP or browser type, whether the user is running Host Checker or Cache Cleaner, the time of day, and certificate attributes Detailed rules add flexibility to resource access control by enabling you to leverage existing resource and permission information to specify different requirements for different users to whom the base resource policy applies.

Writing a detailed rule

Detailed rules add flexibility to resource access control by enabling you to leverage existing resource and permission information to specify different requirements for different users to whom the base resource policy applies. To write a detailed rule for a resource policy: 1. On the New Policy page for a resource policy, enter the required resource and role information. 2. In the Action section, select Use Detailed Rules and then click Save Changes. 3. On the Detailed Rules tab, click New Rule. 4. On the Detailed Rule page: a. In the Action section, configure the action you want to perform if the user request matches a resource in the Resource list (optional). Note that the action specified on the General tab is carried over by default.

b. In the Resources section, specify any of the following (required): The same or a partial list of the resources specified on the General tab.

A specific path or file on the server(s) specified on the General tab, using wildcards when appropriate. For information about how to use wildcards within a Resources list, see the documentation for the corresponding resource policy. A file type, preceded by a path if appropriate or just specify */*.file_extension to indicate files with the specified extension within any path on the server(s) specified on the General tab. c. In the Conditions section, specify one or more expressions to evaluate in order to perform the action (optional): Boolean expressions: Using system variables, write one or more boolean expressions using the NOT, OR, or AND operators. See System variables and examples on page 860 for a list of variables available in resource policies. Custom expressions: Using the custom expression syntax, write one or more custom expressions. See Custom expressions on page 855 for syntax and variable information. Note that custom expressions are available only with the Advanced license.

NOTE: You can use the <USER> substitution variable in ACLs for web pages, telnet, files, and SAM. You cannot use the variable in Network Connect ACLs.

d. Click Save Changes. 5. On the Detailed Rules tab, order the rules according to how you want the IVE to evaluate them. Keep in mind that once the IVE matches the resource requested by the user to a resource in a rules Resource list, it performs the specified action and stops processing rules (and other resource policies).

Customizing resource policy UI views

You can limit which resource policies the IVE displays on any given resource policy page based on user roles. For instance, you can configure the Users > Resource Policies > Web page of the admin console to only display those resource policies that are assigned to the Sales user role. To control which resource policies the IVE displays: 1. Navigate to Users > Resource Policies > Policy Type. 2. From the Show all policies that apply to list, select All Roles or an individual role. 3. Click Update. The IVE displays resource policies that are assigned to the selected roles.

Authentication and directory servers

An authentication server is a database that stores user credentialsusername and passwordand typically group information. When a user signs in to the IVE, the user specifies an authentication realm, which is associated with an authentication server. If the user meets the realms authentication policy, the IVE forwards the users credentials to the associated authentication server. The authentication servers job is to verify that the user exists and is who she claims to be. After verifying the user, the authentication server sends approval to the IVE and, if the realm also uses the server as a directory/attribute server, the users group information or other user attribute information. The IVE then evaluates the realms role mapping rules to determine to which user roles the user may be mapped. The Juniper Networks Instant Virtual Extranet platform supports the most common authentication servers, including Windows NT Domain, Active Directory, RADIUS, LDAP, NIS, RSA ACE/Server, and eTrust SiteMinder, and enables you to create one or more local databases of users who are authenticated by the IVE. For server overview and configuration information, see Authentication and directory servers on page 91. A directory server is a database that stores user and typically group information. You can configure an authentication realm to use a directory server to retrieve user or group information for use in role mapping rules and resource policies. Currently, the IVE supports LDAP servers for this purpose, which means you can use an LDAP server for both authentication and authorization. You simply need to define one server instance, and then the LDAP servers instance name appears in both the Authentication and Directory/Attribute drop-down lists on a realms General tab. You can use the same server for any number of realms. In addition to LDAP, you can use a RADIUS or SiteMinder server for retrieving user attributes that can be used in role mapping rules. Unlike an LDAP server instance, however, a RADIUS or SiteMinder server instance name does not appear in a realms Directory/Attribute drop-down list. To use a RADIUS or SiteMinder server to retrieve user information, you simply choose its instance name in the Authentication list and then choose Same as Above in the Directory/Attribute list. Then, you configure role mapping rules to use attributes from the RADIUS or SiteMinder server, which the IVE provides in an attribute list on the Role Mapping Rule page after you select Rule based on User attribute.

Authentication servers are an integral part of the IVE access management framework, and therefore available on all Secure Access products. Note, however, that the eTrust Siteminder server is not available on the SA 700 appliance and is only available on other Secure Access appliances with an Advanced license.

Task summary: Configuring authentication servers

To specify an authentication server that a realm may use, you must first configure a server instance on the Authentication > Auth. Servers page. When you save the servers settings, the server name (the name assigned to the instance) appears on the realms General tab in the Authentication drop-down list. If the server is a(n): LDAP or Active Directory serverThe instance name also appears in the Directory/Attribute drop-down list on the realms General tab. You may use the same LDAP or Active Directory server for both authentication and authorization for a realm, as well as use these servers for authorization for any number of realms that use different authentication servers. RADIUS serverThe instance name also appears in the Accounting dropdown list on the realms General tab. You may use the same RADIUS server for both authentication and accounting for a realm, as well as use these servers for accounting for any number of realms that use different authentication servers. To configure authentication servers:

Licensing: Authentication server availability

Chapter 7: Authentication and directory servers

1. Set up your authentication/authorization server using instructions from the provider. 2. Create an instance of the server starting at the Authentication > Authentication > Auth. Servers page in the admin console. 3. Create an authentication realm using settings in the Users > User Realms or Administrators > Admin Realms page of the admin console. For instructions, see Creating an authentication realm on page 166. 4. Local authentication servers only: Add users to the server using settings in the Authentication > Auth. Servers > Select Local Server > Users page of the admin console. For instructions, see Creating user accounts on a local authentication server on page 117. 5. Password management only: set up password management options using instructions in Enabling LDAP password management on page 111.

NOTE: An authentication server must be able to contact the IVE. If an authentication server such as RSA ACE/Server does not use IP addresses for the agent hosts, the authentication server must be able to resolve the IVE host name, either through a DNS entry or an entry in the authentication servers host file.

NOTE: When determining which server type to select:

You can only create one eTrust Siteminder server instance per IVE. If you authenticate your Active Directory server with: NTLM protocolChoose Active Directory/Windows NT Domain. For more information, see Configuring an ACE/Server instance on page 96. LDAP protocolChoose LDAP Server. For more information, see Configuring an LDAP server instance on page 106. If you are creating a local authentication server instance to authenticate user administrators, you must select Local Authentication. For more information, see Configuring a local authentication server instance on page 115.

Defining an authentication server instance

Use the Auth. Servers page to define authentication server instances. Authentication servers authenticate user credentials and authorization servers provide user information that the IVE uses to determine user privileges within the system. For example, you can specify a certificate server instance to authenticate users based on their client-side certificate attributes and then create an LDAP server instance to authorize the users based on values contained within a CRL (certificate revocation list). For more information about authentication servers, see Authentication and directory servers on page 91.

Configuring an anonymous server instance

The anonymous server feature allows users to access the IVE without providing a username or password. Instead, when a user enters the URL of a sign-in page that is configured to authenticate against an anonymous server, the IVE bypasses the standard IVE sign-in page, and immediately displays the IVE welcome page to the user.

94

Configuring an anonymous server instance

Chapter 7: Authentication and directory servers

You may choose to use anonymous authentication if you think that the resources on the IVE do not require extreme security, or if you think that other security measures provided through the IVE are sufficient. For example, you may create a user role with limited access to internal resources, and then authenticate that role with a policy that only requires users to sign in from an IP address that resides within your internal network. This method presumes that if a user can access your internal network, s/he is qualified to view the limited resources provided through the user role. This section contains the following information about anonymous servers: Anonymous server restrictions on page 95 Defining an anonymous server instance on page 95

Anonymous server restrictions

When defining and monitoring an anonymous server instance, note that: You can only add one anonymous server configuration. You cannot authenticate administrators using an anonymous server. During configuration, you must choose the anonymous server as both the authentication server and the directory/attribute server in the Users > User Realms > General tab. For more information, see Creating an authentication realm on page 166. When creating role mapping rules through the Users > User Realms > Role Mapping tab (as explained in Creating role mapping rules on page 169), the IVE does not allow you to create mapping rules that apply to specific users (such as Joe), since the anonymous server does not collect username information. You can only create role mapping rules based on a default username (*), certificate attributes, or custom expressions. For security reasons, you may want to limit the number of users who sign in through an anonymous server at any given time. To do this, use the option on the Users > User Realms > [Realm] > Authentication Policy > Limits tab (where [Realm] is the realm that is configured to use the anonymous server to authenticate users). For more information, see Specifying limits restrictions on page 49. You cannot view and delete the sessions of anonymous users through a Users tab (as you can with other authentication servers), because the IVE cannot display individual session data without collecting usernames.

To update an existing server instance, click the appropriate link in the Authentication/Authorization Servers list. 3. Specify a name to identify the server instance. 4. Click Save Changes. 5. Specify which realms should use the server to authorize users. For more information, see Defining authentication policies on page 168.

Configuring an ACE/Server instance

When authenticating users with an RSA ACE/Server, users may sign in using two methods: Using a hardware token and the standard IVE sign-in pageThe user browses to the standard IVE sign-in page, then enters her username and password (consisting of the concatenation of her PIN and her RSA SecurID hardware tokens current value). The IVE then forwards the users credentials to ACE/Server. Using a software token and the custom SoftID IVE sign-in pageThe user browses to the SoftID custom sign-in page. Then, using the SoftID plug-in, she enters her username and PIN. The SoftID plug-in generates a pass phrase by concatenating the users PIN and token and passes the pass phrase to the IVE. For information about enabling the SoftID custom sign-in pages, the Custom Sign-In Pages Solution Guide. If ACE/Server positively authenticates the user, she gains access to the IVE. Otherwise, the ACE/Server: Denies the user access to the system if the users credentials were not recognized. Prompts the user to generate a new PIN (New PIN mode) if the user is signing in to the IVE for the first time. (The user sees different prompts depending on the method she uses to sign in. If the user signs in using the SoftID plug-in, she sees the RSA prompts for creating a new pin; otherwise the user sees the IVE prompts.) Prompts the user to enter her next token (Next Token mode) if the token entered by the user is out of sync with the token expected by ACE/Server. (Next Token mode is transparent to users signing in using a SoftID token. The RSA SecurID software passes the token through the IVE to ACE/Server without user interaction.)

96

Configuring an ACE/Server instance

Chapter 7: Authentication and directory servers

Redirects the user to the standard IVE sign-in page (SoftID only) if the user tries to sign-in to the RSA SecurID Authentication page on a computer that does not have the SecurID software installed. When a user enters the New PIN or Next Token mode, she has three minutes to enter the required information before the IVE cancels the transaction and notifies the user to re-enter her credentials. The IVE can handle a maximum of 200 ACE/Server transactions at any given time. A transaction only lasts as long as is required to authenticate against the ACE/Server. For example, when a user signs into the IVE, the ACE/Server transaction is initiated when the user submits her request for authentication and ends once the ACE/Server has finished processing the request. The user may then keep her IVE session open, even though her ACE/Server transaction is closed. The IVE supports the following ACE/Server features: New PIN mode, Next Token mode, DES/SDI encryption, AES encryption, slave ACE/Server support, name locking, and clustering. The IVE also supports the New PIN and Next Token modes of RSA SecurID through the RADIUS protocol.
NOTE: Due to UNIX limitations of the ACE/Server library, you may define only one ACE/Server configuration. For information on generating an ACE/Agent configuration file for the IVE on the ACE server, see Generating an ACE/Agent configuration file on page 98.

Make sure to update this file on the IVE anytime you make changes to the source file. Likewise, if you delete the instance file from the IVE, go to the ACE Server Configuration Management application, as described in Generating an ACE/Agent configuration file on page 98, and remove the check from the Sent Node Secret checkbox. 7. Click Save Changes. If you are creating the server instance for the first time, the Settings and Users tabs appear. 8.

NOTE: For information about monitoring and deleting the sessions of users who are currently signed in through the server, see Monitoring active users on page 686.

Generating an ACE/Agent configuration file

If you use ACE/Server for authentication, you must generate an ACE/Agent configuration file (sdconf.rec) for the IVE on the ACE Server. To generate an ACE/Agent configuration file: 1. Start the ACE/Server Configuration Management application and click Agent Host. 2. Click Add Agent Host. 3. For Name, enter a name for the IVE agent. 4. For Network Address, enter the IP address of the IVE. 5. Enter a Site configured on your ACE server. 6. For Agent Type, select Communication Server. 7. For Encryption Type, select DES. 8. Verify that Sent Node Secret is not selected (when creating a new agent). The first time that the ACE server successfully authenticates a request sent by the IVE, the ACE server selects Sent Node Secret. If you later want the ACE server to send a new Node Secret to the IVE on the next authentication request, do the following: a. Click the Sent Node Secret checkbox to uncheck it.

b. Sign in to the admin console and choose Authentication > Auth. Servers.

Click Generate Config File. When you add the ACE server to the IVE, you will import this configuration file.

Configuring an Active Directory or NT Domain instance

When authenticating users with an NT Primary Domain Controller (PDC) or Active Directory, users sign in to the IVE using the same username and password they use to access their Windows desktops. The IVE supports Windows NT authentication and Active Directory using NTLM or Kerberos authentication. If you configure a native Active Directory server, you may retrieve group information from the server for use in a realms role mapping rules. In this case, you specify the Active Directory server as the realms authentication server, and then you create a role mapping rule based on group membership. The IVE displays all groups from the configured domain controller and its trusted domains. The IVE provides separate checkboxes for each of the primary authentication protocols: Kerberos, NTLMv2, and NTLMv1, allowing you to select or ignore each of these protocols independent of one another. This more granular control of the authentication process avoids unnecessarily raising the failed login count policy in Active Directory and lets you fine-tune the protocols based on your system requirements.

Configuring an Active Directory or NT Domain instance

99

Juniper Networks Secure Access Administration Guide

See Creating role mapping rules on page 169 for more information.
NOTE:

The IVE honors trust relationships in Active Directory and Windows NT environments. When sending user credentials to an Active Directory authentication server, the IVE uses whichever authentication protocol(s) you specify on the New Active Directory/Windows NT page. The IVE defaults to the authentication protocols in order. In other words, if you have selected the checkboxes for Kerberos and NTLMv2, the IVE sends the credentials to Kerberos. If Kerberos succeeds, the IVE does not send the credentials to NTLMv2. If Kerberos is not supported or fails, the IVE uses NTLMv2 as the next protocol in order. The configuration sets up a cascading effect if you choose to use it by setting multiple checkboxes.For more information, see Defining resource policies: UNIX/NFS file resources on page 389. The IVE supports Domain Local Groups, Domain Global Groups, and Universal Groups defined in the Active Directory forest. It also supports Domain Local and Domain Global groups for NT4 servers. The IVE allows only Active Directory security groups, not distribution groups. Security groups allow you to use one type of group for not only assigning rights and permissions, but also as a distribution list for email.

To update an existing server instance, click the appropriate link in the Authentication/Authorization Servers list. 3. Specify a name to identify the server instance. 4. Specify the name or IP address for the primary domain controller or Active Directory server.
100
Configuring an Active Directory or NT Domain instance

Chapter 7: Authentication and directory servers

5. Specify the IP address of your back-up domain controller or Active Directory server. (optional) 6. Enter the domain name of the Active Directory or Windows NT domain. For example, if the Active Directory domain name is us.amr.asgqa.net and you want to authenticate users who belong to the US domain, enter US in the domain field. 7. If you want to specify a computer name, enter it into the Computer Name field. The computer name field is where you specify the name that the IVE uses to join the specified Active Directory domain as a computer. Otherwise, leave the default identifier which uniquely identifies your system.

NOTE: You may note that the computer name is pre-filled with an entry in the format of vcNNNNHHHHHHHH, where, in an IVS system, the NNNN is the IVS ID (assuming you have an IVS license) and the HHHHHHHH is a hex representation of the IP address of the IVE. A unique name, either the one provided by default or one of your own choosing, you can more easily identify your systems in the Active Directory. In a non-IVS system, the first six characters of the name will be vc0000 because there is no IVS ID to display. For example, the name could be something like vc0000a1018dF2 for a non-IVS system.

In a clustered environment with the same AD authentication server, this name is also unique among all cluster nodes, and the IVE displays all of the identifiers for all attached cluster nodes.

8. Select the Allow domain to be specified as part of username checkbox to allow users to sign in by entering a domain name in the Username field in the format: domain\username 9. Select the Allow trusted domains checkbox to get group information from all trusted domains within a forest. 10. For Admin Username and Admin Password, enter an administrator username and password for the AD or NT server.

NOTE:

Make sure the administrator you specify is a domain administrator in the same domain as the AD or NT server. Do not include a domain name with the server administrator username in the Admin Username field. After you save changes, the IVE masks the administrator password using five asterisk characters, regardless of the password length.

Under Kerberos Realm Name: Select Use LDAP to get Kerberos realm name if you want the IVE to retrieve the Kerberos realm name from the Active Directory server using the specified administrator credentials. Enter the Kerberos realm name in the Specify Kerberos realm name field if you know the realm name. 13. Click Test Configuration to verify the Active Directory server configuration settings, such as do the specified domain exists, are the specified controllers Active Directory domain controllers, does the selected authentication protocol work, and so forth. (optional) 14. Click Save Changes. If you are creating the server instance for the first time, the Settings and Users tabs appear. 15. Specify which realms should use the server to authenticate and authorize administrators and users. For more information, see Creating an authentication realm on page 166.
NOTE:

For information about monitoring and deleting the sessions of users who are currently signed in through the server, see Monitoring active users on page 686. The admin console provides last access statistics for each user account on various Users tabs throughout the console, under a set of columns titled Last Sign-in Statistic. The statistics reported include the last successful sign-in date and time for each user, the users IP address, and the agent or browser type and version.

Multi-domain user authentication

The IVE allows for multi-domain Active Directory and Windows NT authentication. The IVE authenticates users in the domain you configure on the Authentication > Auth. Servers > New Active Directory / Windows NT page, users in child domains, and users in all domains trusted by the configured domain. After you specify the address of a domain controller and a default domain in the IVE Active Directory server configuration, users in the default domain authenticate to the IVE using either just their username, or using the default domain plus username in the format defaultdomain\username. When you enable trusted domain authentication, users in trusted or child domains authenticate to the IVE using the name of the trusted or child domain plus the username in the format trusteddomain\username. Note that enabling trusted domain authentication adds to the servers response time.

102

Configuring an Active Directory or NT Domain instance

Chapter 7: Authentication and directory servers

Windows 2000 and Windows 2003 multi-domain authentication

The IVE supports Kerberos-based Active Directory authentication with Windows 2000 and Windows 2003 domain controllers. When a user logs in to the IVE, the IVE performs Kerberos authentication and attempts to fetch the Kerberos realm name for the domain controller, as well as all child and trusted realms, using LDAP calls. You can alternately specify the Kerberos realm name when configuring an Active Directory authentication server, but we do not recommend this method for two reasons: You cannot specify more than one realm name. The IVE cannot then authenticate against child or trusted realms of the realm you specify. If you misspell the realm name, the IVE cannot authenticate users against the proper realm.

Windows NT4 multi-domain authentication

The IVE does not support Kerberos-based authentication in Windows NT4 domain controllers. Instead of Kerberos authentication, the IVE uses NTLM authentication.
NOTE:

For user authentication, the IVE joins the default domain controller server using the machine name in the format <IVE-IPaddress>. If the DNS configuration on the Windows NT4 domain controller changes, make sure that the IVE can still resolve names (child and trusted domains) using either WINS, DNS, or the Hosts file, that were able to resolve the names prior to the configuration change.

NT user normalization
In order to support multi-domain authentication, the IVE uses normalized NT credentials when contacting an Active Directory or NT4 domain controller for authentication. Normalized NT credentials include both the domain name and the username: domain\username. Regardless of how the user signs in to the IVE, either using just a username or using the domain\username format, the IVE always treats the username in the domain\username format. When a user attempts to authenticate using only their username, the IVE always normalizes their NT credentials as defaultdomain\username. Authentication succeeds only if the user is a member of the default domain. For a user who signs to the IVE using the domain\username format, the IVE always attempts to authenticate the user as members of the domain the user specifies. Authentication succeeds only if the user-specified domain is a trusted or child domain of the default domain. If the user specifies an invalid or untrusted domain, authentication fails.

Configuring an Active Directory or NT Domain instance

103

Juniper Networks Secure Access Administration Guide

Two variables, <NTUser> and <NTDomain>, allow you to individually refer to domain and NT username values. The IVE populates these two variables with the domain and NT username information.
NOTE: When using pre-existing role mapping rules or writing a new role mapping rule for Active Directory authentication where USER = someusername, the IVE treats this rule semantically as NTUser = someusername AND NTDomain = defaultdomain. This allows the IVE to work seamlessly with pre-existing role mapping rules.

Active Directory and NT group lookup support

The IVE supports user group lookup in Domain Local, Domain Global, and Universal groups in the Active Directory forest, and Domain Local, and Domain Global groups for NT4 servers.
NOTE: For the NT/AD group lookup to work, the IVE first tries to join the domain using the default computer name. For this operation to succeed, you must specify valid domain administrator credentials in the Active Directory server configuration on the IVE.

Active Directory lookup requirements

The IVE supports user group lookup in Domain Local, Domain Global, and Universal groups in the default domain, child domains, and all trusted domains. The IVE obtains group membership using one of three methods that have different capabilities: Group information in Users Security ContextReturns information about a users Domain Global groups. Group information obtained using LDAP search callsReturns information about the users Domain Global groups, and information about the users Universal groups if the IVE queries the Global Catalog Server. Group information using native RPC callsReturns information about the users Domain Local Group. With respect to role mapping rules, The IVE attempts group lookup in the following order: The IVE checks for all Domain Global groups using the users security context. If the IVE has not found that the user is a member of some of the groups referenced in the role mapping rules, the IVE performs an LDAP query to determine the users group membership. If the IVE has not found that the user is a member of some of the groups referenced in the role mapping rules, the IVE performs an RPC lookup to determine the users Domain Local group membership.

NT4 group lookup requirements

The IVE supports group lookup in the Domain Local and Domain Global groups created in the default domain, as well as all child, and other trusted domains. The IVE obtains Domain Global group information from the users security context, and Domain Local information using RPC calls. The IVE uses no LDAP-based search calls in the NT4 environment.

Configuring a certificate server instance

The certificate server feature allows users to authenticate based on attributes contained in client-side certificates. You may use certificate server by itself or in conjunction with another server to authenticate users and map them to roles. For example, you may choose to authenticate users solely based on their certificate attributes. If the IVE determines that the users certificate is valid, it signs the user in based on the certificate attributes you specify and does not prompt the user to enter a username or password. Or, you may choose to authenticate users by passing their client-side certificate attributes to a second authentication server (such as LDAP). In this scenario, the certificate server first determines if the users certificate is valid. Then, the IVE can use realm-level role-mapping rules to compare the certificate attributes with the users LDAP attributes. If it cannot find the proper match, the IVE can deny or limit the users access based on your specifications.
NOTE: When using client-side certificates, we strongly recommend that you train

your end-users to close their Web browsers after signing out of the IVE. If they do not, other users may be able to use their open browser sessions to access certificate-protected resources on the IVE without re-authenticating. (After loading a client-side certificate, both Internet Explorer and Netscape cache the certificates credentials and private key. The browsers keep this information cached until the user closes the browser (or in some cases, until the user reboots the workstation). For details, see: http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=290345.) To remind users to close their browsers, you may modify the sign out message in the Authentication > Authentication > Signing In Pages tab. When defining a certificate server on the IVE, you must perform the following steps: 1. Use settings in the System > Configuration > Certificates > CA Certificates tab to import the CA certificate used to sign the client-side certificates. 2. Create a certificate server instance: a. Navigate to Authentication > Auth. Servers.

b. Select Certificate Server from the New list, and then click New Server. c. Specify a name to identify the server instance.

d. In the User Name Template field, specify how the IVE should construct a username. You may use any combination of certificate variables contained in angle brackets and plain text. For a list of certificate variables, see System variables and examples on page 860.

NOTE: If you choose a certificate attribute with more than one value, the IVE uses the first matched value. For example, if you enter <certDN.OU> and the user has two values for the attribute (ou=management, ou=sales), the IVE uses the management value. To use all values, add the SEP attribute to the variable. For example, if you enter <certDN.OU SEP=:> the IVE uses management:sales.

e.

Click Save Changes. If you are creating the server instance for the first time, the Settings and Users tabs appear.

NOTE: For information about monitoring and deleting the sessions of users who are currently signed in through the server, see Monitoring active users on page 686.

3. If you want to verify certificate attributes against an LDAP server, use settings in the Authentication > Auth. Servers page to create an LDAP server instance. Note that you must use the Finding user entries section in the LDAP configuration page to retrieve the user-specific attributes that you want verify through the certificate. 4. Use settings in the Users > User Realms > RealmName > General tab or Administrators > Admin Realms > RealmName > General tab to specify which realms should use the certificate server to authenticate users. (You may also use settings in these tabs to specify realms that should use an LDAP server to verify certificate attributes.) 5. Use settings in the Authentication > Authentication > Signing In Policies page to associate the realms configured in the previous step with individual sign-in URLs. 6. If you want to restrict users access to realms, roles, or resource policies based on individual certificate attributes, use the settings described in Specifying certificate access restrictions on page 47.

Configuring an LDAP server instance

The IVE supports two LDAP-specific authentication options: Unencrypted, in which the IVE sends the username and password to the LDAP Directory Service in clear, simple text.

Defining an LDAP server instance

To define an LDAP server instance: 1. In the admin console, choose Authentication > Auth. Servers. 2. Do one of the following: To create a new server instance on the IVE, select LDAP Server from the New list and then click New Server. To update an existing server instance, click the appropriate link in the Authentication/Authorization Servers list. 3. Specify a name to identify the server instance. 4. Specify the name or IP address of the LDAP server that the IVE uses to validate your users. 5. Specify the port on which the LDAP server listens. This port is typically 389 when using an unencrypted connection and 636 when using SSL.

6. Specify parameters for backup LDAP servers (optional). The IVE uses the specified servers for failover processing; each authentication request is first routed to the primary LDAP server and then to the specified backup server(s) if the primary server is unreachable.
NOTE: Backup LDAP servers must be the same version as the primary LDAP server. Also, we recommend that you specify the IP address of a backup LDAP server instead of its host name, which may accelerate failover processing by eliminating the need to resolve the host name to an IP address.

7. Specify the type of LDAP server that you want to authenticate users against. 8. Specify whether or not the connection between the IVE and LDAP Directory Service should be unencrypted, use SSL (LDAPs), or should use TLS. 9. Specify how long you want the IVE to wait for a connection to the primary LDAP server first, and then each backup LDAP server in turn. 10. Specify how long you want the IVE to wait for search results from a connected LDAP server. 11. Click Test Connection to verify the connection between the IVE appliance and the specified LDAP server(s). (optional) 12. Select the Authentication required to search LDAP checkbox if the IVE needs to authenticate against the LDAP directory to perform a search or to change passwords using the password management feature. Then, enter an administrator DN and password. For more about password management, see Enabling LDAP password management on page 111. For example:
CN=Administrator,CN=Users,DC=eng,DC=Juniper,DC=com

13. Under Finding user entries, specify a: Base DN at which to begin searching for user entries. For example:
DC=eng,DC=Juniper,DC=com

Filter if you want to fine-tune the search. For example:

samAccountname=<username> or cn=<username>

Include <username> in the filter to use the username entered on the sign-in page for the search. Specify a filter that returns 0 or 1 user DNs per user; the IVE uses the first DN returned if more than 1 DN is returned. 14. The IVE supports both static and dynamic groups. (Note that the IVE only supports dynamic groups with LDAP servers.) To enable group lookup, you need to specify how the IVE searches the LDAP server for a group. Under Determining group membership, specify a: Base DN at which to begin searching for user groups.

Nested Group Level to specify how many levels within a group to search for the user. Note that the higher the number, the longer the query time, so we recommend that you specify to perform the search no more than 2 levels deep. Nested Group Search to search by: Nested groups in the LDAP Server Catalog. This option is faster because it can search within the implicit boundaries of the nested group. Search all nested groups. With this option, the IVE searches the Server Catalog first. If the IVE finds no match in the catalog, then it queries LDAP to determine if a group member is a sub-group.

NOTE: Because the IVE looks in the Server Catalog to determine if a member of a parent group is a user object or group object, you must add both the parent and all child (nested) groups to the Server Catalog.

15. Under Bind Options, select: Simple bind to send a users credentials in the clear (no encryption) to the LDAP Directory Service. StartTLS bind to encrypt a users credentials using the Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocol before the IVE sends the data to the LDAP Directory Service. 16. Click Save Changes. If you are creating the server instance for the first time, the Settings and Users tabs appear. 17. Specify which realms should use the server to authenticate and authorize administrators and users.

Configuring LDAP search attributes for meeting creators

Use options in the Meetings tab to specify individual LDAP attributes that a meeting creator may use to search for IVE users when scheduling a meeting. To configure Secure Meeting search attributes: 1. In the admin console, choose Authentication > Auth. Servers. 2. Click on an LDAP server instance. 3. Choose the Meetings tab. 4. In the User Name field, enter the username attribute for this server. For example, enter SamAccountName for an Active Directory server or uid for an iPlanet server. 5. In the Email Address field, enter the email attribute for this server. 6. In the Display Name, Attributes field, enter any additional LDAP attributes whose contents you want to allow meeting creators to view (optional). (For example, to help the meeting creator easily distinguish between multiple invitees with the same name, you may want to expose an attribute that identifies the departments of individual users.) Enter the additional attributes one per line using the format: DisplayName,AttributeName. You may enter up to 10 attributes. 7. Click Save Changes.

Enabling LDAP password management

The IVE password management feature enables users who authenticate through an LDAP server to manage their passwords through the IVE using the policies defined on the LDAP server. For example, if a user tries to sign in to the IVE with an LDAP password that is about to expire, the IVE catches the expired password notification, presents it to the user through the IVE interface, and then passes the users response back to the LDAP server without requiring the user to sign in to the LDAP server separately. Users, administrators, and help desk administrators who work in environments where passwords have set expiration times may find the password management feature very helpful. When users are not properly informed that their passwords are about to expire, they can change them themselves through the IVE rather than calling the Help Desk. The password management feature enables users to change their passwords when prompted or at will. For example, during the sign-in process, the IVE may inform the user that his password is expired or about to expire. If expired, the IVE prompts the user to change his password. If the password has not expired, the IVE may allow the user to sign in to the IVE using his existing password. After he has signed in, he may change his password from the Preferences page. The password management feature enables users to change their passwords when prompted or at will. For example, during the sign-in process, the IVE may inform the user that his password is expired or about to expire. If expired, the IVE prompts the user to change his password. If the password has not expired, the IVE may allow the user to sign in to the IVE using his existing password. After he has signed in, he may change his password from the Preferences page. Once enabled, the IVE performs a series of queries to determine user account information, such as when the users password was last set, if his account is expired, and so forth. The IVE does this by using its internal LDAP or Samba client. Many servers, such as Microsoft Active Directory or Sun iPlanet, offer an Administrative Console to configure account and password options. This section includes the following topics with information about the LDAP password management feature: Task summary: Enabling LDAP password management on page 111 Supported LDAP directories and servers on page 112 Supported LDAP password management functions on page 113

Task summary: Enabling LDAP password management

To enable password management through the IVE, you must: 1. Install a UPG-Password Management Integration license or the Advanced license through the System > Configuration > Licensing page of the admin console. 2. Create an instance of the LDAP server through the Authentication> Auth. Servers page of the admin console.

Configuring an LDAP server instance

3. Associate the LDAP server with a realm through the Administrators/Users > User Realms > [Realm] > General page of the admin console. 4. Enable password management for the realm in the Administrators/Users > User Realms > [Realm] > Authentication Policy >Password page of the admin console. Note that the Enable Password Management option only appears if the realms authentication server is an LDAP or NT/AD server.

Supported LDAP directories and servers

The IVE supports password management with the following LDAP directories: Microsoft Active Directory/Windows NT Sun iPlanet Novell eDirectory Generic LDAP directories, such as IBM Secure Directory and OpenLDAP Additionally, the IVE supports password management with the following Windows servers: Microsoft Active Directory Microsoft Active Directory 2003 Windows NT 4.0 The following sections list specific issues related to individual server types. Microsoft Active Directory Changes on the Active Directory domain security policy may take 5 minutes or more to propagate among Active Directory domain controllers. Additionally, this information does not propagate to the domain controller on which it was originally configured for the same time period. This is a limitation of Active Directory. When changing passwords in Active Directory using LDAP, the IVE automatically switches to LDAPS, even if LDAPS is not the configured LDAP method. To support LDAPS on the Active Directory server, you must install a valid SSL certificate into the servers personal certificate store. Note that the certificate must be signed by a trusted CA and the CN in the certificates Subject field must contain the exact host name of the Active Directory server, for example: adsrv1.company.com. To install the certificate, select the Certificates Snap-In in the Microsoft Management Console (MMC). The Account Expires option in the User Account Properties tab only changes when the account expires, not when the password expires. As explained in Supported LDAP password management functions on page 113, Microsoft Active Directory calculates the password expiration using the Maximum Password Age and Password Last Set values retrieved from the User Policy and Domain Security Policy LDAP objects.

112

Configuring an LDAP server instance

Chapter 7: Authentication and directory servers

Sun iPlanet When you select the User must change password after reset option on the iPlanet server, you must also reset the users password before this function takes effect. This is a limitation of iPlanet. General The IVE only displays a warning about password expiry if the password is scheduled to expire in 14 days or less. The IVE displays the message during each IVE sign in attempt. The warning message contains the remaining number of days, hours, and minutes that the user has to change his password before it expires on the server. The default value is 14 days; however, you may change it through the Administrators|Users > Admin Realms|User Realms> Authorization > Password configuration page of the admin console.

Supported LDAP password management functions

The following matrix describes the password management functions supported by Juniper Networks, their corresponding function names in the individual LDAP directories, and any additional relevant details. These functions must be set through the LDAP server itself before the IVE can pass the corresponding messages, functions, and restrictions to end-users. When authenticating against a generic LDAP server, such as IBM Secure Directory, the IVE only supports authentication and allowing users to change their passwords.

Configuring a local authentication server instance

The IVE enables you to create one or more local databases of users who are authenticated by the IVE. You might want to create local user records for users who are normally verified by an external authentication server that you plan to disable or if you want to create a group of temporary users. Note that all administrator accounts are stored as local records, but you can choose to authenticate administrators using an external server using instructions in Defining authentication policies on page 168. This section contains the following information about local authentication servers: Defining a local authentication server instance on page 115 Creating user accounts on a local authentication server on page 117 Managing user accounts on page 118 Delegating user administration rights to end-users on page 119

Defining a local authentication server instance

When defining a new local authentication server instance, you need to give the server a unique name and configure password options and password management. These password options enable you to control the password length, character composition, and uniqueness. If desired, you can enable users to change their passwords and to force users to change passwords after a specified number of days. You can also prompt the user to change the password within a certain number of days of its expiration date. To define a local authentication server instance: 1. In the admin console, choose Authentication > Auth. Servers. 2. Do one of the following: To create a new server instance on the IVE, select Local Authentication from the New list, and then click New Server. To update an existing server instance, click the appropriate link in the Authentication/Authorization Servers list. 3. Specify a name to identify the new server instance or edit the current name for an existing server. 4. Specify password options: a. Under Password options, set the minimum character length for passwords.

Configuring a local authentication server instance

115

Juniper Networks Secure Access Administration Guide

b. Set the maximum character length for passwords (optional). The maximum length cannot be less than the minimum length. There is no maximum limit to the length.
NOTE:

If the maximum length set on the authentication server is shorter than the maximum length specified on the IVE, you may receive an error if you enter a password that is longer than that specified on the authentication server. The admin console allows you to enter passwords of any length, but your authentication server maximum determines the validity of the password length. If you want all passwords to be the same character length, set both the minimum and maximum lengths to the same value. c. Enable the Password must have at least_digits checkbox and specify the number of digits required in a password (optional). Do not require more digits than the value of the Maximum length option.

d. Enable the Password must have at least_letters checkbox and specify the number of letters required in a password (optional). Do not require more letters than the value of the Maximum length option. If you enable the previous option, the combined total of the two options cannot exceed that of the value specified in the Maximum length option. e. Enable the Password must have mix of UPPERCASE and lowercase letters checkbox if you want all passwords to contain a mixture of upperand lowercase letters (optional).

NOTE: Require passwords to contain at least two letters if you also require a mix of upper- and lowercase letters.

f. g.

Enable the Password must be different from username checkbox if the password cannot equal the username (optional). Enable the New passwords must be different from previous password checkbox if a new password cannot equal the previous password (optional).

5. Specify password management options: a. Under Password management, enable the Allow users to change their passwords checkbox if you want users to be able to change their passwords (optional).

b. Enable the Force password change after _ days checkbox and specify the number of days after which a password expires (optional).
NOTE: The default is 64 days, but you can set this value to any number you desire.

116

Chapter 7: Authentication and directory servers

c.

Enable the Prompt users to change their password _ days before current password expires checkbox and provide the number of days before password expiration to prompt the user (optional).

NOTE: The default value is 14 days, but you can set the value to any number up to the number placed in the previous option.

6. Click Save Changes. If you are creating the server instance for the first time, the Users tabs and Admin Users tabs appear.
NOTE: After you set password options and password management options, you also need to specify which realms should use the server to authenticate and authorize administrators and users. Use the Enable Password Management option on the Administrators|Users > Admin Realms|User Realms > Realm > Authentication Policy > Password page to specify whether or not the realm inherits password management settings from the local authentication server instance. See Specifying password access restrictions on page 48 for information about enabling password management.

Creating user accounts on a local authentication server

When you create a local authentication server instance, you need to define local user records for that database. A local user record consists of a username, the users full name, and the users password. You may want to create local user records for users who are normally verified by an external authentication server that you plan to disable or if you want to quickly create a group of temporary users. To create local user records for a local authentication server: 1. In the admin console, choose Authentication > Auth. Servers. 2. Click the IVE database to which you want to add a user account. 3. Select the Users tab and click New. 4. Enter a username and users full name. Note: Do not include ~~ in a username. If you want to change a users username after creating the account, you must create an entirely new account. 5. Enter and confirm the password. Make sure that the password you enter conforms to the password options specified for the associated local authentication server instance. 6. Select One-time use (disable account after the next successful sign-in) if you want to limit the user to one login. After one successful login, the users login state is set to Disabled and the user receives an error message when attempting subsequent sign ins. However, you can manually reset this option in the admin console to allow the same user to login again. If you leave this option unchecked, it means that you are creating a permanent user.

Configuring a local authentication server instance

117

Juniper Networks Secure Access Administration Guide

7. Select Enabled if not already selected. This option is used by the administrator to selectively enable or disable any user (one time or permanent). Selected by default. If the One-time use option is checked, this option changes to Disabled after the user logs in successfully. If a permanent or one-time user is logged in and you disable this option, the user is immediately logged out of the system and receives an error message. 8. Select Require user to change password at next sign in if you want to force the user to change his or her password at the next login.

NOTE: If you force the user to change passwords, you must also enable the Allow users to change their passwords option. Use options on the Administrators|Users > Admin Realms|User Realms > [Realm] > Authentication Policy > Password page to specify which realms should inherit the server's password management capabilities.

9. Click Save Changes. The user record is added to the IVE database.
NOTE: The admin console provides last access statistics for each user account on various Users tabs throughout the console, under a set of columns titled Last Sign-in Statistic. The statistics reported include the last successful sign-in date and time for each user, the users IP address, and the agent or browser type and version.

Managing user accounts

To manage a local user account: 1. In the admin console, choose Authentication > Auth. Servers. 2. Click the appropriate server link in the Authentication/Authorization Servers list. 3. Select the Users tab. 4. Perform any of the following tasks: Enter a username in the Show users named field and click Update to search for a specific user. Alternatively, you can use an asterisk (*) as a wildcard, where * represents any number of zero or more characters. For example, if you want to search for all usernames that contain the letters jo, enter *jo* in the Show users named field. The search is case-sensitive. To display the entire list of accounts again, either enter * or delete the fields contents and click Update. Enter a number in the Show N users field and click Update to control the number of users displayed on the page.

Delegating user administration rights to end-users

User administrators can manage local authentication servers. User administrators cannot manage realms or role mappings. Therefore, we recommend enabling the User Admin feature only if the authentication realms role mapping rules permit unmatched users (*) to sign in to the IVE so the user administrator can successfully add new users without administrator interference. (When the role mappings are automatic, the user administrator does not need the administrator to manually map the new users to a role.) To delegate user administration rights to an end-user: 1. In the admin console, choose Authentication > Auth. Servers. 2. Select the local authentication server instance that you want the user administrator to manage, and then click the Admin Users tab.
NOTE: User administrators can only administer local authentication servers.

3. Enter the Username of the user who you want to manage accounts for the selected authentication server. This user does not need to be added as a local user on the server that she manages.
NOTE: Be careful when entering the user administrators usernameit must match exactly.

4. Select the Authentication Realm that the user administrator maps to when she signs in to the IVE. 5. Click Add. The IVE adds the new user administrator to the User Admins list using the format: username@servername. 6. If the specified user administrator maps to multiple realms, optionally repeat steps 3-5 for each realm so that she may manage the server regardless of which account she uses to sign in to the IVE. 7. To revoke a users administration rights, select her name from the User Admins list and click Remove.
NOTE: For information about managing users from the secure gateway home page, see the Adding and Modifying Users topic in the end-user help, which is available when signing in to the IVE as an end-user.

Configuring an NIS server instance

When authenticating users with a UNIX/NIS server, the IVE verifies that the username and password entered through the sign-in page correspond to a valid user ID and password pair in the NIS server. Note that the username submitted to the IVE cannot contain two consecutive tilde symbols (~~).
NOTE: You can only use NIS authentication with the IVE if your passwords are stored on the NIS server using Crypt or MD5 formats. Also note that you can only add one NIS server configuration to the IVE, but you can use that configuration to authenticate any number of realms.

To define an NIS server instance: 1. In the admin console, choose Authentication > Auth. Servers. 2. Do one of the following: To create a new server instance on the IVE, select NIS Server from the New list, and then click New Server. To update an existing server instance, click the appropriate link in the Authentication/Authorization Servers list. 3. Specify a name to identify the server instance. 4. Specify the name or IP address of the NIS server. 5. Specify the domain name for the NIS server. 6. Click Save Changes. If you are creating the server instance for the first time, the Settings and Users tabs appear. 7. Specify which realms should use the server to authenticate and authorize administrators and users. For more information, see Defining authentication policies on page 168.
NOTE: For information about monitoring and deleting the sessions of users who are currently signed in through the server, see Monitoring active users on page 686.

Configuring a RADIUS server instance

A Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service (RADIUS) server is a type of server that allows you to centralize authentication and accounting for remote users. When using a RADIUS server to authenticate IVE users, you need to configure it to recognize the IVE as a client and specify a shared secret for the RADIUS server to use to authenticate the client request.

The IVE supports the standard RADIUS authentication schemes, including: Access-Request Access-Accept Access-Reject Access-Challenge The IVE also supports the RSA ACE/Server using the RADIUS protocol and a SecurID token (available from Security Dynamics). If you use SecurID to authenticate users, users must supply their user ID and the concatenation of a PIN and the token value. When defining a RADIUS server, the IVE gives administrators the ability to use either hard-coded (default) challenge expressions that support Defender 4.0 and some RADIUS server implementations (such as Steelbelted-RADIUS and RSA RADIUS) or to enter custom challenge expressions that allow the IVE to work with many different RADIUS implementations and new versions of the RADIUS server, such as Defender 5.0. The IVE looks for the response in the Access-Challenge packet from the server and issues an appropriate Next Token, New Pin, or Generic Passcode challenge to the user. This topic contains the following information about RADIUS servers: User experience for RADIUS users on page 121 Configuring the IVE to work with a RADIUS server on page 122 Enabling RADIUS accounting on page 125

User experience for RADIUS users

The user experience varies depending on whether you are using a PassGo Defender RADIUS server or CASQUE authentication.

Using a PassGo Defender RADIUS Server

If you are using a PassGo Defender RADIUS Server, the user sign-in process is: 1. The user signs in to the IVE with a username and password. The IVE forwards these credentials to Defender. 2. Defender sends a unique challenge string to the IVE and the IVE displays this challenge string to the user. 3. The user enters the challenge string in a Defender token and the token generates a response string. 4. The user enters the response string on the IVE and clicks Sign In.

Using CASQUE authentication

CASQUE authentication uses a token-based challenge/response authentication mechanism employing a CASQUE player installed on the client system. Once configured with CASQUE authentication, the RADIUS server issues a challenge with a response matching the custom challenge expression (:([0-9a-zA-Z/+=]+):). The IVE then generates an intermediate page that automatically launches the CASQUE player installed on the users system.
NOTE: If the CASQUE player does not launch automatically, click the Launch CASQUE Player link.

Users must then use their CASQUE Optical Responder tokens to generate the corresponding passcode, enter the passcode in the Response field, and click Sign In.

Configuring the IVE to work with a RADIUS server

This section includes the following instructions for configuring the IVE and RADIUS server to work together: Defining an IVE RADIUS server instance on page 122 Configuring the RADIUS server to recognize the IVE on page 124

Defining an IVE RADIUS server instance

To configure a connection to the RADIUS server on the IVE: 1. In the admin console, choose Authentication > Auth. Servers. 2. Do one of the following: To create a new server instance on the IVE, select Radius Server from the New list, and then click New Server. To update an existing server instance, click the appropriate link in the Authentication/Authorization Servers list.

122

Configuring a RADIUS server instance

Chapter 7: Authentication and directory servers

3. At the top of the Radius Server page, specify a name to identify the server instance. 4. Specify the name or IP address of the RADIUS server. 5. Enter the authentication port value for the RADIUS server. Typically this port is 1812, but some legacy servers might use 1645. 6. Enter a string for the shared secret. You also need to enter this string when configuring the RADIUS server to recognize the IVE machine as a client. 7. Enter the accounting port value for the RADIUS server. Typically this port is 1813, but some legacy servers might use 1646. 8. Enter the NAS IP Address. This allows you to control the NAS IP address value passed to RADIUS requests. If you leave this field empty, then the IVEs internal IP address will be passed to RADIUS requests. If you configure the NAS IP address, then the value will be passed, regardless of which cluster node sends the requests. 9. Enter the interval of time for the IVE to wait for a response from the RADIUS server before timing out the connection. 10. Enter the number of times for the IVE to try to make a connection after the first attempt fails. 11. Select the Users authenticate using tokens or one-time passwords checkbox if you do not want to submit the password entered by the user to other SSOenabled applications. You should generally select this option if the users submit one-time use passwords to the IVE. For more information, see Multiple sign-in credentials overview on page 193. 12. In the Backup Server section, enter a secondary RADIUS server for the IVE to use if the primary serverthe one defined in this instanceis unreachable. For the secondary server, enter the server: a. Name or IP address

b. Authentication port c. Shared secret

d. Accounting port 13. If you want to track IVE user activity using this instance of the RADIUS server, enter the following information in the Radius Accounting section: a. In the NAS-Identifier field, enter the name that identifies the IVE Network Access Server (NAS) client that communicates with the RADIUS server. If you leave this field empty, the IVE uses the value specified in the Hostname field of the System > Network > Overview page of the admin console. If no value is specified in Hostname field, the IVE uses the value Juniper IVE.

b. In the User-Name field, specify the user information that the IVE should send to the RADIUS accounting server. You may enter any of the applicable session variables described in System variables and examples on page 860. Applicable variables include those that are set at the time after the user signs in and maps to a role. The default variables for this field are:
<username> logs the users IVE username to the accounting server. <REALM> logs the users IVE realm to the accounting server. <ROLE> logs the users IVE role to the accounting server. If the user is assigned to more than one role, the IVE comma-separates them.

c.

Add an Interim Update Level (in minutes). The interim update level enables you to accomplish more precise billing for long-lived session clients and in case of a network failure. For more information, see Understanding the interim update feature on page 133.

14. Add a custom challenge expression (optional). Three types of challenge expressions exist with each automatically set to its pre-populated default. The custom option allows the administrator to configure the actual string pattern to match for any of the three modes. To add a custom expression, select the Custom radio button under the appropriate challenge expression type, and add a custom expression in the associated text box.
NOTE: When using CASQUE authentication, specify:([0-9a-zA-Z/+=]+): as the

custom expression for the Generic Login Challenge Expression. 15. Click Save Changes. If you are creating the server instance for the first time, the Settings and Users tabs appear. 16. Specify which realms should use the server to authenticate, authorize, or account for administrators and users. For more information, see Defining authentication policies on page 168.
NOTE: For information about monitoring and deleting the sessions of users from this server who are currently signed, see Monitoring active users on page 686.

Configuring the RADIUS server to recognize the IVE

You need to configure the RADIUS server to recognize the IVE by specifying: The host name given to the IVE. The network IP address of the IVE. The IVE client typeif applicable. If this option is available, select Single Transaction Server or its equivalent. The type of encryption to use for authenticating client communication. This choice should correspond to the client type.

Enabling RADIUS accounting

You can configure the IVE to send session start and stop messages to a RADIUS accounting server. The IVE recognizes two categories of sessionsuser-sessions and sub-sessions. A user session may contain multiple sub-sessions. The IVE recognizes the following types of sub-sessions: JSAM WSAM Network Connect The IVE sends a user-session start message after the user successfully signs in and the IVE maps him to a role. The IVE sends a sub-session start message when the sub-session becomes active; for example, after launching JSAM. The IVE sends a sub-session stop message when there is an explicit request from the user to terminate a sub-session, or if the user-session terminates. Whenever a user session terminates, the IVE sends a user-session stop message to the accounting server. A user session terminates whenever the user: Manually signs out of the IVE Times out of the IVE either due to inactivity or because of exceeding the maximum session length Is denied access due to Host Checker or Cache Cleaner role-level restrictions Is manually forced out of the IVE by an administrator or due to dynamic policy evaluation. The IVE also sends stop messages for all active sub-sessions. The stop-messages for the sub-sessions precede the stop-messages for the user-session. .
NOTE: If users are signed into an IVE cluster, the RADIUS accounting messages may show the users signing in to one node and signing out of another.

The following three tables describe the attributes that are common to start and stop messages, attributes that are unique to start messages, and attributes that are unique to stop messages.

To distinguish between a user-session and the sub-sessions it contains, examine the Acct-Session-Id and the Acct-Multi-Session-Id. In a user-session, both of these attributes are the same. In a sub-session, the Acct-Multi-Session-Id is the same as the one for the parent user-session, and the IVE indicates the sub-session by using one of the following suffixes in the Acct-Session-Id: JSAM for JSAM sessions WSAM for WSAM sessions NC for Network Connect sessions

Understanding clustering issues

Accounting messages are sent to the RADIUS server by each cluster node without consolidation. RADIUS accounting on the IVE follows these assumptions: If the cluster is active/passive, all users are connected to one node at a time. If the cluster is active/active and does not use a balancer, users are connected to different nodes but are static. If the cluster is active/active and uses a balancer, the balancer usually enforces a persistent source IP. In this case, users are always connected to the same node. The IVE does not support load balancing for RADIUS.

Understanding the interim update feature

If you want a server to receive interim accounting messages, you can statically configure an interim value on the client, in which case, the locally-configured value overrides any value that might be included in the RADIUS Access-Accept message. The octet count reported in the accounting messages is the cumulative total since the beginning of the user session. The interim update byte count is only supported based on a user session, not on SAM or NC sessions.

Configuring an eTrust SiteMinder server instance

When you configure the IVE to authenticate users with an eTrust SiteMinder policy server, the IVE passes the users credentials to SiteMinder during authentication. Once SiteMinder receives the credentials, it may use standard username and password authentication, ACE SecurID tokens, or client-side certificates to authenticate the credentials (as explained in Authentication using various authentication schemes on page 136).

Configuring an eTrust SiteMinder server instance

133

Juniper Networks Secure Access Administration Guide

The IVE also passes a protected resource to SiteMinder during authentication in order to determine which SiteMinder realm it should use to authenticate the user. When the IVE passes the protected resource, SiteMinder authorizes the users URL against the realm that is associated with the resource and allows the user to seamlessly access any resources whose protection levels are equal to or less than the resource the IVE passed (as explained in Configuring the IVE to grant users different protected resources on page 145). If the user attempts to access a Web resource with a higher protection level, either SiteMinder or the IVE handles the request (as explained in Reauthentication of users with insufficient protection levels on page 137). This topic includes the following information about eTrust SiteMinder servers: eTrust SiteMinder overview on page 134 Configuring SiteMinder to work with the IVE on page 138 Configuring the IVE to work with SiteMinder on page 144

eTrust SiteMinder overview

The IVE enables single sign-on (SSO) from the IVE to SiteMinder-protected resources using SMSESSION cookies. A SMSESSION cookie is a security token that encapsulates SiteMinder session information. Depending on your configuration, either the SiteMinder Web agent or the IVE creates a SMSESSION cookie and then posts the cookie to the following locations so the user does not have to reauthenticate if he wants to access additional resources: The IVE: If the user tries to access a SiteMinder resource from within his IVE session (for example, from the IVE file browsing page), the IVE passes its cached SMSESSION cookie to the Web agent for authentication. The users Web browser: If the user tries to access a SiteMinder resource from outside of his IVE session (for example, when using a protected resource on a standard agent), SiteMinder uses the cached SMSESSION cookie stored in the users Web browser to authenticate/authorize the user. If you enable the Automatic Sign-In option (as explained in Automatic Sign-In on page 148), the IVE can use an SMSESSION cookie generated by another agent to enable single sign-on from a SiteMinder resource to the IVE. When a user accesses the IVE sign-in page with an SMSESSION cookie, the IVE verifies the SMSESSION cookie. Upon successful verification, the IVE establishes an IVE session for the user. You can use the following authentication mechanisms when you enable automatic sign-in through the IVE: Custom agent: The IVE authenticates the user against the policy server and generates a SMSESSION cookie. When you select this option, you can enable SSO on other SiteMinder agents that use the same policy server. To enable SSO on these agents, update each of them to accept third party cookies (as explained in Authenticate using custom agent on page 149). If you select this option and the user enters his IVE session with an SMSESSION cookie, the IVE attempts automatic sign-in when the user enters the IVE session.

134

Configuring an eTrust SiteMinder server instance

Chapter 7: Authentication and directory servers

HTML form post: The IVE posts credentials to a standard Web agent that you have already configured. The Web agent then creates SMSESSION cookies. If you select this option, you cannot use SecurID New Pin and Next Token modes or client-side certificate authentication (as explained in on Authenticate using HTML form post on page 150). If you select this option and the user enters his IVE session with an SMSESSION cookie, the IVE attempts automatic sign-in when the user enters the IVE session. Delegated authentication: The IVE delegates authentication to a standard agent. If this option is enabled, the IVE tries to determine the FCC URL associated with the protected resource. The IVE then redirects the user to the FCC URL with the IVE sign-in URL as the TARGET. Upon successful authentication, the user is redirected back to the IVE with an SMSESSION cookie and the IVE does an automatic sign-in for the user (as explained in Delegate authentication to a standard agent on page 151).

NOTE:

At the time of this printing, Juniper Networks supports eTrust SiteMinder server version 6.0 and version 5.5 with standard agent versions 6 and 5QMR5. If you run older agents than the supported agents, you may experience cookie validation problems, including crossed log entries and intermittent user timeouts. You can choose which eTrust SiteMinder server version you want to support when you create a server instance. You can choose version 5.5, which supports both versions 5.5 and 6.0, or you can choose version 6.0, which supports only version 6.0. SiteMinder does not store the IP address in the SMSESSION cookie, and therefore cannot pass it to the IVE appliance. SiteMinder sends the SMSESSION cookie to the IVE as a persistent cookie. To maximize security, the IVE resets the persistent cookie as a session cookie once authentication is complete. When you use SiteMinder to authenticate, the IVE disregards any IVE session and idle timeouts and uses session and idle timeouts set through the SiteMinder realm instead. The IVE logs any SiteMinder error codes on the System > Log/Monitoring > User Access page. For information on the SiteMinder error codes, see the SiteMinder documentation.

Within SiteMinder, an authentication scheme is a way to collect user credentials and determine the identity of a user. You may create different authentication schemes and associate different protection levels with each. For example, you may create two schemesone that authenticates users based solely on the users client-side certificates and provides them a low protection level, and a second that uses ACE SecurID token authentication and provides users a higher protection level. The IVE works with the following types of SiteMinder authentication schemes: Basic username and password authenticationThe users name and password are passed to the SiteMinder policy server. The policy server may then authenticate them itself or pass it to another server for authentication. ACE SecurID token authenticationThe SiteMinder policy server authenticates users based on a username and password generated by an ACE SecurID token. Client-side certificate authenticationThe SiteMinder policy server authenticates users based on their client-side certificate credentials. If you choose this authentication method, the Web browser displays a list of client certificates from which users can select.
NOTE:

If you choose to authenticate users with this method, you must import the client certificate into the IVE through the System > Certificates > Trusted Client CAs tab. For more information, see Using trusted client CAs on page 607. If you do not want to display the standard IVE sign in page to users, you may change it using the customizable sign-in pages feature. For more information, see the Custom Sign-In Pages Solution Guide. SiteMinder client-side certificate authentication is separate from IVE clientside certificate authentication. If you choose both, the IVE first authenticates using the IVE configuration parameters. If this succeeds, it then passes certificate values to SiteMinder for authentication. For configuration information, see: Creating a SiteMinder authentication scheme for the IVE on page 139 Configuring the IVE to work with multiple authentication schemes on page 144

Reauthentication of users with insufficient protection levels

During IVE configuration, you must specify a protected resource in order to control the protection level allowed in the users SiteMinder session, as explained in eTrust SiteMinder overview on page 134. If a user attempts to access a Web resource that requires a higher protection level than he is authorized to access, however, the IVE can also handle re-authentication by directing him to an intermediate page (provided you have enabled the Resource for insufficient protection level option on during IVE configuration). For more information, see Resource for insufficient protection level on page 152. The IVE intermediate page contains two options: ContinueWhen the user selects this option, the IVE signs him out of his current session, prompts him for the credentials required by the higher level resource, and directs him to the page he is trying to access if his credentials authenticate. (Note that if the user is running Host Checker or Cache Cleaner and does not choose to enter his credentials when the IVE prompts him to reauthenticate, the Host Checker and/or Cache Cleaner application continues to run on the users system until his IVE session times out.) CancelWhen the user selects this option, he is redirected to the previous page. Otherwise, if you choose not to re-authenticate through the IVE, the reauthentication process is dependent on whether or not the policy server returns an authentication scheme URL to the user. If the policy server: Does not return an authentication scheme URLThe IVE returns a validation failure message to the user and re-authenticates through the standard IVE signin page. The user is prompted to sign back in, but is assigned his original protection level and may still be unable to sign in to the desired page. Returns an authentication scheme URLThe IVE redirects to the Web agent you specify in the IVE to handle re-authentication. For information about making the IVE handle re-authentication, see Creating a SiteMinder authentication scheme for the IVE on page 139.

Determining the users username

With the availability of different authentication schemes and sign-in points, the IVE may obtain a username from various sources, such as a policy server header, certificate attribute, or from the IVE sign-in page. Listed below are the various methods a user may employ to access the IVE and how the IVE determines the username for each. When a user: Signs in through the standard IVE sign-in pageThe IVE first checks the username that the policy server returned in its OnAuthAccept response header. If SiteMinder does not define a username, the IVE uses the name that the user entered during sign-in. Otherwise, if neither SiteMinder nor the user provide a username because the user authenticates using a client certificate, the IVE uses the UserDN value set by the policy server.

Configuring an eTrust SiteMinder server instance

137

Juniper Networks Secure Access Administration Guide

Automatically signs in to the IVE using SiteMinder credentialsThe IVE first checks the username that the policy server returned in its OnAuthAccept response header. If SiteMinder does not define a username, the IVE checks the SMSESSION cookie. Otherwise, if SiteMinder does not populate the response header or SMSESSION cookie with a username, the IVE checks the UserDN value in the SMSESSION cookie. Once the IVE determines which username to use, it saves it in its session cache and references it when a user wants to access additional resources (as explained in eTrust SiteMinder overview on page 134). In order to consistently return the correct username to the IVE, you should configure the OnAuthAccept response on the SiteMinder policy server, as explained in Creating a rule/response pair to pass usernames to the IVE on page 142.

Configuring SiteMinder to work with the IVE

The following procedures outline how to configure a SiteMinder policy server to work with the IVE. These are not complete SiteMinder configuration instructions they are only intended to help you make SiteMinder work with the IVE.

Chapter 7: Authentication and directory servers

Configuring the SiteMinder agent

A SiteMinder agent filters user requests to enforce access controls. For instance, when a user requests a protected resource, the agent prompts the user for credentials based on an authentication scheme, and sends the credentials to a SiteMinder policy server. A Web agent is simply an agent that works with a Web server. When configuring SiteMinder to work with the IVE, you must configure the IVE as a Web agent in most cases.
NOTE: If you select the Delegate authentication to a standard agent option, you must set the following options in the agent configuration object of the standard Web agent host the FCC URL: EncryptAgentName=no FCCCompatMode=no

To configure the IVE as a Web agent on the SiteMinder policy server: 1. In the SiteMinder Administration interface, choose the System tab. 2. Right-click on Agents and choose Create Agent. 3. Enter a name for the Web agent and (optionally) a description. Note that you need to enter this name when creating a SiteMinder realm, (as explained in Creating a SiteMinder realm for the IVE on page 141) and when configuring the IVE (as explained in Agent Name, Secret on page 147). 4. You must select the Support 5.x agents option for compatibility with the IVE. 5. Under Agent Type, select SiteMinder and then select Web Agent from the drop-down list. You must select this setting for compatibility with the IVE. 6. Under IP Address or Host Name, enter the name or IP address of the IVE. 7. In the Shared Secret fields, enter and confirm a secret for the Web agent. Note that you need to enter this secret when configuring the IVE (as explained in Agent Name, Secret on page 147). 8. Click OK.

Creating a SiteMinder authentication scheme for the IVE

Within SiteMinder, an authentication scheme provides a way to collect credentials and determine the identity of a user. To configure a SiteMinder authentication scheme for the IVE: 1. In the SiteMinder Administration interface, choose the System tab. 2. Right-click on Authentication Schemes and choose Create Authentication Scheme.

Configuring an eTrust SiteMinder server instance

139

Juniper Networks Secure Access Administration Guide

3. Enter a name for the scheme and (optionally) a description. Note that you need to enter this name when configuring the SiteMinder realm (as explained in Creating a SiteMinder realm for the IVE on page 141). 4. Under Authentication Scheme Type, select one of the following options: Basic Template HTML Form Template SecurID HTML Form Template1 X509 Client Cert Template X509 Client Cert and Basic Authentication
NOTE:

The IVE only supports the authentication scheme types listed here. You must select HTML Form Template if you want the IVE to handle reauthentication (as described in Reauthentication of users with insufficient protection levels on page 137). If you select X509 Client Cert Template or X509 Client Cert and Basic Authentication, you must import the certificate into the IVE through the System > Certificates > Trusted Client CAs tab. For more information, see Using trusted client CAs on page 607. 5. Enter a protection level for the scheme. Note that this protection level carries over to the SiteMinder realm that you associate with this scheme. For more information, see Creating a SiteMinder realm for the IVE on page 141. 6. Select the Password Policies Enabled for this Authentication Scheme if you want to reauthenticate users who request resources with a higher protection level than they are authorized to access. 7. In the Scheme Setup tab, enter the options required by your authentication scheme type. If you want the IVE to re-authenticate users who request resources with a higher protection level than they are authorized to access, you must enter the following settings: Under Server Name, enter the IVE host name (for example, sales.yourcompany.net). Select the Use SSL Connection checkbox.

1. If you are using SecurID authentication, you must choose SecurID HTML Form Template (instead of SecurID Template). Choosing this option enables the Policy Server to send ACE sign-in failure codes to the IVE.

Chapter 7: Authentication and directory servers

Under Target, enter the IVE sign-in URL defined in this steps first bullet plus the parameter ive=1 (for example, /highproturl?ive=1). (The IVE must have a sign-in policy that uses */highproturl as the sign-in URL and only uses the corresponding SiteMinder authentication realm.)
NOTE: When you save changes, ive=1 disappears from the target. This is OK. The policy server includes ive=1 in the full authentication scheme URL that it sends to the IVE, as you can see in the in the Parameter field of the Advanced tab.

De-select the Allow Form Authentication Scheme to Save Credentials checkbox. Leave Additional Attribute List empty. 8. Click OK.
NOTE:

If you change a SiteMinder authentication scheme on the policy server, you must flush the cache using the Flush Cache option on the Advanced tab. For information about configuring the IVE to handle multiple authentication schemes, see Configuring the IVE to work with multiple authentication schemes on page 144.

Creating a SiteMinder domain for the IVE

Within SiteMinder, a policy domain is a logical grouping of resources associated with one or more user directories. Policy domains contain realms, responses, and policies. When configuring the IVE to work with SiteMinder, you must give IVE users access to a SiteMinder resource within a realm, and then group the realm into a domain. To configure a SiteMinder domain for the IVE, in the SiteMinder Administration interface, choose the System tab, right-click on Domains and choose Create Domain. Or, click on Domains and choose an existing SiteMinder domain. Note that you need to add a realm to this domain (as explained in Creating a SiteMinder realm for the IVE on page 141).

Creating a SiteMinder realm for the IVE

Within SiteMinder, a realm is a cluster of resources within a policy domain grouped together according to security requirements. When configuring SiteMinder to work with the IVE, you must define realms to determine which resources IVE users may access. To configure a SiteMinder realm for the IVE: 1. In the SiteMinder Administration interface, choose the Domains tab. 2. Expand the domain that you created for the IVE. For more information, see Creating a SiteMinder domain for the IVE on page 141.

3. Right-click on Realms and choose Create Realm. 4. Enter a name and (optionally) description for the realm. 5. In the Agent field, select the Web agent that you created for the IVE. For more information, see Configuring the SiteMinder agent on page 139. 6. In the Resource Filter field, enter a protected resource. This resource inherits the protection level specified in the corresponding authentication scheme. For the default protection level, enter /ive-authentication. Note that you need to enter this resource when configuring the IVE (as explained in Protected Resource on page 147). Or, if you use sign-in policies with non-default URLs such as */nete or */cert, you must have corresponding resource filters in the SiteMinder configuration. 7. From the Authentication Schemes list, select the scheme that you created for the IVE (as explained in Creating a SiteMinder authentication scheme for the IVE on page 139). 8. Click OK.

Creating a rule/response pair to pass usernames to the IVE

Within SiteMinder, you can use rules to trigger responses when authentication or authorization events take place. A response passes DN attributes, static text, or customized active responses from the SiteMinder policy server to a SiteMinder agent. When you configure SiteMinder to work with the IVE, you must create a rule that fires when a user successfully authenticates. Then, you must create a corresponding response that passes the users username to the IVE Web agent. To create a new rule: 1. In the SiteMinder Administration interface, choose the Domains tab. 2. Expand the domain that you created for the IVE (as explained in Creating a SiteMinder domain for the IVE on page 141) and then expand Realms. 3. Right-click on the realm that you created for the IVE (as explained in Creating a SiteMinder realm for the IVE on page 141) and choose Create Rule under Realm. 4. Enter a name and (optionally) description for the rule. 5. Under Action, choose Authentication Events and then select OnAuthAccept from the drop-down list. 6. Select Enabled. 7. Click OK. To create a new response: 1. In the SiteMinder Administration interface, choose the Domains tab.

2. Expand the domain that you created for the IVE (as explained in Creating a SiteMinder domain for the IVE on page 141). 3. Right-click on Responses and select Create Response. 4. Enter a name and (optionally) a description for the response. 5. Select SiteMinder and then select the IVE Web agent (as explained in Configuring the SiteMinder agent on page 139). 6. Click Create. 7. From the Attribute list, select WebAgent-HTTP-Header-Variable. 8. Under Attribute Kind, select Static. 9. Under Variable Name, enter IVEUSERNAME. 10. Under Variable Value, enter a user name. 11. Click OK.

Creating SiteMinder user attributes for IVE role mapping

If you create SiteMinder user attributes on a SiteMinder policy server, you can use those user attributes in IVE role mapping rules to map users to roles. For example, you might want to map users to various IVE roles based on their department. To use a SiteMinder user attribute in a role mapping rule, you reference the cookie name contained in the SiteMinder user attribute cookie. The following procedure is required only if you want to use SiteMinder user attributes in IVE role mapping rules. To create user attributes on a SiteMinder server: 1. In the SiteMinder Administration interface, choose the Domains tab. 2. Expand the domain that you created for the IVE (as explained in Creating a SiteMinder domain for the IVE on page 141). 3. Right-click on Responses and select Create Response. 4. Enter a name and (optionally) a description for the response. 5. Select SiteMinder and then select the IVE Web agent (as explained in Configuring the SiteMinder agent on page 139). 6. Click Create. 7. From the Attribute list, select WebAgent-HTTP-Cookie-Variable. 8. Under Attribute Kind, select User Attribute. 9. For Cookie Name, enter a name for the cookie, such as department. You can reference this cookie name in an IVE role mapping rule.

10. For Attribute Name, enter the name of the attribute in the SiteMinder user directory. (This refers to the attribute in the LDAP server that SiteMinder uses.) 11. Click OK. 12. Assign the User Attribute response to an OnAuthAccept type rule. (See Creating a rule/response pair to pass usernames to the IVE on page 142.) 13. Reference the cookie name in a role mapping rule for an IVE realm that uses the SiteMinder policy server. For instructions, see Using SiteMinder user attributes for IVE role mapping on page 154.

Creating a SiteMinder policy under the domain

Within SiteMinder, a policy associates users with rules. To configure a SiteMinder policy under a domain, in the SiteMinder Administration interface, choose the Domains tab, select the domain to which you want to add a policy, right-click on Policies, and choose Create Policy.

Configuring the IVE to work with multiple authentication schemes

To configure the IVE to work with multiple SiteMinder authentication schemes, you must: 1. Configure the authentication schemes on the SiteMinder policy server. For instructions, see Creating a SiteMinder authentication scheme for the IVE on page 139. 2. Create one IVE instance of the SiteMinder policy server for all SiteMinder authentication schemes you want to use. For instructions, see Defining an eTrust SiteMinder server instance on page 146. 3. Specify which IVE realm should use the IVE instance of the SiteMinder policy server to authenticate and authorize administrators and users. For instructions, see Creating an authentication realm on page 166.

144

Configuring an eTrust SiteMinder server instance

Chapter 7: Authentication and directory servers

4. For each protected resource on the SiteMinder policy server, create an IVE signin policy. In the Authentication > Authentication > Signing In Policies > New Sign-In Policy page: Specify an IVE sign-in URL that matches the SiteMinder protected resource URL on the policy server. Make the path portion of the URL match the SiteMinder resource filter in the SiteMinder realm configuration. For example, you can specify */ACE/ as an IVE sign-in URL to match a SiteMinder URL of XYZ/ACE, where XYZ is the name of a realm. Select the IVE realm that you specified should use the SiteMinder policy server. For instructions, see Configuring sign-in policies on page 183. The user signs into the IVE using one of the IVE sign-in URLs. The IVE sends the protected resource URL to SiteMinder, and based on the resource, SiteMinder determines which type of scheme to use to authenticate the user. The IVE collects the credentials that the authentication scheme requires, and then passes them to SiteMinder for authentication.

Configuring the IVE to grant users different protected resources

To configure the IVE to grant users access to various SiteMinder protected resources (and by association, different protection levels), you must: 1. Define which resources the SiteMinder server should protect. Each of these resources inherits a protection level from a corresponding SiteMinder authentication scheme. For instructions, see Creating a SiteMinder realm for the IVE on page 141. 2. Create one IVE instance of the SiteMinder policy server for all protected resources and corresponding protection levels that you want to allow. For instructions, see Defining an eTrust SiteMinder server instance on page 146. 3. Specify which IVE realm should use the IVE instance of the SiteMinder policy server. For instructions, see Creating an authentication realm on page 166. 4. For each resource on the SiteMinder policy server, create an IVE sign-in policy for each realm-level resource filter. In the configuration page for the sign-in policy, specify: An IVE sign-in URL that matches the protected resource URL on the policy server. Make the path portion of the URL match the SiteMinder resource filter. For example, you may define the following URLs:
https://employees.yourcompany.com/sales https://employees.yourcompany.com/engineering

When users sign into the first URL, they can access the sales protected resource, and when they sign into the second URL, they can access the engineering protected resource. To define a default resource (ive-authentication), enter * in the path portion of the URL.

Juniper Networks Secure Access Administration Guide

Select the IVE realm that you specified should use the SiteMinder policy server. For instructions, seeConfiguring sign-in policies on page 183. During production, the user signs into the IVE using one of the URLs. The IVE extracts the protected resource from the URL and authenticates the user against the appropriate realm.

Defining an eTrust SiteMinder server instance

Within the IVE, a SiteMinder instance is a set of configuration settings that defines how the IVE interacts with the SiteMinder policy server. After defining the SiteMinder server instance, specify which IVE realm(s) should use the IVE instance of the SiteMinder policy server to authenticate and authorize administrators and users. For instructions, see Creating an authentication realm on page 166. To define an eTrust SiteMinder server instance: 1. In the admin console, choose Authentication > Auth. Servers. 2. Do one of the following: To create a new server instance on the IVE, select SiteMinder Server from the New list, and then click New Server. To update an existing server instance, click the appropriate link in the Authentication/Authorization Servers list. 3. Configure the server using the settings described in Table 13. 4. To add SiteMinder user attributes to the SiteMinder server instance: a. Click Server Catalog to display the server catalog.

b. Enter the SiteMinder user attribute cookie name in the Attribute field in the server catalog and then click Add Attribute. (For information on SiteMinder user attribute cookies, see Creating SiteMinder user attributes for IVE role mapping on page 143.) c. When you are finished adding cookie names, click OK. The IVE displays the names of the SiteMinder user attribute cookies in the Attribute list on the Role Mapping Rule page. For configuration instructions, see Using SiteMinder user attributes for IVE role mapping on page 154.

5. Click Save Changes. 6. Set advanced SiteMinder configuration options (optional) using the settings described in Table 14.
NOTE: For information on monitoring and deleting the sessions of users who are currently signed in through the server, see Monitoring active users on page 686.

Version 5.5 supports versions 5.5 and 6.0. Version 6.0 supports only version 6.0 of the SiteMinder server API. The default value is 5.5 policy servers.

On logout, redirect to Specify a URL to which users are redirected when they sign out of the IVE (optional). If you leave this field empty, users see the default IVE sign-in page. Note: The On logout, redirect to field is included in the product release for backwards-compatibility, but is scheduled for discontinuance. If you want to redirect users to a different sign-in page when they sign out, we strongly recommend that you use the customizable sign-in pages feature instead. For more information, see the Custom Sign-In Pages Solution Guide. Protected Resource Specify a default protected resource specified in Creating a SiteMinder realm for the IVE on page 141. If you do not create sign-in policies for SiteMinder, the IVE uses this default URL to set the users protection level for the session. The IVE also uses this default URL if you select the Automatic Sign-In option. If your users are signing in to the * URL (default IVE sign-in page), enter any URL (/IVE-authentication is the default) to set the protection level to the default IVE value. If you do create sign-in policies for SiteMinder, the IVE uses those sign-in policies instead of this default URL. Note: You must enter a forward slash (/) at the beginning of the resource (for example, /ive-authentication). Resource Action (Read-only) For new SiteMinder server instances, the IVE sets the resource action to GET. If your SiteMinder instance is upgraded from a 3.x instance, the IVE uses the resource action (for example, GET, POST, or PUT) that you previously chose. Note that to change an existing resource action to GET, you must delete the old SiteMinder server instance and then create a new instance that uses GET.

Enter the Internet domain(s) to which the IVE sends the SMSESSION cookie using the same guidelines outlined for the Cookie Domain field. (An IVE cookie domain enables single sign-on across multiple cookie domains. It allows a users information to carry with him when he navigates from one domain to another.) If you have configured a cookie provider to enable single sign-on across multiple cookie domains, enter the domain of the cookie provider. Otherwise, enter the domain(s) of the Web agents for which single sign-on is desired. For example:

Choose HTTPS to send cookies securely if other Web agents are set up to accept secure cookies, or HTTP to send cookies non-securely.

SiteMinder authentication settings

Automatic Sign-In Select the Automatic Sign-In option to automatically sign in users who have a valid SMSESSION cookie in to the IVE. Then, select the authentication realm to which the users are mapped. If you select this option, note that: If the protection level associated with a users SMSESSION cookie is different from the protection level of the IVE realm, the IVE uses the protection level associated with the cookie. In order to enable single sign-on from another Web agent to the IVE, the IVE needs to validate an existing SMSESSION cookie created by a standard Web agent. The IVE supports the following realm and role limitations with the Automatic Sign-in feature: Host Checker, Cache Cleaner, IP address, browser, and concurrent user limit checks. Certificate and password restrictions are not supported since they are not applicable to automatically signed-in users. The IVE does not support the Automatic Sign in feature for administrator roles. This feature is only available for end-users. When you select the Automatic Sign-In option, you must also configure the following sub-options:

Table 13: eTrust SiteMinder configuration options (Continued) Option Description

To assign user roles, use this authentication realm Select an authentication realm for automatically signed-in users. The IVE maps the user to a role based on the role mapping rules defined in the selected realm. Note: If you map users to roles based on username, see Determining the users username on page 137 for information about which username the IVE uses. If Automatic Sign In fails, redirect to Enter an alternative URL for users who sign into the IVE through the Automatic Sign-In mechanism explained in Automatic Sign-In on page 148. The IVE redirects users to the specified URL if the IVE fails to authenticate and no redirect response is received from the SiteMinder policy server. If you leave this field empty, users are prompted to sign back in to the IVE. Note: Users who sign in through the IVE sign-in page are always redirected back to the IVE sign-in page if authentication fails. If you are using the customizable UI (Custom Pages) option explained in the Custom Sign-In Pages Solution Guide. note that the IVE redirects to welcome.cgi in two different cases. You must account for both of these special cases in your custom page: Session and idle timeouts: /dana-na/auth/welcome.cgi?p=timedout Failed cookie validation: /dana-na/auth/welcome.cgi?p=failed Authenticate using custom agent Choose this option if you want to authenticate using the IVE custom Web agent. Note that if you select this option, you must also: Update all of your standard Web agents to the appropriate Siteminder Agent Quarterly Maintenance Release (QMR) in order to accept the cookies created by the IVE. If you are running SiteMinder version 5 Web agents, use the QMR5 hot fix. The IVE is compatible with version 5.x and later SiteMinder agents. Older versions of SiteMinder agents are susceptible to cookie validation failures. Set the Accept Third Party Cookie attribute (AcceptTPCookie) to yes in the Web agents configuration file (webagent.conf) or to 1 in the Windows Registry for the IIS Web server. The location of the attribute depends on the SiteMinder version and Web server you are using. For more information, please refer to the documentation provided with your SiteMinder server.

Authenticate using HTML form post

Description
Choose this option if you want to post user credentials to a standard Web agent that you have already configured rather than contacting the SiteMinder policy server directly. If you select this option, the Web agent contacts the policy server to determine the appropriate sign-in page to display to the user. In order to configure the IVE to act like a browser that posts credentials to the standard Web agent, you must enter the information defined below. The easiest way to find this information is to: 1. Open a Web browser and enter the URL of the standard web agent that you want to use. For example, http://webagent.juniper.net 2. Note the URL of the SiteMinder sign-in page that appears. For example: http://webagent.juniper.net/siteminderagent/forms/login.fcc?TYPE= 33554433&REALMOID=06-2525fa65-5a7f-11d5-9ee00003471b786c&GUID=&SMAUTHREASON=0&TARGET=$SM$http %3a%2f%2fwebagent%2ejuniper%2enet%2fportal%2findex%2ejs p 3. Extract information from the URL to enter in the fields that follow. Note: You cannot use SecurID New Pin and Next Token modes, client-side certificate authentication, or SNMP traps with the Authenticate using HTML form post option. The Authorize While Authenticating option is not applicable with the HTML form post option. You can authenticate users using this option, but if you want to authorize them as well, you must select Authenticate using custom agent. When you select the Authenticate using HTML form post option, you must also configure the following sub-options: Target URL on the external, eTrust-enabled Web server. In the Web agent sign-in page URL, the target appears after &TARGET=$SM$. For example, in the URL shown in Authenticate using HTML form post on page 150, the target is:
http%3a%2f%2fwebagent%2ejuniper%2enet%2fportal%2findex%2ejsp

After converting special characters (%3a=colon, %2f=backslash,

%2e=period), the final target is:

http://webagent.juniper.net/portal/index.jsp

Protocol Protocol for communication between IVE and the specified Web agent. Use HTTP for non-secure communication or HTTPS for secure communication. In the Web agent sign-in page URL, the protocol appears first. For example, in the URL shown in Authenticate using HTML form post on page 150, the protocol is HTTP.

Web Agent Name of the Web agent from which the IVE is to obtain SMSESSION cookies. An IP address is not allowed for this field. (Specifying the IP address as the Web agent prevents some browsers from accepting cookies.) In the Web agent sign-in page URL, the Web agent appears after the protocol. For example, in the URL shown above in Authenticate using HTML form post on page 150, the Web agent is:
webagent.juniper.net

Port Port 80 for HTTP or port 443 for HTTPS. Path Path of the Web agents sign-in page. Note that the path must start with a backslash (/) character. In the Web agent sign-in page URL, the path appears after the Web agent. For example, in the URL shown in Authenticate using HTML form post on page 150, the path is: /siteminderagent/forms/login.fcc Parameters Post parameters to be sent when a user signs in. Common SiteMinder variables that you can use include _ _USER_ _, _ _PASS_ _, and _ _TARGET_ _. These variables are replaced by the username and password entered by the user on the Web agents sign-in page and by the value specified in the Target field. These are the default parameters for login.fccif you have made customizations, you may need to change these parameters. Delegate authentication to a standard agent Choose this option if you want to delegate authentication to a standard agent. When the user accesses the IVE sign-in page, the IVE determines the FCC URL associated with the protected resources authentication scheme. The IVE redirects the user to that URL, setting the IVE sign-in URL as the target. After successfully authenticating with the standard agent, an SMSESSION cookie is set in the users browser and he is redirected back to the IVE. The IVE then automatically signs in the user and establishes an IVE session. For information about configuring the authentication scheme, see Creating a SiteMinder authentication scheme for the IVE on page 139. NOTE: You must enable the Automatic Sign-In option in order to use this feature. If you enable this option and a user already has a valid SMSESSION cookie when he tries to access a resource, the IVE tries to automatically sign in using the existing SMSESSION cookie. If the cookie is invalid, the IVE clears the SMSESSION cookie and corresponding IVE cookies and presents the user with a timeout page. The IVE successfully delegates authentication when the user clicks the sign back in option. If you select this option, your authentication scheme must have an associated FCC URL.

Authorize requests against SiteMinder policy server

Description
Select to use SiteMinder policy server rules to authorize user Web resource requests. If you select this option, make sure that you create the appropriate rules in SiteMinder that start with the server name followed by a forward slash, such as: "www.yahoo.com/", "www.yahoo.com/*", and "www.yahoo.com/r/f1". For more information, please refer to the documentation provided with your SiteMinder server. Enter an alternative URL that users are redirected to if the IVE fails to authorize and no redirect response is received from the SiteMinder policy server. If you leave this field empty, users are prompted to sign back in to the IVE. Enter a resource on the Web agent to which the IVE redirects users when they do not have the appropriate permission. When user accesses a resource with protection level higher than the one in his SMSESSION cookie, he gets a secured sign-in page. Then after he re-authenticates, he obtains a SMSESSION cookie with the higher protection level and gets redirected to a Web page. The type of web page IVE displays depends on which method you use to re-authenticate users*: A standard Web agent with "FCCCompatMode = yes" If you set your Web agents forms credential collector (FCC)** compatibility mode to yes, users are redirected to page you specify in the Resource for insufficient protection level field. Note: - You must redirect users to a page on the standard Web agent. The IVE cannot direct the user to the original resource that he wanted to access. - You do not need to enter the entire URL leading to the resource (for example:
https://sales.yourcompany.com/,DanaInfo=www.stdwebagent.com+inde x.html)you only need to enter the resource (index.html).

If authorization fails, redirect to

Resource for insufficient protection level

A standard Web agent with "FCCCompatMode = no" If you set your Web agents forms credential collector (FCC)** compatibility mode to yes, users are redirected to page you specify in the Resource for insufficient protection level field. Or, if you leave this field empty, the user is redirected to the original resource that he wanted to access. The IVE If you re-authenticate users through the IVE, users are redirected to the IVE intermediate page described in Reauthentication of users with insufficient protection levels on page 137. Note that if you want the IVE to redirect the user to the original resource that he wanted to access, you must enable the Browser request follow through option on the Users > User Roles > [Role] > General > Session Options page of the admin console. (If you leave this field empty but do not enable the Browser request follow through option, the IVE redirects the user to the standard IVE users bookmark page.) * For information about specifying a re-authentication method, see Creating a SiteMinder authentication scheme for the IVE on page 139. ** When a user makes a request to a protected resource, SiteMinder routes it to a forms credential collector (FCC) which then invokes a Web form on the policy server to collect credentials.

Ignore authorization for files with extensions

Description
Enter file extensions corresponding to file types that do not require authorization. You must enter the extensions of each file type that you want to ignore, separating each with a comma. For example, enter .gif, .jpeg, .jpg, .bmp to ignore various image types. You cannot use wildcards characters (such *, *.*, or .*) to ignore a range of file types.

Poll Interval Max. Connections Max. Requests/ Connection Idle Timeout

Description
Enter the interval at which IVE polls the Siteminder policy server to check for a new key. Controls the maximum number of simultaneous connections that the IVE is allowed to make to the policy server. The default setting is 20. Controls the maximum number of requests that the policy server connection handles before the IVE ends the connection. If necessary, tune to increase performance. The default setting is 1000. Controls the maximum number of minutes a connection to the policy server may remain idle (the connection is not handling requests) before the IVE ends the connection. The default setting of none indicates no time limit. Specifies that the IVE should look up user attributes on the policy server immediately after authentication to determine if the user is truly authenticated. For example, if your eTrust server authenticates users based on an LDAP server setting, you can select this option to indicate that the IVE should authenticate users through the eTrust server and then authorize them through the LDAP server before granting them access. If the user fails authentication or authorization, he is redirected to the page configured on the policy server. Note: If you do not select this option and you have authorization options setup through the Policy Users > Exclude tab of the policy server configuration utility, a user whom you have denied access may successfully authenticate into the IVE. Not until the user tries to access a protected resource does the IVE check his authorization rights and deny him access. The IVE sends the same resource to the policy server for authorization as for authentication. This option is not supported with the Authenticate using HTML form post option described in Authenticate using HTML form post on page 150 or the Automatic sign-in option described in Automatic Sign-In on page 148.

Authorize while Authenticating

You can eliminate the overhead of verifying a users SMSESSION cookie each time the user requests the same resource by indicating that the IVE should consider the cookie valid for a certain period of time. During Validate cookie every that period, the IVE assumes that its cached cookie is valid rather than re-validating it against the policy server. If you do not select this option, N seconds the IVE checks the users SMSESSION cookie on each request. Note that the value entered here does not affect session or idle timeout checking. Enable Session Grace Period,

Table 14: eTrust SiteMinder advanced configuration options (Continued) Option

Ignore Query Data

Description
By default, when a user requests a resource, the IVE sends the entire URL for that resource to the policy server (including the query parameter, if present). For example, the IVE may send the following URL to the policy server: http://foo/bar?param=value. (Query data appears after the ? character in the URL. Within this URL, param=value represents the query parameter.) The IVE then caches the result of the authorization request for 10 minutes, including the query parameter. If the user then requests the same resource that is specified in the cached URL, the request fails since the query portion of the cached URL does not match the new request. The IVE then has to re-contact the policy server to make a request that includes the new query parameter. If you select the Ignore Query Data option, the IVE does not cache the query parameter in its URLs. Therefore, if a user requests the same resource as is specified in the cached URL, the request should not fail. For example, if you enable the Ignore Query Data option, both of the following URLs are considered the same resource:
http://foo/bar?param=value1 http://foo/bar?param=value2

Enabling this option may improve performance. Accounting Port The value entered in this field must match the accounting port value entered through the Policy Server Management Console. By default, this field matches the policy servers default setting of 44441. The value entered in this field must match the authentication port value entered through the Policy Server Management Console. By default, this field matches the policy servers default setting of 44442. The value entered in this field must match the authorization port value entered through the Policy Server Management Console. By default, this field matches the policy servers default setting of 44443. Use to delete the IVEs resource cache, which caches resource authorization information for 10 minutes.

Using SiteMinder user attributes for IVE role mapping

After you create user attributes on a SiteMinder policy server (see Creating SiteMinder user attributes for IVE role mapping on page 143), you can use them in role mapping rules for a realm that uses the SiteMinder policy server. To use SiteMinder user attributes for IVE role mapping: 1. In the admin console, choose Administrators > Admin Realms or Users > User Realms. 2. On the General tab of the Authentication Realms page for the IVE realm that uses the SiteMinder policy server, choose Same as Above from the Directory/Attribute list. (For instructions, see Creating an authentication realm on page 166.)
NOTE: If you choose LDAP from the Directory/Attribute list instead of Same as Above, you can use both SiteMinder and LDAP attributes in role mapping rules.

154

Configuring an eTrust SiteMinder server instance

Chapter 7: Authentication and directory servers

3. On the IVE Role Mapping tab, create a rule based on IVE user attributes that references a SiteMinder user attribute cookie. For example, to reference a SiteMinder user attribute cookie named department, add department to the list of IVE user attributes on the IVE Role Mapping tab. Then specify a value for the SiteMinder user attribute cookie, such as sales. For instructions, see Creating role mapping rules on page 169. You can also use the following syntax to reference a SiteMinder user attribute cookie in a custom expression for a role mapping rule:
userAttr.<cookie-name>

For example:
userAttr.department = ("sales" and "eng")

Defining a SiteMinder realm for automatic sign-in

SiteMinder Automatic Sign In requires a realm whose authentication server is the SiteMinder server. If you perform an upgrade and you have already defined the Automatic Sign In realm that does not specify the SiteMinder server for authentication, and you have configured the SiteMinder server: The realms do not appear in the SiteMinder realm list under SiteMinder authentication settings in the admin console. The upgrade process creates a new realm called eTrust-Auto-Login-Realm which is based on your existing realm, but which configures the SiteMinder server as its authentication server. To configure the SiteMinder realm on a new installation: 1. Select Authentication > Auth. Servers. 2. Choose SiteMinder from the New list and click New Server. 3. Specify the settings you want, as described in Defining an eTrust SiteMinder server instance on page 146. 4. Click Save Changes. 5. Configure the realm, as described in Creating an authentication realm on page 166, and select the SiteMinder server as the authentication server. 6. Select Authentication > Auth. Servers. 7. Choose the SiteMinder server you defined previously. 8. Under SiteMinder authentication settings, select the Automatic Sign In checkbox. 9. Choose the realm you just configured from the user authentication realm list. 10. Click Save Changes.

Debugging SiteMinder and IVE issues

At some point, you may encounter problems configuring the eTrust SiteMinder server interactions with the IVE. You can use a number of debugging tools to identify and resolve problems: Review the IVE log file. The IVE tracks failures of cookie validation, authorizing requests, and key rollovers. Review the Policy Server Authentication and Authorization log files. Review the Standard Web Agent log file if you have selected the Authentication using HTLM Form POST option. Confirm that the IVE contains the proper suffix that you defined in the Cookie Domain field. If the IVE is not properly addressed, the browser may not forward the correct SMSESSION cookie to the IVE and you may not be able to sign in. You must enter the IVEs FQDN on the browser, not the IVE IP address, otherwise, your login fails. Confirm that the IVE system time is synchronized with the SiteMinder servers system time. If the two system times are too divergent, the timeout settings may not function correctly, rejecting your attempts to sign in. In the SiteMinder server, confirm that you have defined the proper Session Timeout options max timeout and idle in the Siteminder Realm dialog. If you sign in to the IVE and browse to a eTrust-protected Web agent, then reach the eTrust sign-in page instead of the single sign on (SSO) page, check the IVE Cookie Domain value to confirm that the domain matches the domain of the eTrust-protected Web agent. Review the setting for the Send Cookie Securely option. If Send Cookie Securely is set to yes, SSO works only with secure https:// sites. If Send Cookie Securely is set to no, SSO works with both http:// and https:// sites.

Configuring a SAML Server instance

The IVE accepts authentication assertions generated by a SAML authority using either an artifact profile or a POST profile. This feature allows a user to sign in to a source site or portal without going through the IVE first. and then to access the IVE with single sign-on (SSO) through the SAML consumer service. As a result, the user who authenticates elsewhere is able to access resources behind the IVE without signing in again.

156

Configuring a SAML Server instance

Chapter 7: Authentication and directory servers

Using the artifact profile and the POST profile

The two supported profiles provide different methods of accomplishing the same task. The end-users goal is to sign in to all desired resources once, without experiencing multiple sign-in pages for different resources or applications. Although the end-user wants transparency, you, the administrator, want to ensure complete security across the resources on your system, regardless of the servers or sites represented. The artifact profile requires that you construct an automated request-response HTTP message that the browser can retrieve based on an HTTP GET request. For details about this method, see Using the artifact profile scenario on page 157. The POST profile requires that you construct an HTML form that can contain the SAML assertion, and which can be submitted by an end-user action or a script action, using an HTTP POST method. For more details about this method, see Using the POST profile scenario on page 158.

Using the artifact profile scenario

The SAML server generally supports the following artifact profile scenario: 1. The user accesses a source site via a browser. The source site might be a corporate portal using a non-IVE authentication access management system. 2. The source site challenges the user for username and password. 3. The user provides username and password, which the source site authenticates through a call to an LDAP directory or other authentication server. 4. The user then clicks on a link on the source site, which points to a resource on a server that is protected behind the IVE. 5. The link redirects the user to the Intersite Transfer Service URL on the source site. The source site pulls an authentication assertion message from its cache and encloses it in a SOAP message. The source site constructs a SAML artifact (a Base64 string) that it returns to the browser in a URI along with the destination and assertion address. 6. The destination site queries the authenticated assertion from the source site, based on the artifact it receives from the source site. 7. If the elapsed time falls within the allowable clock skew time, the IVE accepts the assertion as a valid authentication, and the user meets any other IVE policy restrictions, the IVE grants the user access to the requested resource. The main tasks you are required to fulfill to support the IVE as the relying party with the artifact profile include: Implement the assertion consumer service, which: Receives the redirect URL containing the artifact Generates and sends the SAML request Receives and processes the SAML response
Configuring a SAML Server instance

157

Juniper Networks Secure Access Administration Guide

Integrate the assertion consumer service with the existing IVE process, which: Maps the SAML assertion to a local user Creates an IVE user session Performs local authorization Serves the resource or denies access

Using the POST profile scenario

The SAML server generally supports the POST profile scenario, as follows: 1. The end-user accesses the source Web site, hereafter known as the source site. 2. The source site verifies whether or not the user has a current session. 3. If not, the source site prompts the user to enter user credentials. 4. The user supplies credentials, for example, username and password. 5. If the authentication is successful, the source site authentication server creates a session for the user and displays the appropriate welcome page of the portal application. 6. The user then selects a menu option or link that points to a resource or application on a destination Web site. 7. The portal application directs the request to the local inter-site transfer service, which can be hosted on the source site. The request contains the URL of the resource on the destination site, in other words, the TARGET URL. 8. The inter-site transfer service sends an HTML form back to the browser. The HTML FORM contains a SAML response, within which is a SAML assertion. The response must be digitally signed. Typically the HTML FORM will contain an input or submit action that will result in an HTTP POST. This can be a userclickable Submit button or a script that initiates the HTTP POST programmatically. 9. The browser, either due to a user action or by way of an auto-submit action, sends an HTTP POST containing the SAML response to the destination Web sites assertion consumer service. 10. The replying party's assertion consumer (in this case, on the destination Web site) validates the digital signature on the SAML Response. 11. If valid, the assertion consumer sends a redirect to the browser, causing the browser to access the TARGET resource. 12. The IVE, on the destination site, verifies that the user is authorized to access the destination site and the TARGET resource. 13. If the user is authorized to access the destination site and the TARGET resource, the IVE returns the TARGET resource to the browser.

The main tasks you are required to fulfill to support the IVE as the relying party with the POST profile include: Implement the assertion consumer service, which receives and processes the POST form Integrate the assertion consumer service with the existing IVE process, which: Maps the SAML assertion to a local user Creates an IVE user session Performs local authorization Serves the resource or denies access Understanding Assertions Each party in the request-response communication must adhere to certain requirements. The requirements provide a predictable infrastructure so that the assertions and artifacts can be processed correctly. The artifact is a Base64-encoded string of 40 bytes. An artifact acts as a token that references an assertion on the source site, so the artifact holderthe IVE can authenticate a user who has signed in to the source site and who now wants to access a resource protected by the IVE. The source site sends the artifact to the IVE in a redirect, after the user attempts to access a resource protected by the IVE. The artifact contains:
TypeCode2-byte hex code of 0x0001 that identifies the artifact type. SourceID20-byte encrypted string that determines the source site identity and location. The IVE maintains a table of SourceID values and the URL for the corresponding SAML responder. The IVE and the source site communicate this information in a back channel. On receiving the SAML artifact, the IVE determines whether or not the SourceID belongs to a known source site, and, if it does, obtains the site location before sending a SAML request. The source site generates the SourceID by computing the SHA-1 hash of the source sites own URL. AssertionHandle20-byte random value that identifies an assertion stored

or generated by the source site. At least 8 bytes of this value should be obtained from a cryptographically secure RNG or PRNG. The inter-site transfer service is the identity provider URL on the source site (not the IVE). Your specification of this URL in the admin console enables the IVE to construct an authentication request to the source site, which holds the users credentials in cache. The request is similar to the following example:
GET http://<inter-site transfer host name and path>?TARGET=<Target><HTTPVersion><other HTTP 1.0 or 1.1 components>

Configuring a SAML Server instance

159

Juniper Networks Secure Access Administration Guide

In the preceding sample, <inter-site transfer host name and path> consists of the host name, port number, and path components of the inter-site transfer URL at the source and where Target=<Target> specifies the requested target resource at the destination (IVE protected) site. This request might look like:
GET http://10.56.1.123:8002/xferSvc?TARGET=http://www.dest.com/sales.htm

The inter-site transfer service redirects the users browser to the assertion consumer service at the destination sitein this case, the IVE. The HTTP response from the source site inter-site transfer service must be in the following format:
<HTTP-Version> 302 <Reason Phrase> <other headers> Location : http://<assertion consumer host name and path>?<SAML searchpart><other HTTP 1.0 or 1.1 components>

In the preceding sample, <assertion consumer host name and path> provides the host name, port number, and path components of an assertion consumer URL at the destination site and where <SAML searchpart>= TARGET=<Target> SAMLart=<SAML artifact> consists of one target description, which must be included in the <SAML searchpart> component. At least one SAML artifact must be included in the SAML <SAML searchpart> component. The asserting party can include multiple SAML artifacts.

NOTE:

You can use status code 302 to indicate that the requested resource resides temporarily under a different URI. If <SAML searchpart> contains more than one artifact, all of the artifacts must share the same SourceID. The redirect might look like:
HTTP/1.1 302 Found Location: http://www.ive.com:5802/artifact?TARGET=/www.ive.com/&SAMLart=artifact

The user's browser accesses the assertion consumer service, with a SAML artifact representing the user's authentication information attached to the URL. The HTTP request must appear as follows:
GET http://<assertion consumer host name and path>?<SAML searchpart> <HTTP-Version><other HTTP 1.0 or 1.1 request components>

In the preceding sample, <assertion consumer host name and path> provides the host name, port number, and path components of an assertion consumer URL at the destination site.
<SAML searchpart>= TARGET=<Target>SAMLart=<SAML artifact>

160

Configuring a SAML Server instance

Chapter 7: Authentication and directory servers

A single target description MUST be included in the <SAML searchpart> component. At least one SAML artifact MUST be included in the <SAML searchpart> component; multiple SAML artifacts MAY be included. If more than one artifact is carried within <SAML searchpart>, all the artifacts MUST have the same SourceID. You should not expose the assertion consumer URL unless over SSL 3.0 or TLS 1.0. Otherwise, transmitted artifacts might be available in plain text to an attacker. The issuer value is typically the URL of the source site. You can specify the <ISSUER> variable which will return the issuer value from the assertion. The user name template is a reference to the SAML name identifier element, which allows the asserting party to provide a format for the user name. The SAML specification allows for values in the following formats: Unspecifiedindicates that interpretation of the content is left up to the individual implementations. In this case, you can use the variable assertionName. Email Addressindicates that content is in the form of an email address. In this case, you can use the variable assertionName. X.509 Subject Nameindicates that the content is in the form of an X.509 subject name. In this case, you can use the variable assertionNameDN.<RDN>. Windows Domain Qualified Nameindicates that the content is a string in the form of DomainName\Username. You should define the user name template to accept the type of user name your SAML assertion contains. To prevent eavesdropping on the SAML artifact, source and destination sites should synchronize their clocks as closely as possible. The IVE provides an Allowed Clock Skew attribute that dictates the maximum time difference allowed between the IVE and the source site. The IVE rejects any assertions whose timing exceeds the allowed clock skew.

Creating a new SAML Server instance

To create a new SAML server instance, and configure the common elements: 1. In the admin console, choose Authentication > Auth. Servers. 2. Select SAML Server from the New list, and then click New Server. 3. Specify a name to identify the server instance. 4. Under Settings, specify the Source Site Inter-Site Transfer Service URL. 5. Specify the issuer value for the source site. Typically the URI or hostname of the issuer of the assertion.

6. Specify the user name template, which is a mapping string from the SAML assertion to an IVE user realm. For example, enter <assertionNameDN.CN>, which derives the username from the CN value in the assertion. For more information about allowable values for this object, see Configuring a SAML Server instance on page 156. 7. Specify the Allowed Clock Skew value, in minutes. This value determines the maximum allowed difference in time between the IVE clock and the source site clock. 8.

To configure the SAML Server to use an artifact profile, continue the following procedure from the last step in Creating a new SAML Server instance on page 161. 1. On the New SAML Server page, enter the Source ID. The source ID is the 20byte identifier that the IVE uses to recognize an assertion from a given source site. 2. Enter the Source SOAP Responder Service URL. You should specify this URL in the form of an HTTPS: protocol. 3. Choose the type of SOAP Client Authentication. If you choose HTTP Basic, you must then enter the username and password, and confirm the password. If you choose SSL Client Certificate, choose an IVE certificate from the drop down menu. 4. Click Save Changes. If you are creating the server instance for the first time, the Settings and Users tabs appear. The Settings tab allows you to modify any of the settings pertaining to the SAML Server instance and the artifact profile. The Users tab lists valid users of the server.

Chapter 7: Authentication and directory servers

The certificate you select should be the same certificate used for signing the SAML response at the source site. The source site may send this certificate along with the SAML response, depending on the source site configuration. By default, the system performs signature verification of the SAML response first on the locally configured certificate. If a certificate is not configured locally in the SAML authentication server, then the system performs the signature verification on the certificate included in the SAML response from the source site. 3. Select the Enable Signing Certificate status checking option if you want the IVE to be able to check the validity of the signing certificate configured in the SAML authentication server POST profile. It is possible that the certificate has already expired is has been revoked.. 4. If you already have a certificate loaded and want to use another, locate the certificate, then click Delete. You can then install another certificate. 5. Click Save Changes. If you are creating the server instance for the first time, the Settings and Users tabs appear.

Authentication realms
An authentication realm specifies the conditions that users must meet in order to sign into the IVE. A realm consists of a grouping of authentication resources, including: An authentication server, which verifies that the user is who he claims to be. The IVE forwards credentials that a user submits on a sign-in page to an authentication server. For more information, see Authentication and directory servers on page 91. A directory server, which is an LDAP server that provides user and group information to the IVE that the IVE uses to map users to one or more user roles. For more information, see Authentication and directory servers on page 91. An authentication policy, which specifies realm security requirements that need to be met before the IVE submits a user's credentials to an authentication server for verification. For more information, see Defining authentication policies on page 168. Role mapping rules, which are conditions a user must meet in order for the IVE to map the user to one or more user roles. These conditions are based on either user information returned by the realm's directory server or the user's username. For more information, see Creating role mapping rules on page 169.

Licensing: Authentication realms availability

Authentication realms are an integral part of the IVE access management framework, and therefore are available on all Secure Access products. Note, however that custom expressions are not available on the SA 700 appliance and are only available on all other Secure Access products by special license. Therefore, when creating a realm, not all administrators can create advanced role-mapping rules using custom expressions.

Creating an authentication realm

To create an authentication realm: 1. In the admin console, choose Administrators > Admin Realms or Users > User Realms. 2. On the respective Authentication Realms page, click New. Or, select a realm and click Duplicate to base your realm on an existing realm. 3. Enter a name to label this realm and (optionally) a description. 4. If you are copying an existing realm, click Duplicate. Then, if you want to modify any of its settings, click the realms name to enter into edit mode. 5. Select When editing, start on the Role Mapping page if you want the Role Mapping tab to be selected when you open the realm for editing. 6. Under Servers, specify: An authentication server to use for authenticating users who sign in to this realm. A directory/attribute server to use for retrieving user attribute and group information for role mapping rules and resource policies. (optional) A RADIUS accounting server to use to track when a user signs in and out of the IVE (optional).

NOTE: When your LDAP server is down, user authentication fails. You can find messages and warnings in the event log files. When an attribute server is down, user authentication does not fail. Instead, the groups/attributes list for role mapping and policy evaluation is empty.

7. If you want to submit secondary user credentials to an SSO-enabled resource or enable two-factor authentication to access the IVE (as explained in Multiple sign-in credentials overview on page 193), select Additional authentication server. Then: a. Select the name of the secondary authentication server. Note that you cannot choose an anonymous server, certificate server, or Netegrity SiteMinder server.

b. Select Username is specified by user on sign-in page if you want to prompt the user to manually submit his username to the secondary server during the IVE sign-in process. Otherwise, if you want to automatically submit a username to the secondary server, enter static text or a valid variable in the predefined as field. By default, the IVE submits the <username> session variable, which holds the same username used to sign in to the primary authentication server. c. Select Password is specified by user on sign-in page if you want to prompt the user to manually submit his password to the secondary server during the IVE sign-in process. Otherwise, if you want to automatically submit a password to the secondary server, enter static text or a valid variable in the predefined as field.

d. Select the End session if authentication against this server fails if you want to control access to the IVE based on the successful authentication of the users secondary credentials. 8. If you want to use dynamic policy evaluation for this realm (as explained in Dynamic policy evaluation on page 40), select Dynamic policy evaluation to enable an automatic timer for dynamic policy evaluation of this realms authentication policy, role mapping rules, and role restrictions. Then: a. Use the Refresh interval option to specify how often you want the IVE to perform an automatic policy evaluation of all currently signed-in realm users. Specify the number of minutes (5 to 1440).

b. Select Refresh roles to also refresh the roles of all users in this realm. (This option does not control the scope of the Refresh Now button.) c. Select Refresh resource policies to also refresh the resource policies (not including Meeting and Email Client) for all users in this realm. (This option does not control the scope of the Refresh Now button.)

NOTE: If you select Dynamic policy evaluation and you do not select Refresh roles and Refresh resource policies, the IVE evaluates the realms authentication policy, role mapping rules, and role restrictions only.

d. Click Refresh Now to manually evaluate the realms authentication policy, role mapping rules, role restrictions, user roles, and resource policies of all currently signed-in realm users. Use this button if you make changes to an authentication policy, role mapping rules, role restrictions, or resource policies and you want to immediately refresh the roles of this realms users.
NOTE: Since dynamic policy evaluation can potentially impact system performance, keep these guidelines in mind:

Since automatic (timer-based) refreshing of user roles and resource policies can affect system performance, you can improve performance by disabling either or both of the Refresh roles and Refresh resource policies options to reduce the scope of the refresh. To improve performance, set the Refresh interval option to a longer time period. Use the Refresh Now button at times when users may not be affected. 9. Click Save Changes to create the realm on the IVE. The General, Authentication Policy, and Role Mapping tabs for the authentication realm appear. 10. Perform the next configuration steps: a. Configure one or more role mapping rules as described in Creating role mapping rules on page 169.

b. Configure an authentication policy for the realm as described in Defining authentication policies on page 168.

Defining authentication policies

An authentication policy is a set of rules that controls one aspect of access managementwhether or not to present a realms sign-in page to a user. An authentication policy is part of an authentication realms configuration, specifying rules for the IVE to consider before presenting a sign-in page to a user. If a user meets the requirements specified by the realm's authentication policy, then the IVE presents the corresponding sign-in page to the user and then forwards the user's credentials to the appropriate authentication server. If this server successfully authenticates the user, then the IVE moves on to the role evaluation process. To specify an authentication realm policy: 1. In the admin console, choose Administrators > Admin Realms or Users > User Realms. 2. On the respective Authentication Realms page, click a realm and then click the Authentication Policy tab.

168

3. On the Authentication Policy page, configure one or more of the access management options described in the following sections: Specifying source IP access restrictions on page 43 Specifying browser access restrictions on page 44 Specifying certificate access restrictions on page 47 Specifying password access restrictions on page 48 Specifying Host Checker access restrictions on page 49 Specifying Cache Cleaner access restrictions on page 491 Specifying limits restrictions on page 49

Creating role mapping rules

Role mapping rules are conditions a user must meet in order for the IVE to map the user to one or more user roles. These conditions are based on either user information returned by the realm's directory server or the user's username. You must specify role mapping directives in the following format:
If the specified condition is|is not true, then map the user to the selected roles.

You create a role mapping rule on Role Mapping tab of an authentication realm. (For administrators, you create role mapping rules on the Administrators > Admin Realms > [Realm] > Role Mapping tab. For users, you create role mapping rules on the Users > User Realms > [Realm] > Role Mapping tab.) When you click New Rule on this tab, the Role Mapping Rule page appears with an inline editor for defining the rule. This editor leads you through the three steps of creating a rule: 1. Specify the type of condition on which to base the rule. Options include: Username User attribute Certificate or certificate attribute Group membership Custom expressions 2. Specify the condition to evaluate, which consists of: a. Specifying one or more usernames, user attributes, certificate attributes, groups (LDAP), or expressions depending on the type of condition selected in step 1.

1. Not available in administrator realms.

b. Specifying to what the value(s) should equate, which may include a list of usernames, user attribute values from a RADIUS or LDAP server, client-side certificate values (static or compared to LDAP attributes), LDAP groups, or pre-defined custom expressions. 3. Specify the roles to assign to the authenticated user. The IVE compiles a list of eligible roles to which a user may be mapped, which are roles specified by the role mapping rules to which the user conforms. Next, the IVE evaluates the definition for each role to determine if the user complies with any role restrictions. The IVE uses this information to compile a list of valid roles, which are roles for which the user meets any additional requirements. Finally, the IVE either performs a permissive merge of the valid roles or presents a list of valid roles to the user, depending on the configuration specified on the realms Role Mapping tab. For more information about roles, see User roles on page 51. For more information about specifying role mapping rules, see Specifying role mapping rules for an authentication realm on page 170.

Specifying role mapping rules for an authentication realm

When creating a new rule that uses LDAP or SiteMinder user attributes, LDAP group information, or custom expressions, you must use the server catalog. For information about this catalog, see Using the LDAP server catalog on page 172. To specify role mapping rules for an authentication realm: 1. In the admin console, choose Administrators > Admin Realms or Users > User Realms. 2. On the respective Authentication Realms page, select a realm and then click the Role Mapping tab. 3. Click New Rule to access the Role Mapping Rule page. This page provides an inline editor for defining the rule. 4. In the Rule based on list, choose one of the following: UsernameUsername is the IVE username entered on the sign-in page. Choose this option if you want to map users to roles based on their IVE usernames. This type of rule is available for all realms. User attributeUser attribute is a user attribute from a RADIUS, LDAP, or SiteMinder server. Choose this option if you want to map users to roles based on an attribute from the corresponding server. This type of rule is available only for realms that use a RADIUS server for the authentication server, or that use an LDAP or SiteMinder server for either the authentication server or directory server. After choosing the User attribute option, click Update to display the Attribute list and the Attributes button. Click the Attributes button to display the server catalog.

Chapter 8: Authentication realms

To add SiteMinder user attributes, enter the SiteMinder user attribute cookie name in the Attribute field in the server catalog, and then click Add Attribute. When you are finished adding cookie names, click OK. The IVE displays the names of the SiteMinder user attribute cookies in the Attribute list on the Role Mapping Rule page. For information on how to use the server catalog to add LDAP user attributes, see Using the LDAP server catalog on page 172). Certificate or Certificate attributeCertificate or Certificate attribute is an attribute supported by the users client-side certificate. Choose this option if you want to map users to roles based on certificate attributes. The Certificate option is available for all realms; the Certificate attribute option is available only for realms that use LDAP for the authentication or directory server. After choosing this option, click Update to display the Attribute text box. Group membershipGroup membership is group information from an LDAP or native Active Directory server that you add to the server catalog Groups tab. Choose this option if you want to map users to roles based on either LDAP or Active Directory group information. This type of rule is available only for realms that use an LDAP server for either the authentication server or directory server or that use an Active Directory server for authentication. (Note that you cannot specify an Active Directory server as an authorization server for a realm.) Custom ExpressionsCustom Expressions is one or more custom expressions that you define in the server catalog. Choose this option if you want to map users to roles based on custom expressions. This type of rule is available for all realms. After choosing this option, click Update to display the Expressions lists. Click the Expressions button to display the Expressions tab of the server catalog.

NOTE: If you add more than one custom expression to the same rule, the IVE creates an OR rule for the expressions. For example, you might add the following expressions to a single rule:

Expression 1: cacheCleanerStatus = 1 Expression 2: loginTime = (8:00AM TO 5:00PM) Based on these expressions, a user would match this rule if Cache Cleaner was running on his system OR if he signed into the IVE between 8:00 and 5:00. 5. Under Rule, specify the condition to evaluate, which corresponds to the type of rule you select and consists of: a. Specifying one or more usernames, SiteMinder user attribute cookie names, RADIUS or LDAP user attributes, certificate attributes, LDAP groups, or custom expressions.

b. Specifying to what the value(s) should equate, which may include a list of IVE usernames, user attribute values from a RADIUS, SiteMinder, or LDAP server, client-side certificate values (static or LDAP attribute values), LDAP groups, or custom expressions. For example, you can choose a SiteMinder user attribute cookie named department from the Attribute list, choose is from the operator list, and then enter "sales" and "eng" in the text box. Or, you can enter a custom expression rule that references the SiteMinder user attribute cookie named department:
userAttr.department = ("sales" and "eng")

6. Under ...then assign these roles: a. Specify the roles to assign to the authenticated user by adding roles to the Selected Roles list.

b. Check Stop processing rules when this rule matches if you want the IVE to stop evaluating role mapping rules if the user meets the conditions specified for this rule. 7. Click Save Changes to create the rule on the Role Mapping tab. When you are finished creating rules: Make sure to order them in the order in which you want the IVE to evaluate them. This task is particularly important when you want to stop processing role mapping rules upon a match. Specify whether or not you want to merge settings for all assigned roles. See Permissive merge guidelines on page 53.

Using the LDAP server catalog

The LDAP server catalog is a secondary window through which you specify additional LDAP information for the IVE to use when mapping users to roles, including: AttributesThe Server Catalog Attributes tab shows a list of common LDAP attributes, such as cn, uid, uniquemember, and memberof. This tab is accessible only when accessing the Server Catalog of an LDAP server. You can use this tab to manage an LDAP servers attributes by adding custom values to and deleting values from its IVE server catalog. Note that the IVE maintains a local copy of the LDAP servers values; attributes are not added to or deleted from your LDAP servers dictionary.

172

Creating role mapping rules

Chapter 8: Authentication realms

GroupsThe Server Catalog Groups tab provides a mechanism to easily retrieve group information from an LDAP server and add it to the servers IVE server catalog. You specify the BaseDN of your groups and optionally a filter to begin the search. If you do not know the exact container of your groups, you can specify the domain root as the BaseDN, such as dc=juniper, dc=com.The search page returns a list of groups from your server, from which you can choose groups to enter into the Groups list.
NOTE: The BaseDN value specified in the LDAP servers configuration page under "Finding user entries" is the default BaseDN value. The Filter value defaults to (cn=*).

You can also use the Groups tab to specify groups. You must specify the Fully Qualified Distinguished Name (FQDN) of a group, such as cn=GoodManagers, ou=HQ, ou=Juniper, o=com, c=US, but you can assign a label for this group that appears in the Groups list. Note that this tab is accessible only when accessing the Server Catalog of an LDAP server. ExpressionsThe Server Catalog Expressions tab provides a mechanism to write custom expressions for the role mapping rule. For more information about custom expressions, see Writing custom expressions on page 855. To display the LDAP server catalog: 1. After choosing the User attribute option on the Role Mapping Rule page (see Specifying role mapping rules for an authentication realm on page 170), click Update to display the Attribute list and the Attributes button. 2. Click the Attributes button to display the LDAP server catalog. (You can also click Groups after choosing the Group membership option, or click Expressions after choosing the Custom Expressions option.)

Sign-in policies
Sign-in policies define the URLs that users and administrators can use to access to the IVE and the sign-in pages that they see. The IVE comes with two sign-in policiesone for users and one for administrators. When configuring these policies, you associate each with the appropriate realms, sign-in pages, and URLs. For example, in order to allow all users to sign in to the IVE, you must add all user authentication realms to the user sign-in policy. You may also choose to modify the standard URL that the end-users use to access the IVE and the sign-in page that they see. Or, if you have the proper license, you can create multiple user sign-in policies, enabling different users to sign into different URLs and pages. Additionally, appliances equipped with a Secure Meeting license come with a meeting URL. You can use this URL to control the sign-in page that users see when they sign into a meeting on the IVE appliance. If you have the proper license, you may also create additional meeting sign-in pages, enabling different Secure Meeting users to sign into different URLs and pages. If you have an Advanced license, you can create multiple sign-in policies, associating different sign-in pages with different URLs. When configuring a sign-in policy, you must associate it with a realm or realms. Then, only members of the specified authentication realm(s) may sign in using the URL defined in the policy. Within the sign-in policy, you may also define different sign-in pages to associate with different URLs. For example, you can create sign-in policies that specify: Members of the Partners realm can sign in to the IVE using the URLs: partner1.yourcompany.com and partner2.yourcompany.com. Users who sign into the first URL see the partners1 sign-in page; users who sign into the second URL see the partners2 sign-in page. Members of the Local and Remote realms can sign into the IVE using the URL: employees.yourcompany.com. When they do, they see the Employees sign-in page. Members of the Admin Users realm can sign into the IVE using the URL: access.yourcompany.com/super. When they do, they see the Administrators sign-in page.

181

Juniper Networks Secure Access Administration Guide

When defining sign-in policies, you may use different host names (such as partners.yourcompany.com and employees.yourcompany.com) or different paths (such as yourcompany.com/partners and yourcompany.com/employees) to differentiate between URLs.

NOTE: If a user attempts to sign in while there is another active user session with the same sign-in credentials, the IVE displays a warning page showing the IP address of the existing session and two buttons: Continue and Cancel. By clicking the Cancel button, the user terminates the current sign-in process and redirects the user back to the Sign-in page. By clicking the Continue button, the IVE creates the new user session and terminates the existing session.

NOTE: When enabling multiple sign-in URLs, note that in some cases the IVE must use cookies on the users machine to determine which sign-in URL and corresponding sign-in page to display to the user. The IVE creates these cookies when the user signs into the IVE. (When a user signs into the IVE, the IVE responds with a cookie that includes the sign-in domain of the URL. The IVE then attaches this cookie to every IVE request the user makes.) Generally, these cookies ensure that the IVE displays the correct sign-in URL and page to the user. For example, if a user signs into the IVE using the URL http://yourcompany.net/employees and then her session times out, the IVE uses the cookie to determine that it must display the http://yourcompany.net/employees sign-in URL and corresponding page to the user when she requests another IVE resource.

However, in isolated cases, the cookie on the users machine may not match the resource she is trying to access. The user may sign into one URL and then try to access a resource that is protected by a different URL. In this case, the IVE displays the sign-in URL and corresponding sign-in page that the user signed into most recently. For example, a user may sign into the IVE using the sign-in URL http://yourcompany.net/employees. Then she may try to access an IVE resource using a link on an external server, such as https://yourcompany.net/partners/dana/term/winlaunchterm.cgi?host=<termsrvIP >. Or, she may try to open a bookmark that she created during a different session, such as https://yourcompany.net/partners/,DanaInfo=.awxyBmszGr3xt1r5O3v.,SSO=U+. In these cases, the IVE would display the http://yourcompany.net/employees sign-in URL and page to the user, rather than the sign-in URL or page that is associated with the external link or saved bookmark that she is trying to access.

Sign-in policies and pages are an integral part of the IVE access management framework, and therefore are available on all Secure Access products. However, note that the following advanced sign-in features are not available on the SA 700 and are only available on all other Secure Access products by special license: The ability to create multiple sign-in policies The ability to create sign-in pages for Secure Meeting users The ability to create and upload custom sign-in pages to the IVE

Task summary: Configuring sign-in policies

To configure sign-in policies, you must: 1. Create an authentication realm through one of the Administrators > Admin Realms or Users > User Realms page of the admin console. 2. (Optional) Modify an existing sign-in page or create a new one using options in the Authentication > Signing In > Sign-in Pages page of the admin console. 3. Specify a sign-in policy that associates a realm, sign-in URL, and sign-in page using settings in the Authentication > Signing In > Sign-in Policies page of the admin console. 4. If you differentiate between URLs using host names, you must associate each host name with its own certificate or upload a wildcard certificate into the IVE using options in the System > Configuration > Certificates > Device Certificates page.

1. In the admin console, choose Authentication > Signing In > Sign-in Policies. 2. To create a new sign-in policy, click New URL. Or, to edit an existing policy, click a URL in the Administrator URLs or User URLs column. 3. Select Users or Administrators to specify which type of user can sign into the IVE using the access policy. 4. In the Sign-in URL field, enter the URL that you want to associate with the policy. Use the format <host>/<path> where <host> is the host name of the IVE, and <path> is any string you want users to enter. For example: partner1.yourcompany.com/outside. To specify multiple hosts, use the * wildcard character. For instance: To specify that all administrator URLs within the specified realm(s) should use the sign-in page, enter */admin. To specify that all end-user URLs within the specified realm(s) should use the sign-in page, enter */.
NOTE: You may only use wildcard characters (*) in the beginning of the host name

portion of the URL. The IVE does not recognize wildcards in the URL path. 5. Enter a Description for the policy (optional). 6. From the Sign-in Page list, select the page that you want to associate with the policy. You may select the default page that comes with the IVE, a variation of the standard sign-in page, or a custom page that you create using the customizable UI feature. For more information, see Configuring standard signin pages on page 188. 7. (User URLs only) In the Meeting URL field, select the meeting URL that you want to associate with this sign-in policy. The IVE applies the specified meeting URL to any meeting created by a user who signs into this user URL. 8. Under Authentication realm, specify which realm(s) map to the policy, and how users and administrators should pick from amongst realms. If you select: User types the realm nameThe IVE maps the sign-in policy to all authentication realms, but does not provide a list of realms from which the user or administrator can choose. Instead, the user or administrator must manually enter his realm name into the sign-in page.

Chapter 9: Sign-in policies

User picks from a list of authentication realmsThe IVE only maps the sign-in policy to the authentication realms that you choose. The IVE presents this list of realms to the user or administrator when he signs-in to the IVE and allows him to choose a realm from the list. (Note that the IVE does not display a drop-down list of authentication realms if the URL is only mapped to one realm. Instead, it automatically uses the realm you specify.)
NOTE: If you allow the user to pick from multiple realms and one of those realms uses an anonymous authentication server, the IVE does not display that realm in the drop-down realm list. To effectively map your sign-in policy to an anonymous realm, you must add only that realm to the Authentication realm list.

Defining meeting sign-in policies

To create or configure meeting sign-in policies: 1. In the admin console, choose Authentication > Authentication > Signing In Policies. 2. To create a new sign-in policy, click New URL. Or, to edit an existing policy, click a URL in the Meeting URLs column. 3. Select Meeting. 4. In the Sign-in URL field, enter the URL that you want to associate with the meeting policy. Use the format <host>/<path> where <host> is the host name of the IVE, and <path> is any string you want users to enter. For example: Partner1.YourCompany.com/OnlineConference. When creating the meeting URL, note that: You cannot modify the URL of the default meeting URL (*/meeting) that comes with the product. If you want to enable users to sign into meetings using all of the host names defined in the associated user URL, use the * wildcard character in your meeting URL definition. For example, you might associate the following hosts with your user URL:
YourInternalServer.YourCompany.net YourExternalServer.YourCompany.com

Then, if you create an */OnlineConference meeting URL definition and associate it with the user URL, users can access the meeting sign-in page using either of the following URLs:
http://YourInternalServer.YourCompany.net/OnlineConference http://YourExternalServer.YourCompany.com/OnlineConference

Configuring sign-in policies

185

Juniper Networks Secure Access Administration Guide

If you create a meeting URL that includes the * wildcard character and enable email notifications, the IVE constructs the meeting URL in the notification email using the host name specified by the user when signing into the IVE. For instance, a user might sign into the IVE using the following URL from the previous example:
http://YourInternalServer.YourCompany.net

Then, if the user creates a meeting, the IVE specifies the following sign-in URL for that meeting in the email notification:
http://YourInternalServer.YourCompany.net/OnlineConference

Note that since the email link references an internal server, out-of-network users cannot access the meeting. If you only want to enable users to sign into meetings using a sub-set of the host names defined in the associated user URL, or if you want to require users to use a completely different URL to sign into meetings, do not include the * wildcard character in your meeting URL definition. Instead, create a unique and specific meeting URL definition. For instance, you can create the following meeting URL definition and associate it with the user URL from the previous example in order to specify that all meetings contain links to the external server only:
YourExternalServer.YourCompany.com/OnlineConference

5. Enter a Description for the policy (optional). 6. From the Sign-in Page list, select the sign-in page(s) that you want to appear to users who access meetings using this policy.

Chapter 9: Sign-in policies

Specifying the order in which sign-in policies are evaluated

The IVE evaluates sign-in policies in the same order that you list them on the Signin Policies page. When it finds a URL that matches exactly, it stops evaluating and presents the appropriate sign-in page to the administrator or user. For example, you may define two administrator sign-in policies with two different URLs: The first policy uses the URL */admin and maps to the default administrator sign-in page. The second policy uses the URL yourcompany.com/admin and maps to a custom administrator sign-in page. If you list the policies in this order on the Sign-in Policies page, the IVE never evaluates or uses the second policy because the first URL encompasses the second. Even if an administrator signs in using the yourcompany.com/admin URL, the IVE displays the default administrator sign-in page. If you list the policies in the opposite order, however, the IVE displays the custom administrator sign-in page to those administrators who access the IVE using the yourcompany.com/admin URL. Note that the IVE only accepts wildcard characters in the host name section of the URL and matches URLs based on the exact path. For example, you may define two administrator sign-in policies with two different URL paths: The first policy uses the URL */marketing and maps to a custom sign-in page for the entire Marketing Department. The second policy uses the URL */marketing/joe and maps to a custom sign-in page designed exclusively for Joe in the Marketing Department. If you list the policies in this order on the Sign-in Policies page, the IVE displays Joes custom sign-in page to him when he uses the yourcompany.com/marketing/joe URL to access the IVE. He does not see the Marketing sign-in page, even though it is listed and evaluated first, because the path portion of his URL does not exactly match the URL defined in the first policy. To change the order in which administrator sign-in policies are evaluated: 1. In the admin console, choose Authentication > Signing In > Sign-in Policies. 2.

Single sign-on
Single sign-on (SSO) is a process that allows pre-authenticated IVE users to access other applications or resources that are protected by another access management system without having to re-enter their credentials. This section contains the following information about single-sign on features: Licensing: Single sign-on availability on page 191 Single sign-on overview on page 191 Multiple sign-in credentials overview on page 193 Configuring SAML on page 201 Configuring SAML SSO profiles on page 204

Licensing: Single sign-on availability

All Secure Access products contain some single sign-on features. However, note that the Remote SSO, SAML, and eTrust SSO advanced sign-in features are not available on the SA 700 and are only available on all other Secure Access products by special license. Additionally, the basic authentication, NTLM intermediation, and Telnet SSO features are only available on the SA 700 appliance if you have the Core Clientless Access upgrade license.

Single sign-on overview

The IVE provides several integration mechanisms that allow you to configure SSO connections from the IVE to other servers, applications, and resources. SSO mechanisms include: Remote SSOThe IVE provides loose integration with any application that uses a static POST action within an HTML form to sign in users. You can configure the IVE to post IVE credentials, LDAP attributes, and certificate attributes to a Web-enabled application, as well as set cookies and headers, allowing users to access the application without re-authenticating. For more information, see Remote SSO overview on page 285.

Licensing: Single sign-on availability

SAMLThe IVE provides loose integration with selected access management systems that use the Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) to communicate with other systems. You can enable users to sign in to the IVE and then sign in to and access resources protected by the access management system without re-authenticating. You can also enable users to sign in to another access management system and then access resources protected by the IVE, without re-authenticating. For more information, see Configuring SAML on page 201. Basic authentication and NTLM intermediation to Intranet sitesThe IVE allows you to automatically submit IVE user credentials to other Web sites and proxies within the same Intranet zone. When you enable basic authentication intermediation through the Users > Resource Profiles > Web Applications/Pages page of the admin console, the IVE submits the cached credentials to Intranet Web sites whose host names end in the DNS suffix configured in the System > Network > Overview page. To maximize security, you may also configure the IVE to use base-64 encoding to protect the cached credentials. For more information, see Defining a single sign-on autopolicy on page 292. Active Directory serverThe IVE allows you to automatically submit Active Directory SSO credentials to other Web sites and Windows file shares within the same Intranet zone that are protected by native NTLM authentication. When you enable this option, the IVE submits cached credentials to NTLMprotected Web sites whose host names end in the DNS suffix configured in the System > Network > Overview page of the admin console. For more information, see Configuring an Active Directory or NT Domain instance on page 99. eTrust SiteMinder policy serverWhen you authenticate IVE users using a eTrust SiteMinder policy server, you can enable them access to SiteMinder protected resources without re-authenticating (provided they are authorized with the correct protection level). Additionally, you can re-authenticate users through the IVE if they request resources for which their current protection level is inadequate and you can enable users to sign into the policy server first and then access the IVE without re-authenticating. For more information, see Configuring an eTrust SiteMinder server instance on page 133. Terminal SessionsWhen you enable the Terminal Services feature for a role, you allow users to connect to applications that are running on a Windows terminal server or Citrix MetaFrame server without re-authenticating. For more information, see Terminal Services on page 461. You may also pass a username to the Telnet/SSH server, as explained in Terminal Services on page 461. Email clientsWhen you enable the Email Client feature for a role and then create a corresponding resource policy, you allow users to access standardsbased email such as Outlook Express, Netscape Communicator, or Qualcomms Eudora without re-authenticating. For more information, see Email Client on page 513.

The IVE determines which credentials to submit to the SSO-enabled server, application, or resource based on the mechanism you use to connect. Most mechanisms allow you to collect user credentials for up to two authentication servers in the IVE sign-in page and then submit those credentials during SSO. For more information, see Multiple sign-in credentials overview on page 193. The remaining mechanisms (SAML, eTrust SiteMinder, and the Email Client) use unique methods for enabling SSO from the IVE to the supported application.

When configuring an authentication realm, you can enable up to two authentication servers for the realm. Enabling two authentication servers allows you to require two different sets of credentialsone for the IVE and another for your SSO-enabled resourcewithout requiring the user to enter the second set of credentials when accessing the resource. It also allows you to require two-factor authentication in order to access the IVE.

Task Summary: Enabling SSO to resources protected by basic authentication

To enable single sign-on to Web servers and Web proxies that are protected by basic authentication, you must: 1. Specify an IVE host name that ends with the same prefix as your protected resource using settings in the System > Network > Overview page of the admin console. (The IVE checks the host names to ensure that it is only enabling SSO to sites within the same Intranet.) 2. Enable users to access Web resources, specify the sites to which you want the IVE to submit credentials, create autopolicies that enable basic authentication intermediation single sign-on, and create bookmarks to the selected resources using settings in the Users > Resource Profiles > Web Application/Pages > [Profile] page of the admin console. 3. If you want users to access Web servers through a proxy, configure the IVE to recognize the appropriate servers and proxies using settings in the following pages of the admin console: a. Use settings in Users > Resource Policies > Web > Web proxy > Servers page to specify which Web servers you want to protect with the proxy.

b. Use settings in the Users > Resource Policies > Web > Web proxy > Policies page to specify which proxies you want to use and which servers (above) you want the proxies to protect. You may specify individual resources on the server or the entire server.

Task Summary: Enabling SSO to resources protected by NTLM

To enable single sign-on to Web servers, Windows file servers, and Web proxies that are protected by NTLM, you must: 1. Specify an IVE host name that ends with the same suffix as your protected resource using settings in the System > Network > Overview page of the admin console.

Multiple sign-in credentials execution

The following diagram illustrates the process that the IVE uses to collect and authenticate multiple user credentials and submit them to SSO-enabled resources. Each of the steps in the diagram are described in further detail in the sections that follow.
Figure 30: Collecting and submitting credentials from multiple servers

Step 1: The IVE collects the users primary credentials

When the user signs in to the IVE, the IVE prompts him to enter his primary server credentials. The IVE saves these credentials to submit to the SSO resource later, if necessary. Note that the IVE saves the credentials exactly as the user enters them it does not pre-pend or append them with additional information such as the users domain.

Step 2: The IVE collects or generates the users secondary credentials

You may configure the IVE to either manually collect or automatically generate the users secondary set of credentials. If you configure the IVE to: Manually collect the users secondary credentialsThe user must enter his secondary credentials directly after entering his primary credentials.

196

Multiple sign-in credentials overview

Chapter 10: Single sign-on

Automatically generate the users credentialsThe IVE submits the values you specified in the administration console during setup. By default, the IVE uses the <username> and <password> variables, which hold the username and password entered by the user for the primary authentication server. For example, you may configure an LDAP server as your primary authentication server and an Active Directory server as your secondary authentication server. Then, you may configure the IVE to infer the users Active Directory username but require the user to manually enter his Active Directory password. When the IVE infers the Active Directory username, it simply takes the name entered for the LDAP server (for example, JDoe@LDAPServer) and resubmits it to the Active Directory (for example, JDoe@ActiveDirectoryServer).

Step 3: The IVE authenticates the primary credentials

After the IVE collects all required credentials, it authenticates the users first set of credentials against the primary authentication server. Then: If the credentials successfully authenticate, the IVE stores them in the <username> and <password> session variables and continues on to authenticate the secondary credentials.
NOTE: If you authenticate against a RADIUS server that accepts dynamic, timesensitive passwords, you may choose to not store user passwords using the IVE session variable. For more information, see Configuring a RADIUS server instance on page 120.

If the credentials do not successfully authenticate, the IVE denies the user access to the IVE.

Step 4: The IVE authenticates the secondary credentials

After authenticating the primary credentials, the IVE authenticates the secondary credentials. Then: If the credentials successfully authenticate, the IVE stores them in the <username[2]> and <password[2]> session variables and allows the user access to the IVE. You may also access these variables using the syntax <username@SecondaryServer> and <password@SecondaryServer>.
NOTE: If you authenticate against a RADIUS server that accepts dynamic, timesensitive passwords, you may choose to not store user passwords using the IVE session variable. For more information, see Configuring a RADIUS server instance on page 120.

Multiple sign-in credentials overview

197

Juniper Networks Secure Access Administration Guide

If the credentials do not successfully authenticate, the IVE does not save them. Depending on how you configure your authentication realm, the IVE may allow or deny the user access to the IVE if his secondary credentials do not successfully authenticate.
NOTE: You can detect that secondary authentication failed by creating a custom expression that checks for an empty user@secondaryAuth variable. You may want to do this so that you can assign users to roles based on successful authentication. For example, the following expression assigns users to the MoreAccess role if they successfully authenticate against the ACE server secondary authentication server: user@{ACE Server} != "" then assign role MoreAccess

Note Ace server is shown in curly braces since the authentication servers name contains spaces.

Step 5: The IVE submits credentials to an SSO-enabled resource

After the user successfully signs in to the IVE, he may try to access an SSO-enabled resource using a pre-configured bookmark or other access mechanism. Then, depending on which type of resource the user is trying to access, the IVE submits different credentials. If the user is trying to access a: Web SSO, Terminal Services, or Telnet/SSH resourceThe IVE submits the credentials that you specify through the admin console, such as <username> (which submits the users primary credentials to the resource) or <username[2]> (which submits the users secondary credentials to the resource). Or, if the user has entered a different username and password through the end user console, the IVE submits the user-specified credentials.
NOTE: The IVE does not support submitting ACE server, certificate server, or anonymous server credentials to a Web SSO, terminal services, or Telnet/SSH resource. If you configure the IVE to submit credentials from one of these types of primary authentication servers, the IVE submits credentials from the users secondary authentication server instead. If these credentials fail, the IVE prompts the user to manually enter his username and password.

Resource protected by a Web server, Windows server, or Web proxy that is using NTLM authenticationThe IVE submits credentials to the backend server or proxy that is protecting the Web or file resource. Note that you cannot disable NTLM authentication through the IVEIf a user tries to access a resource that is protected by NTLM, the IVE automatically intermediates the authentication challenge and submits credentials in the following order: a. (Windows file resources only) Administrator-specified credentialsIf you create a resource profile that specifies credentials for a Windows file resource and the user then accesses the specified resource, the IVE submits the specified credentials.

Cached credentialsIf the IVE does not submit administrator-specified credentials or the credentials fail, the IVE determines whether it has stored credentials for the specified user and resource in its cache. (See below for information about when the IVE caches credentials.) If available, the IVE submits its stored credentials.

b. Primary credentialsIf the IVE does not submit cached credentials or the credentials fail, the IVE submits the users primary IVE credentials provided that following conditions are true: The resource is in the same Intranet zone as the IVE (that is, the resources host name ends in the DNS suffix configured in the System > Network > Overview page of the admin console). (Web proxies only) You have configured the IVE to recognize the Web proxy through settings in the Users > Resource Policies > Web > Web Proxy pages of the admin console.

Note that when the IVE caches these credentials, it remembers the specific user and resource, even after the user signs out of the IVE.

NOTE:

The IVE does not support the multiple credential authentication mechanism described in this section with the Email client and SAML SSO mechanisms. You cannot define an anonymous server, certificate server, or eTrust SiteMinder server as a secondary authentication server. If you define an eTrust SiteMinder server as your primary authentication server, you cannot define a secondary authentication server. The IVE supports basic authentication and NTLM challenge/response scheme for HTTP when accessing web applications, but does not support HTTP-based cross-platform authentication via the negotiate protocol.

For more information about how the IVE uses multiple authentication within the larger IVE authentication and authorization process, see Policies, rules & restrictions, and conditions evaluation on page 38.

Configuring SAML
The IVE enables you to pass user and session state information between the IVE and another trusted access management system that supports the Secure Access Markup Language (SAML). SAML provides a mechanism for two disparate systems to create and exchange authentication and authorization information using an XML framework, minimizing the need for users to re-enter their credentials when accessing multiple applications or domains1. The IVE supports SAML version 1.1. SAML exchanges are dependent upon a trusted relationship between two systems or domains. In the exchanges, one system acts as a SAML authority (also called an asserting party or SAML responder) that asserts information about the user. The other system acts as a relying party (also called a SAML receiver) that relies on the statement (also called an assertion) provided by the SAML authority. If it chooses to trust the SAML authority, the relying party authenticates or authorizes the user based on the information provided by the SAML authority. The IVE supports two SAML use case scenarios: The IVE as the SAML authorityThe user signs into a resource by way of the IVE first, and all other systems are SAML receivers, relying on the IVE for authentication and authorization of the user. Under this scenario, the IVE can use either an artifact profile or a POST profile. For more information, see Configuring SAML SSO profiles on page 204. The IVE as the SAML receiverThe user signs into another system on the network first, and the IVE is the SAML receiver, relying on the other system for authentication and authorization of the user. For example, in the first scenario, an authenticated IVE user named John Smith may try to access a resource protected by an access management system. When he does, the IVE acts as a SAML authority and declares This user is John Smith. He was authenticated using a password mechanism. The access management system (the relying party) receives this statement and chooses to trust the IVE (and therefore trust that the IVE has properly identified the user). The access management system may still choose to deny the user access to the requested resource (for instance, because John Smith has insufficient access privileges on the system), while trusting the information sent by the IVE. In the second scenario, John Smith signs in to his company portal and is authenticated using an LDAP server sitting behind the companys firewall. On the companys secure portal, John Smith clicks a link to a resource protected by the IVE. The following process occurs:

1. The Secure Access Markup Language is developed by Security Services Technical Committee (SSTC) of the OASIS standards organization. For a technical overview of SAML, see the OASIS web site: http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/download.php/5836/sstc-saml-tech-overview-1.1-draft-03.pdf

Configuring SAML

201

Juniper Networks Secure Access Administration Guide

1. The link redirects John Smith to an Intersite Transfer Service on the company portal, which constructs an artifact URL. The artifact URL contains a reference to a SAML assertion stored in the company portals cache. 2. The portal sends the URL to the IVE, which can decide whether or not to link to the reference. 3. If the IVE links to the reference, the portal sends a SOAP message containing the SAML assertion (an XML message containing the users credentials) to the IVE, which can then decide whether or not to allow the user access to the requested resource. 4. If the IVE allows the user access, the IVE presents to the user the requested resource. 5. If the IVE rejects the SAML assertion, or the user credentials, the IVE responds to the user with an error message. When configuring the IVE, you can use SAML for: Single sign-on (SSO) authenticationIn a SAML SSO transaction, an authenticated user is seamlessly signed into another system without resubmitting his credentials. In this type of transaction, the IVE can be either the SAML authority or the SAML receiver. When acting as the SAML authority, the IVE makes an authentication statement, which declares the users username and how he was authenticated. If the relying party (called an assertion consumer service in SAML SSO transactions) chooses to trust the IVE, the user is seamlessly signed into the assertion consumer service using the username contained in the statement. When acting as the SAML receiver, the IVE requests credential confirmation from the SAML authority, which is the other access management system, such as LDAP or another authentication server. The SAML authority sends an assertion by way of a SOAP message. The assertion is a set of XML statements that the IVE must interpret, based on criteria that the IVE administrator has specified in a SAML server instance definition. If the IVE chooses to trust the asserting party, the IVE allows the user to sign in seamlessly using the credentials contained in the SAML assertion.

202

Configuring SAML

Chapter 10: Single sign-on

Access control authorizationIn a SAML access control transaction, the IVE asks an access management system whether the user has access. In this type of transaction, the IVE is the relying party (also called a policy enforcement point in access control transactions). It consumes and enforces an authorization decision statement provided by the access management system (SAML authority), which declares what the user is allowed to access. If the SAML authority (also called a policy decision point in access control transactions) declares that the IVE user has sufficient access privileges, the user may access the requested resource.
NOTE:

The IVE does not support attribute statements, which declare specific details about the user (such as John Smith is a member of the gold group). The IVE does not generate authorization decision statementsit only consumes them. In addition to providing users access to a URL based on the authorization decision statement returned by a SAML authority, the IVE also allows you to define users access rights to a URL using IVE-only mechanisms (Users > Resource Profiles > Web Applications/Pages tab). If you define access controls through the IVE as well as through a SAML authority, both sources must grant access to a URL in order for a user to access it. For example, you may configure an IVE access policy that denies members of the Users role access to www.google.com, but configure another SAML policy that bases a users access rights on an attribute in an access management system. Even if the access management system permits users access to www.google.com, users are still denied access based on the IVE access policy. When asked if a user may access a resource, access management systems that support SAML may return a response of permit, deny, or indeterminate. If the IVE receives an indeterminate response, it denies the user access. The session timeouts on the IVE and your access management system may not coordinate with one another. If a users access management system session cookie times out before his IVE cookie (DSIDcookie) times out, then single sign-on between the two systems is lost. The user is forced to sign in again when he times out of the access management system. For more information, see: Configuring SAML SSO profiles on page 204.

Configuring SAML SSO profiles

When enabling SSO transactions to a trusted access management system, you must indicate whether the access management system should pull user information from the IVE or whether the IVE should push it to the access management system. You indicate which communication method the two systems should use by selecting a profile during configuration. A profile is a method that two trusted sites use to transfer a SAML statement. When configuring the IVE, you may choose to use an artifact or POST profile.

Creating an artifact profile

When you choose to communicate using the artifact profile (also called Browser/Artifact profile) the trusted access management server pulls authentication information from the IVE, as shown in Figure 31.
Figure 31: Artifact profile

The IVE and an assertion consumer service (ACS) use the following process to pass information: 1. The user tries to access a resourceA user is signed into the IVE and tries to access a protected resource on a Web server. 2. The IVE sends an HTTP or HTTPS GET request to the ACSThe IVE intercepts the request and checks whether it has already performed the necessary SSO operation to honor the request. If not, the IVE creates an authentication statement and passes an HTTP query variable called an artifact to the assertion consumer service. An artifact profile is a base-64 encoded string that contains the source ID of the source site (that is, a 20-byte string that references the IVE) and a randomlygenerated string that acts as a handle to the authentication statement. (Note that a handle expires 5 minutes after the artifact is sent, so if the assertion consumer service responds after 5 minutes, the IVE does not send a statement. Also note that the IVE discards a handle after its first use to prevent the handle from being used twice.)

204

Configuring SAML SSO profiles

Chapter 10: Single sign-on

3. The ACS sends a SAML request to the IVEThe assertion consumer service uses the source ID sent in the previous step to determine the location of the IVE. Then, the assertion consumer service sends a statement request wrapped in a SOAP message to the following address on the IVE:
https://<IVEhostname>/dana-ws/saml.ws

The request includes the statement handle passed in the previous step.
NOTE: The IVE only supports type 0x0001 artifacts. This type of artifact passes a reference to the source sites location (that is, the source ID of the IVE), rather than sending the location itself. To handle type 0x0001 artifacts, the assertion consumer service must maintain a table that maps source IDs to the locations of partner source sites.

4. The IVE sends an authentication statement to the ACSThe IVE uses the statement handle in the request to find the correct statement in the IVE cache and then sends the appropriate authentication statement back to the to the assertion consumer service. The unsigned statement contains the user's identity and the mechanism he used to sign into the IVE. 5. The ACS sends a cookie to the IVEThe assertion consumer service accepts the statement and then it sends a cookie back to the IVE that enables the users session. 6. The IVE sends the cookie to the Web serverThe IVE caches the cookie to handle future requests. Then the IVE sends the cookie in an HTTP request to the Web server whose domain name matches the domain in the cookie. The Web server honors the session without prompting the user for credentials.

NOTE: If you configure the IVE to use artifact profiles, you must install the IVEs Web server certificate on the assertion consumer service (as explained in Configuring certificates on page 215).

On the SAML SSO Policies page, order the policies according to how you want the IVE to evaluate them. Keep in mind that once the IVE matches the resource requested by the user to a resource in a policys (or a detailed rules) Resource list, it performs the specified action and stops processing policies.

Creating a POST profile

When you choose to communicate using a POST profile (also called Browser/POST profile), the IVE pushes authentication data to the access management system using an HTTP POST command over an SSL 3.0 connection, as shown in Figure 32.
Figure 32: POST profile

The IVE and an access management (AM) system use the following process to pass information: 1. The user tries to access a resourceA user is signed into the IVE and tries to access a protected resource on a Web server. 2. The IVE posts a statementThe IVE intercepts the request and checks whether it has already performed the necessary SSO operation to honor the request. If not, the IVE creates an authentication statement, digitally signs it, and posts it directly to the access management server. Since the statement is signed, the access management server must trust the certificate authority that was used to issue the certificate. Note that you must configure which certificate the IVE uses to sign the statement.

208

Then the IVE sends the cookie in an HTTP request to the Web server whose domain name matches the domain in the cookie. The Web server honors the session without prompting the user for credentials.

NOTE: If you configure the IVE to use POST profiles, you must install the assertion

consumer services root CA on the IVE and determine which method the assertion consumer service uses to trust the certificate (as explained in Configuring certificates on page 215).

Creating an access control policy

When enabling access control transactions to a trusted access management system, the IVE and trusted access management system exchange information using the method shown in Figure 33.
Figure 33: Access control policies

The IVE and an access management (AM) system use the following process to pass information: 1. The user tries to access a resourceA user is signed into the IVE and tries to access a protected resource on a Web server. 2. The IVE posts an authorization decision queryIf the IVE has already made an authorization request and it is still valid, the IVE uses that request. (The authorization request is valid for the period of time specified in the admin console.) If it does not have a valid authorization request, the IVE posts an authorization decision query to the access management system. The query contains the users identity and the resource that the access management system needs to authorize.

3. The AM posts an authorization decision statementThe access management system sends an HTTPS POST containing a SOAP message that contains the authorization decision statement. The authorization decision statement contains a result of permit, deny, or indeterminate. 4. The IVE sends the request to the Web browserIf the authorization decision statement returns a result of permit, the IVE allows the user access. If not, the IVE presents an error page to the user telling him that he does not have the proper access permissions.

NOTE: If you configure the IVE to use access control transactions, you must install the SAML Web services root CA on the IVE (as explained in Configuring certificates on page 215).

To write a SAML Access Control resource policy: 1. In the admin console, navigate to Users > Resource Policies > Web. 2.

Keep in mind that once the IVE matches the resource requested by the user to a resource in a policys (or a detailed rules) Resource list, it performs the specified action and stops processing policies.

Creating a trust relationship between SAML-enabled systems

In order to ensure that SAML-enabled systems are only passing information between trusted sources, you must create a trust relationship between the applications that are sending and receiving information. To create a trust relationship between the IVE and another SAML-enabled application, you must configure the following types of information on each system: Configuring trusted application URLs on page 215 Configuring an issuer on page 215 Configuring certificates on page 215 Configuring user identity on page 218

214

Chapter 10: Single sign-on

Configuring trusted application URLs

In a trust relationship, you must provide the SAML-enabled systems with the URLs they need to contact each other. In some transactions, only the system that initiates the transaction (the IVE) needs to know the URL of the other system. (The IVE uses the URL to initiate the transaction.) In other transactions (SSO transactions using artifact profiles), you need to configure each system with the URL of the other. Listed below are the different transaction types and the URLs you must configure for each: SSO transactions: Artifact profileOn the IVE, you must enter the URL of the assertion consumer service. For example: https://hostname/acs Also, you must enter the following URL for the IVE on the assertion consumer service: https://<IVEhostname>/dana-ws/saml.ws SSO transactions: POST profileOn the IVE, you must enter the URL of the assertion consumer service. For example: https://hostname/acs Access control transactionsOn the IVE, you must enter the URL of the SAML Web service. For example: https://hostname/ws

Configuring an issuer
Before accepting a statement from another system, a SAML-enabled entity must trust the issuer of the statement. You can control which issuers a system trusts by specifying the unique strings of the trusted issuers during the systems configuration. (When sending a statement, an issuer identifies itself by including its unique string in the statement. SAML-enabled applications generally use host names to identify issuers, but the SAML standard allows applications to use any string.) If you do not configure a system to recognize an issuers unique string, the system will not accept that issuers statements. Listed below are the different transaction types and the issuers you must configure for each: SSO transactionsYou must specify a unique string on the IVE (typically its host name) that it can use to identify itself and then configure the access management system to recognize that string. Access control transactionsYou must specify a unique string on the access management system (typically its host name) that it can use to identify itself and then configure the IVE to recognize that string.

Configuring certificates
Within SSL transactions, the server must present a certificate to the client, and then the client must verify (at minimum) that it trusts the certificate authority who issued the servers certificate before accepting the information. You can configure all of the IVEs SAML transactions to use SSL (HTTPS). The following sections list different transaction types and the certificate requirements for each.

Configuring SAML SSO profiles

215

Juniper Networks Secure Access Administration Guide

Configuring SSO transactions: Artifact profile Artifact profile transactions involve numerous communications back and forth between the IVE and access management system. The methods you use to pass data and authenticate the two systems affect which certificates you must install and configure. Listed below are the different artifact profile configuration options that require special certificate configurations: All artifact profile transactionsRegardless of your artifact profile configuration, you must install the certificate of the CA that signed the IVE Web servers certificate on the access management system. (The IVE requires the access management system to use an SSL connection when requesting an authentication statement. In an SSL connection, the initiator must trust the system to which it is connecting. By installing the CA certificate on the access management system, you ensure that the access management system will trust the CA that issued the IVEs certificate.) Sending artifacts over an SSL connection (HTTPS GET requests)If you choose to send artifacts to the access management system using an SSL connection, you must install the access management systems root CA certificate on the IVE. (In an SSL connection, the initiator must trust the system to which it is connecting. By installing the access management systems CA certificate on the IVE, you ensure that the IVE will trust the CA that issued the access management systems certificate.) You can install the root CA from the System > Configuration > Certificates > Trusted Client CAs page in the admin console. For more information, see Using trusted client CAs on page 607. If you do not want to send artifacts over an SSL connection, you do not need to install any additional certificates. To enable SSL-based communications from the IVE to the access management system, enter a URL that begins with HTTPS in the SAML Assertion Consumer Service URL field during IVE configuration. You may also need to enable SSL on the access management system. Transactions using certificate authenticationIf you choose to authenticate the access management system using a certificate, you must: Install the access management systems root CA certificate on the IVE. You can install the root CA from the System > Configuration > Certificates > Trusted Client CAs page in the admin console. For more information, see Using trusted client CAs on page 607. Specify which certificate values the IVE should use to validate the access management system. You must use values that match the values contained in the access management servers certificate. If you do not choose to authenticate the access management system, or if you choose to use username/password authentication, you do not need to install any additional certificates.

Configuring SSO transactions: POST profile In a POST profile transaction, the IVE sends signed authentication statements to the access management system. Generally, it sends them over an SSL connection (recommended), but in some configurations, the IVE may send statements via a standard HTTP connection. Listed below are the different POST profile configuration options that require special certificate configurations: All POST profile transactionsRegardless of your POST profile configuration, you must specify which certificate the IVE should use to sign its statements. You can choose a certificate in the Users > Resource Policies > Web > SSO > SAML > [Policy] > General page in the admin console. For more information, see Configuring SAML on page 201. Then, you must install the IVEs device certificate on the access management system. You can download the IVEs certificate from the System > Configuration > Certificates > Device Certificates > [Certificate] > Certificate Details page. Sending POST data over an SSL connection (HTTPS)If you choose to send statements to the access management system using an SSL connection, you must install the access management systems root CA certificate on the IVE. (In an SSL connection, the initiator must trust the system to which it is connecting. By installing the access management systems certificate on the IVE, you ensure that the IVE will trust the CA that issued the access management systems certificate.) You can install the root CA from the System > Configuration > Certificates > Trusted Client CAs page in the admin console. For more information, see Using trusted client CAs on page 607. If you do not want to post statements over an SSL connection, you do not need to install any additional certificates. To enable SSL-based communications from the IVE to the access management system, enter a URL that begins with HTTPS in the SAML Assertion Consumer Service URL field during IVE configuration. You may also need to enable SSL on the access management system. Configuring access control transactions In an access control transaction, the IVE posts an authorization decision query to the access management system. To ensure that the access management system responds to the query, you must determine which certificate options are required by your configuration. Listed below are the different access control configuration options that require special certificate configurations: Sending authorization data over an SSL connectionIf you choose to connect to the access management system using an SSL connection, you must install the access management systems root CA on the IVE. (In an SSL connection, the initiator must trust the system to which it is connecting.

Transactions using certificate authenticationIf you choose to use certificate authentication, you must configure the access management system to trust the CA that issued the IVEs certificate. Optionally, you may also choose to accept the certificate based on the following additional options: Upload the IVE certificates public key to the access management system. Validate the IVE using specific certificate attributes. These options require that you specify which certificate the IVE should pass to the access management system. You can choose a certificate in the Users > Resource Policies > Web > Access > SAML ACL > [Policy] > General page in the admin console. For more information, see Configuring SAML SSO profiles on page 204. To determine how to configure your access management system to validate the IVEs certificate, see your access management systems documentation. If your access management system does not require certificate authentication, or if it uses username/password authentication, you do not need to configure the IVE to pass the access management server a certificate. If you do not specify a trust method, your access management system may accept authorization requests from any system.

Configuring user identity

In a trust relationship, the two entities must agree on a way to identify users. You may choose to share a username across systems, select an LDAP or certificate user attribute to share across systems, or hard-code a user ID. (For example, you may choose to set the Subject Name field to guest to easily allow access across systems.) To ensure that the two systems are passing common information about users, you must specify which information the IVE should pass using options in the User Identity section of the Users > Resource Policies > Web > SSO > SAML > [Policy] > General page (for more information, see Configuring SAML on page 201) and the Users > Resource Policies > Web > Access > SAML ACL > [Policy] > General page of the admin console. Choose a username or attribute that the access management system will recognize.

Task Summary: Configuring SAML through the IVE

To configure SAML through the IVE, you must: 1. Configure a Web resource policy for a URL through the Users > Resource Policies > Web > Access > SAML ACL and Users > Resource Policies > Web > SSO > SAML tabs in the admin console. For more instructions, see Configuring SAML on page 201. 2.

Endpoint defense
Juniper Networks has developed the Juniper Endpoint Defense Initiative (J.E.D.I.) to provide a comprehensive solution to assess the trust worthiness of SSL VPN endpoints. J.E.D.I. uses a layered approach to address the full range of risks that endpoints can pose to your enterprise network. Using J.E.D.I. components, you can secure the systems of users inside and outside your network before allowing them to connect to your IVE appliance. J.E.D.I. components include: Host CheckerHost Checker (also called native Host Check and policy-based enforcement) is a native IVE component that you can use to perform endpoint checks on hosts that connect to the IVE. Host Checker checks for third party applications, files, process, ports, registry keys, and custom DLLs and denies or enables access based on the results of the checks. When properly licensed, you can also use Host Checker to download advanced malware detection software directly to the users computer. When a users computer does not meet the requirements you specify, you can display remediation instructions to users so they can bring their computers into compliance. For more information, see Host Checker on page 223. Host Check Client Interface (Windows only)The Host Check Client Interface is an API that allows you to run your own DLLs using Host Checker. Through the interface, you can prompt Host Checker to run a DLL that you already installed on the users system or distributed as part of a corporate OS image, including programs that check compliance with corporate images, antivirus software, and personal firewall clients. Host Checker runs the specified DLL when a user signs into the IVE, and then bases its subsequent actions on the success or failure result that the DLL returns. For example, you may deny a user access to the IVE if the client check software fails. For more information, see the J.E.D.I. Solution Guide available on the Juniper Networks Customer Support Center. Host Check Server Integration Interface (Windows only)The Host Check Server Integration Interface is an API that allows you to tightly integrate a J.E.D.I. compliant system with the IVE. Like the Host Check Client Interface, you can use the Host Check Server Integration Interface to prompt Host Checker to run third-party software on the client, including host integrity scans, malware detectors, and virtual environments. With this interface, you may also

221

Juniper Networks Secure Access Administration Guide

specify with granularity what Host Checker should do based on the result of the diverse policy checks that the third-party applications conduct. You can invoke these policies to dynamically map users to realms, roles, and resources based on the results of individual policies contained in your software package. For more information, see the J.E.D.I. Solution Guide available on the Juniper Networks Customer Support Center. Cache Cleaner (Windows only)Cache Cleaner is a native IVE component that you can use to remove residual data, such as cookies, temporary files, or application caches, from a users machine after an IVE session. Cache Cleaner helps secure the users system by preventing subsequent users from finding temporary copies of the files that the previous user was viewing and by preventing Web browsers from permanently storing the usernames, passwords, and Web addresses that users enter in Web forms. For more information, see Cache Cleaner on page 269. Using these endpoint defense components, you can develop a layered protection approach, managing and provisioning a variety of endpoint checks all from within the IVE. For example, you may choose to check for virus detection before allowing a user access to any of the IVE realms, launch the software on the users system if necessary, map the user to roles based on individual policies defined in your own DLL, and then further restrict access to individual resources based on the existence of spyware detection software. Then, you may use Cache Cleaner to remove residual files and clear the users application cache once the user has terminated the IVE session. This section includes the following information about endpoint defense: Host Checker on page 223 Cache Cleaner on page 269

Chapter 11

Host Checker
Host Checker is a client-side agent that performs endpoint checks on hosts that connect to the IVE. You can invoke Host Checker before displaying an IVE sign-in page to a user and when evaluating a role mapping rule or resource policy. The IVE can check hosts for endpoint properties using a variety of rule types, including rules that check for and install advanced malware protection; predefined rules that check for antivirus software, firewalls, malware, spyware, and specific operating systems from a wide variety of industry leaders; and custom rules that check for certain third party DLLs, ports, processes, files, and registry key settings. If the users computer does not meet any of the Host Checker policy requirements, you can display a custom-made HTML remediation page to the user.

Licensing: Host Checker availability

Host Checker is a standard feature on all Secure Access appliances. You do not need a special license to use the baseline Host Checker features. However, note that Host Checker custom expressions, Host Checker detailed rules, Host Checker remediation, and other features may not be available on the SA 700 and are only available on all other Secure Access products by special license. Additionally, in order to support more than 25 users with the advanced endpoint defense malware detection policies, you must buy an upgrade license.

Task summary: Configuring Host Checker

To configure Host Checker, you must perform these tasks: 1. Create and enable Host Checker policies through the Authentication > Endpoint Security > Host Checker page of the admin console, as explained in Creating global Host Checker policies on page 226. 2. Configure additional system-level options through the Authentication > Endpoint Security > Host Checker page of the admin console as necessary: If you want to display remediation information to users when they fail to meet the requirements of a Host Checker policy, configure remediation options through the Authentication > Endpoint Security > Host Checker page of the admin console, as explained in Remediating Host Checker policies on page 255. For Windows clients, determine whether you need to use a pre-authentication access tunnel between the clients and policy server(s) or resources. If necessary, create a manifest.hcif file with the tunnel definition and upload it through the Authentication > Endpoint Security > Host Checker page of the admin console, as explained in Defining Host Checker pre-authentication access tunnels on page 258. If you want to change the default Host Checker settings, configure them through the Authentication > Endpoint Security > Host Checker page of the admin console, as explained in Specifying general Host Checker options on page 262. 3. Determine at which levels within the IVE access management framework you want to enforce the policies: To enforce Host Checker policies when the user first accesses the IVE, implement the policies at the realm level by using the Administrators > Admin Realms > Select Realm > Authentication Policy > Host Checker or the Users > User Realms > Select Realm > Authentication Policy > Host Checker pages of the admin console.

224

Licensing: Host Checker availability

Chapter 11: Host Checker

To allow or deny users access to roles based on their compliance with Host Checker policies, implement the policies at the role level by using the Administrators > Admin Roles > Select Role > General > Restrictions > Host Checker or the Users > User Roles > Select Role > General > Restrictions > Host Checker pages of the admin console. To map users to roles based on their compliance with Host Checker policies, use custom expressions in the Administrators > Admin Realms > Select Realm > Role Mapping or the Users > User Realms > Select Realm > Role Mapping pages of the admin console. To allow or deny users access to individual resources based on their compliance with Host Checker policies, use conditions in the Users > Resource Policies > Select Resource > Select Policy > Detailed Rules > Select|Create Rule page of the admin console. For more information, see Configuring Host Checker restrictions on page 253. 4. Specify how users can access the Host Checker client-side agent that enforces the policies you define: To enable automatic installation of the Host Checker client-side agent on all platforms, use the Administrators > Admin Realms > Select Realm > Authentication Policy > Host Checker page or the Users > User Realms > Select Realm > Authentication Policy > Host Checker page of the admin console. To download the Host Checker installer and manually install it on your Windows users systems, use the Maintenance > System > Installers page of the admin console. For configuration instructions, see Specifying Host Checker installation options on page 264.

NOTE: Users must enable signed ActiveX components or signed Java applets within their browsers in order for Host Checker to download, install, and launch the client applications.

5. Determine whether you want to create client-side logs. If you enable client-side logging through the System > Log/Monitoring > Client Logs page of the admin console, the IVE appliance creates log files on your users systems and writes to the file whenever Host Checker runs. For configuration instructions, see Using Host Checker logs on page 267.

Creating global Host Checker policies

In order to use Host Checker as a policy enforcement tool for managing endpoints, you must create global Host Checker policies at the system level through the Authentication > Endpoint Security > Host Checker page of the admin console, and then implement the policies at the realm, role, and resource policy levels. The IVE provides several mechanisms that you can use to enable, create, and configure Host Checker policies: Pre-defined policies (prevent in-network attacks or downloads malware detection software)The IVE comes equipped with two types of pre-defined client-side Host Checker policies that you simply need to enable, not create or configure, in order to use them. The Connection Control policy prevents attacks on Windows client computers from other infected computers on the same network. The Advanced Endpoint Defense: Malware Protection policies download malware protection software to client computers before users sign into the IVE. Note that these policies only work on Windows systems. For more information, see Enabling pre-defined client-side policies (Windows only) on page 227. Pre-defined rules (check for third party applications)Host Checker comes pre-equipped with a vast array of pre-defined rules that check for antivirus software, firewalls, malware, spyware, and specific operating systems from a wide variety of industry leaders. You can enable one or more of these rules within a Host Checker client-side policy in order to ensure that the integrated third party applications that you specify are running on your users computers in accordance with your specifications. For more information, see Checking for third-party applications using pre-defined rules (Windows only) on page 232. Custom rules (check for additional requirements)If the pre-defined clientside policies and rules that come with the IVE do not meet your needs, you can create custom rules within a Host Checker policy to define requirements that your users computers must meet. Using custom rules, you can: Configure Host Checker to check for custom third party DLLs that perform customized client-side checks. Verify that certain ports are open or closed on the users computer. Confirm that certain processes are or are not running on the users computer. Check that certain files are or are not present on the client machine. Evaluate the age and content of required files through MD5 checksums. Confirm that registry keys are set on the client machine. For more information, see Specifying customized requirements using custom rules on page 236.

226

Chapter 11: Host Checker

Custom integrated applications (implement through server API)For Windows clients, you can define Host Checker server-side policies using the Host Check Server Integration Interface (API) and zip up the policies into a third-party integration package. The IVE recognizes the policies when you upload your third-party integration package to the IVE. For more information about creating these policies, see the J.E.D.I. Solution Guide available on the Juniper Networks Customer Support Center. For information about enabling the server-side policies that you create, see Enabling customized server-side policies on page 242. Within a single policy, you can create different Host Checker requirements for Windows, Macintosh, and Linux, checking for different files, processes, and products on each operating system. You can also can combine any number of host check types within a single policy and check for alternative sets of rules.

Enabling pre-defined client-side policies (Windows only)

The IVE comes equipped with two types of pre-defined client-side Host Checker policies that you simply need to enable, not create or configure, in order to use them: The connection control policy prevents attacks on Windows client computers from other infected computers on the same network. For more information, see Enabling connection control policies on page 228. The advanced endpoint defense malware detection policies download Whole Securitys Confidence Online software to client computers. This software protects users from malicious software such as worms, viruses, key logger software, screen capture software, and trojan horses. For more information, see Enabling advanced malware protection policies on page 228.
NOTE:

The connection control and advanced endpoint defense malware detection policies only work on Windows systems. The connection control policy is not supported on Windows 98 systems.

Creating global Host Checker policies

227

Juniper Networks Secure Access Administration Guide

Enabling connection control policies

The pre-defined connection control Host Checker policy prevents attacks on Windows client computers from other infected computers on the same physical network. The Host Checker connection control policy blocks all incoming TCP connections. This policy allows all outgoing TCP and Network Connect traffic, as well as all connections to DNS servers, WINS servers, DHCP servers, proxy servers, and the IVE.
NOTE:

Users must have administrator privileges in order for Host Checker to enforce the connection control policy on the client computer. The IVE does not support the Host Checker connection control policy on Windows 98 client computers. To enable the pre-defined Host Checker connection control policy: 1. In the admin console, choose Authentication > Endpoint Security > Host Checker. 2. Under Options, select the Create Host Checker Connection Control Policy checkbox. 3. Click Save Changes. The IVE enables the Host Checker connection control policy.
NOTE: Note that you cannot modify this policyonly enable or disable it. Also note that since you cannot modify this policy, the IVE does not display it in the Policies section of the Authentication > Endpoint Security > Host Checker page with other configurable policies.

4. Implement the Host Checker connection control policy at the realm, role, or resource policy levels using the options described in Configuring Host Checker restrictions on page 253.
NOTE: You must evaluate or enforce the connection control policy at the realm level to make the policy effective on client computers.

Enabling advanced malware protection policies

If you are properly licensed, you can enable advanced endpoint defense malware detection policies through Host Checker. These policies download and run Whole Security Confidence Online software on your users computers. This software scans for malicious programs, including: Trojan horsesHackers write trojan horses to remotely administer an infected machine. Trojan horses almost always install themselves on a users computer without the authorized users knowledge.

228

Creating global Host Checker policies

Chapter 11: Host Checker

Key logger softwareHackers write key logger software to eavesdrop on a user by capturing and logging his typed keystrokes. Key logger software installs itself on a users computer without the authorized users knowledge. Monitoring applicationsMonitoring applications are end-user software applications that monitor and record user activity. Users typically install this software themselves to monitor the activity of children, spouses, and other users who share their computers. Remote controlsRemote control applications are commercial applications such as VNC that offer easy remote access to an authorized user for computer administration activities. To use the Whole Security malware protection software, you need to enable the Advanced Endpoint Defense Malware Detection option at the system level and enforce it at the realm, role, and/or resource policy levels. You do not need to create or configure advanced endpoint defense malware detection policiesHost Checker creates them for you when you enable the option at the system level. Note that we recommend that you require and enforce an advanced endpoint defense malware detection policy at the realm level so that Host Checker can download the Confidence Online software to your users computers and check for potential threats before they sign in to the IVE, but after their Windows logon. Once Confidence Online begins running, it continues to scan for and block threats throughout the users IVE session.
NOTE: Each users computer must be able to access the Whole Security site (update.wholesecurity.com) so that Confidence Online can periodically download the latest definition files.

To enable and configure advanced endpoint defense malware detection policies: 1. In the admin console, choose Authentication > Endpoint Security > Host Checker. 2. Under Options, select the Enable Advanced Endpoint Defense: Malware Protection checkbox. 3. Select the Enable Silent Enforcement of Signature Scan checkbox if you do not want Confidence Online to notify users when it blocks trojan horse, key logger software, and other applications that it deems malicious. (Note that Confidence Online accesses a Whole Security server on a daily basis in order to keep its list of malicious applications current.)

4. Select the Enable User Control over disabling Behavior Blocker checkbox if you want to enable users to choose whether or not to block monitoring applications, remote control software, and other potentially legitimate applications. If you select this option, users can view and control blocked applications through a Confidence Online icon in their system trays. (For more information, see the Confidence Online end-user help system.) If you do not select this option, Confidence Online simply blocks these applications without user interaction.
NOTE:

Category 1 and Category 2 Signature ScansRestricted users, power users, and administrators can install and run the scanning feature in Confidence Online. The scanning feature is supported on Windows 98 SE, Windows ME, Windows NT4, Windows 2000, and Windows XP systems. Behavior BlockerOnly administrators can install and run the behavior blocker feature in Confidence Online. The behavior blocker feature is supported on Windows 2000 and Windows XP systems. 5. Click Save Changes. The IVE enables the following advanced endpoint defense malware detection policies: Advanced Endpoint Defense: Malware Protection.Behavior Blocker This policy is created by Whole Security. It enables the Confidence Online behavior blocker software to block keystroke logger software, screen capture software, and other applications that try to eavesdrop on user sessions. Advanced Endpoint Defense: Malware Protection.Category One Threats (Trojan Horses and Key Loggers)This policy is created by Whole Security. It enables the Confidence Online software to block trojan horse programs, spyware, malware, and other malicious applications. Advanced Endpoint Defense: Malware Protection.Category Two Threats (Monitoring Applications and Remote Controls)This policy is created by Whole Security. It enables the Confidence Online software to block monitoring applications, remote control software, and other potentially legitimate applications. Each of these policies includes remediation instructions that display a message to users if they do not pass the specified policy. The message tells the users to follow instructions in the pop-up window to remediate their machines. 6. Implement the advanced endpoint defense malware detection policies at the realm, role, or resource policy levels using the options described in Configuring Host Checker restrictions on page 253. (You must at least evaluate or enforce a advanced endpoint defense malware detection policy at the realm level to make the policy effective on client computers.)

230

Creating global Host Checker policies

Chapter 11: Host Checker

NOTE: When enforcing advanced endpoint defense malware detection policies, note that:

You cannot modify these policiesonly enable or disable them. Also, since you cannot modify these policies, the IVE does not display them in the Policies section of the Authentication > Endpoint Security > Host Checker page with other configurable policies. If your concurrent user licenses for the IVE and Whole Security do not match, you are constrained by the lesser of the two licenses. For example, if you have a license that allows 100 concurrent IVE users and another license that allows for 50 concurrent Whole Security users, this constraint allows only 50 concurrent users to access an IVE enabled with Advanced Endpoint Defense Malware Protection policies. If you have licensed GINA and Whole Security, you should be aware that GINA runs prior to the users Windows logon, and the download of the Whole Security Confidence Online software occurs after the user signs in to Windows. Therefore, Whole Security does not perform its stated malware protection until after Windows logon. If you are using Network Connect, Host Checker, GINA, and Whole Security, but the end-user is not in user mode when their system tries to initiate Host Checker, the end-user may receive errors. Make certain you have configured the system to start GINA prior to the Windows logon, and Whole Security after Windows logon.

NOTE: The Whole Security Confidence Online feature supported by Host Checker cannot be localized currently. For more information about localizing the IVE, see Localizing the user interface on page 844.

Creating and configuring new client-side policies

You can create a variety of policies through the Host Checker client that check for antivirus software, firewalls, malware, spyware, and specific operating systems from a wide variety of industry leaders. You can also create checks for custom third-party DLLs, ports, processes, files, and registry keys. When creating the policies, you must define the policy name, enable pre-defined rules, or create custom rules that run the specified checks. Optionally, you can specify how Host Checker should evaluate multiple rules within a single policy. When creating the policies, you must define the policy name, and either enable pre-defined rules, or create custom rules that run the specified checks.

Configuring virus signature version monitoring

You can configure Host Checker to monitor and verify that the virus signatures installed on client computers are up to date. Host Checker uses a list of the current virus signatures from the vendor(s) you specify for pre-defined antivirus rules in a Host Checker policy. If a client computer does not have the current virus signatures installed, the Host Checker policy fails. You can obtain the current virus signatures list from a staging site at Juniper Networks. You can manually download and import the current list into the IVE, or you can automatically import the current list from the Juniper Networks staging site or your own staging site at a specified interval. For example, you might want to manually download and import the current virus signatures list from a network server or local drive if you want to first test the list, or if the IVE is unable to automatically access the Juniper Networks staging site. Or, you can manually download the current list to a local staging site on your internal network, and then automatically import the list from that internal staging site. To configure virus signature version monitoring: 1. While adding a pre-defined antivirus rule on the Authentication > Endpoint Security > Host Checker > Select Policy > Add Predefined Rule: Antivirus page, select the Virus signatures must be up to date option. (See Checking for third-party applications using pre-defined rules (Windows only) on page 232.) 2. Choose Authentication > Endpoint Security > Host Checker. 3. Click Virus signature version monitoring. 4. To configure the IVE to automatically import the current virus signatures list: a. Select Auto-update virus signatures list.

b. For Download path, enter the URL of the staging site where the current virus signatures list is stored. You can specify the URL of the Juniper Networks staging site or your own staging site. The default URL is the path to the Juniper Networks staging site:
https://download.juniper.net/software/av/uac/avupdate.dat

c.

For Download interval, specify how often you want the IVE to automatically import the current virus signatures list.

d. If the staging site is password protected, enter the credentials in Username and Password. To access the Juniper Networks staging site, you must enter the credentials for a Juniper Networks Support account. You can also use basic HTTP authentication to protect and access your own staging site. 5. To manually import the current virus signatures list: a. Download the virus signatures list from the staging site to a network server or local drive on your computer.

NOTE: If you use your own staging site for storing the current virus signatures list, you must upload the trusted root certificate of the CA that signed the stagings server certificate to the IVE. For more information, see Uploading trusted server CA certificates on page 621.

Upgrading the Endpoint Security Assessment Plug-in

The Endpoint Security Assessment Plug-in (ESAP) on the IVE checks third-party applications on endpoints for compliance with the pre-defined rules you configure in a Host Checker policy. (See Checking for third-party applications using predefined rules (Windows only) on page 232.) This plug-in is included in the IVE system software package. Juniper Networks frequently adds enhancements, bug fixes, and support for new third-party applications to the plug-in. New plug-in releases are available independently and more frequently than new releases of the IVE system software package. If necessary, you can upgrade the plug-in on the IVE independently of upgrading the IVE system software package. You can upload up to four versions of the plug-in to the IVE, but the IVE uses only one version at a time (called the active version). If necessary, you can rollback to a previously active version of the plug-in. To upgrade the Endpoint Security Assessment Plug-in: 1. Download the Endpoint Security Assessment Plug-in from the Juniper Networks Customer Support Center to your computer: a. Open the following page:
https://www.juniper.net/customers/csc/software/ive/

b. To access the Customer Support Center, enter a user name and password for a Juniper Networks Support account. c. Click the ESAP link.

d. Download the plug-in zip file to your computer. 2. Choose Authentication > Endpoint Security > Host Checker. 3. At the bottom of the Host Checker page under Manage Endpoint Security Assessment Plug-In Versions: a. If you have previously uploaded four versions of the component software, you must delete one of the versions before you can upload another one. Select the version you want to delete and click Delete.

b. If you want the IVE to actively begin using the new component software immediately after you upload it, select the Set as active after upload option. c. Click Browse, select the plug-in file you want to upload to the IVE, and click OK.

d. Click Upload. While the IVE uploads and decrypts the plug-in .zip file, the message Loading... appears in the plug-in list under Manage Endpoint Security Assessment Plug-In Versions. If the IVE is a member of a cluster, the IVE displays the message Loading... while the plug-in is transferred to the other cluster nodes. After the plug-in is installed, the date and time of the plug-in installation appears in the plug-in list. e. If you did not select the Set as active after upload option, activate the plug-in you want to use by selecting the version in the plug-in list and clicking Activate.

NOTE:

If you attempt to activate a version of the plug-in that does not support all of the pre-defined rules already configured in all Host Checker policies, the IVE does not allow activation of that plug-in version. For example, if a Host Checker policy is configured to use a pre-defined rule to check for a version of antivirus software, and you attempt to activate a plug-in version that does not support that particular version of the antivirus software, the IVE does not allow you to activate that plug-in version. To view the list of supported products for a particular plug-in version, click the plug-ins version number under Manage Endpoint Security Assessment Plug-In Versions. You can rollback to an older plug-in version after upgrading to a later version by selecting the older version as the active version. But, if you modified any Host Checker policies after upgrading to the later version, the rollback may not succeed. Rollback is guaranteed to succeed only if the policies did not change. If you upgrade the IVE system software to a newer version, or you import a user configuration file, the currently active plug-in version does not change. If you want to use a different plug-in version after upgrading or importing a user configuration file, you must manually activate that plug-in version. If the IVE already has four versions of the plug-in installed when you upgrade the IVE system software to a newer version, the IVE automatically deletes the oldest plug-in version and installs, but does not activate, the plug-in included with the new IVE system software.

Specifying customized requirements using custom rules

If the pre-defined client-side policies and rules that come with the IVE do not meet your needs, you can create custom rules within a Host Checker policy to define requirements that your users computers must meet. Using custom rules, you can: Configure Host Checker to check for custom DLLs that perform customized client-side checks.

Verify that certain ports are open or closed on the users computer. Confirm that certain processes are or are not running on the users computer. Check that certain files are or are not present on the client machine. Evaluate the age and content of required files through MD5 checksums. Confirm that registry keys are set on the client machine.

NOTE: You can only check for registry keys and custom third-party DLLs on Windows computers.

To create a client-side Host Checker policy: 1. In the admin console, choose Authentication > Endpoint Security > Host Checker. 2. Create a new policy using instructions in Creating and configuring new clientside policies on page 231 or click on an existing policy in the Policies section of the page. 3. Click the tab that corresponds to the operating system for which you want to specify Host Checker optionsWindows, Mac, or Linux. In the same policy, you can specify different Host Checker requirements on each operating system. For example, you can create one policy that checks for different files or processes on each operating system. 4. Under Rule Settings, choose one of the following options and click Add. The Add Custom Rule page for the rule type appears. 3rd Party NHC Check (Windows only)Use this rule type to specify the location of a custom DLL that you write with the Host Check Client Interface. Host Checker calls the DLL to perform customized client-side checks. If the DLL returns a success value to Host Checker, then the IVE considers the rule met. (For information about creating a custom DLL using the Host Check Client Interface, see the J.E.D.I. Solution Guide on the Juniper Networks Customer Support Center.) In the 3rd Party NHC Check configuration page: i. ii. Enter a name and vendor for the 3rd Party NHC Check rule Enter the location of the DLL on client machines (path and file name).

FileUse this rule type to ensure that certain files are present or not present on the client machine before the user can access the IVE. You may also use file checks to evaluate the age and content (through MD5 checksums) of required files and allow or deny access accordingly. In the Files configuration page: i. ii. Enter a name for the file rule. Enter the name of a file (any file type), such as: c:\temp\bad-file.txt or
/temp/bad-file.txt.

You can use a wildcard character to specify the file name. For example:
*.txt

You can also use an environment variable to specify the directory path to the file. (You cannot use a wildcard character in the directory path.) Enclose the variable between the <% and %> characters. For example:
<%windir%>\bad-file.txt

For more information, see Using a wildcard or environment variable in a Host Checker rule on page 241. iii. Select Required to require that this file is present on the client machine or Deny to require that this file is not present. iv. Specify the minimum version of the file (optional). For example, if you require notepad.exe to be present on the client, you can enter 5.0 in the field. Host Checker accepts version 5.0 and above, of notepad.exe. v. Specify the maximum age (File modified less than n days) (in days) for a file (optional). If the file is older than the specified number of days, then the client does not meet the attribute check requirement.

NOTE: You can use the maximum age option to check the age of virus signatures. Make sure you specify the path to a file in the File Name field whose timestamp indicates when virus signatures were last updated, such as a virus signature database or log file that updates each time the database updates. For example, if you use TrendMicro, you may specify: C:\Program Files\Trend Micro\OfficeScan Client\TmUpdate.ini.

vi. Specify the MD5 checksum value of each file to which you want the policy to apply (optional). On Macintosh and Linux, you can determine the MD5 checksum by using this command:

Registry Setting (Windows only)Use this rule type to control the corporate PC images, system configurations, and software settings that a client must have in order to access the IVE. This rule type ensures that certain registry keys are set on the client machine before the user can access the IVE. You may also use registry checks to evaluate the age of required files and allow or deny access accordingly. In the Registry Settings configuration page: i. ii. Enter a name for the registry setting rule. Select a root key from the drop-down list.

iii. Enter the path to the application folder for the registry subkey. iv. Enter the name of the keys value that you want to require (optional). This name appears in the Name column of the Registry Editor. v. Select the key values type (String, Binary, or DWORD) from the dropdown list (optional). This type appears in the Type column of the Registry Editor.

vi. Specify the required registry key value (optional). This information appears in the Data column of the Registry Editor. If the key value represents an application version, select Minimum version to allow the specified version or newer versions of the application. For example, you can use this option to specify version information for an antivirus application to make sure that the client antivirus software is current. The IVE uses lexical sorting to determine if the client contains the specified version or higher. For example: 3.3.3 is newer than 3.3 4.0 is newer than 3.3 4.0a is newer than 4.0b 4.1 is newer than 3.3.1 vii. Click Save Changes.

NOTE: If you specify only the key and subkey, Host Checker simply verifies the existence of the subkey folder in the registry.

5. Optionally add additional rules to the policy, specify how Host Checker should evaluate multiple rules within the policy, and define remediation options using instructions in Creating and configuring new client-side policies on page 231.

<%APPDATA%> <%windir%> <%ProgramFiles%> <%CommonProgramFiles%> <%USERPROFILE%> <%HOMEDRIVE%> <%Temp%>

Example Windows Value

C:\Documents and Settings\jdoe\Application Data C:\WINDOWS C:\Program Files C:\Program Files\Common Files C:\Documents and Settings\jdoe C: C:\Documents and Settings \<user name>\Local Settings\Temp

In an Custom File rule for Macintosh and Linux, you can use the following environment variables to specify the directory path to a file:
Table 17: Environment variables for specifying a directory path on Macintosh and Linux Environment variable Example Macintosh Value
<%java.home%> <%java.io.tmpdir%> <%user.dir%> <%user.home%>

Evaluating multiple rules in a single Host Checker policy

If you choose to include multiple rules within a single client-side policy, you must specify how Host Checker should evaluate those rules. To specify requirements for multiple rules within a Host Checker policy: 1. In the admin console, choose Authentication > Endpoint Security > Host Checker. 2. In the Policies section of the page, click on an existing policy that includes multiple rules. 3. In the Require section, select one of the following options: All of the above rulesSelect this option to specify that the users computer must return a success value for all of the policys rules in order to gain access. Any of the above rulesSelect this option to specify that the users computer must return a success value for any of the policys rules in order to gain access. CustomSelect this option to customize the rules that the users computer must meet in order to gain access. Then, create the custom rule using instructions in the following step. 4. (Custom expressions only) If you want to use alternative sets of rules in the policy, combine rules with Boolean operators (AND, OR) using the following guidelines: Enter the name of the rules in the Rules expression text box. Use the AND operator to require two rules or sets of rules to return a true value. Use the OR operator to require either of two rules or sets to return a true value. Use parenthesis to combine sets of rules. For example, you can use the following expression to require a personal firewall to run, and require either of two possible antivirus products to run:
ZoneLabsFirewall AND (McAfeeAntivirus OR NortonAntivirus)

Enabling customized server-side policies

For Windows clients, you can create global Host Checker policies which take a J.E.D.I. DLL that you upload to the IVE and run it on client machines. For more information about creating these policies, see the J.E.D.I. Solution Guide on the Juniper Networks Customer Support Center.

Chapter 11: Host Checker

Uploading a Host Checker policy package to the IVE

In order for the IVE to recognize a package definition file, you must: 1. Name the package definition file MANIFEST.HCIF and include it a folder named META-INF. 2. Create a Host Checker policy package by creating a zip archive. The archive should include the META-INF folder that contains the MANIFEST.HCIF file along with the interface DLL and any initialization files. For example, Host Checker policy package might contain:
META-INF/MANIFEST.HCIF hcif-myPestPatrol.dll hcif-myPestPatrol.ini

3. Upload the Host Checker package (or packages) to the IVE using the instructions in Enabling customized server-side policies on page 242. You can upload multiple policy packages to the IVE, each containing a different MANIFEST.HCIF file.
NOTE: After you upload a Host Checker policy package to the IVE, you cannot modify the package contents on the server. Instead, you must modify the package on your local system and then upload the modified version to the IVE.

Host Checker creates tunnels for all of the tunnel definitions in all of the
MANIFEST.HCIF files, assuming the definitions are unique. To view the list of

pre-authentication access tunnel definition(s) for a policy package, click the name of the policy package under 3rd Party Policy on the Host Checker Configuration page. The IVE lists the tunnel definition(s) under Host Checker Preauth Access Tunnels on the 3rd Party Policy page. 4. Implement the policy at the realm, role, or resource policy levels using the options described in Configuring Host Checker restrictions on page 253. If you want to verify that the package itself is installed and running on the client computer (as opposed to a specific policy in the package passing or failing) you can use the name you specified when you uploaded the policy package (for example, myPestPatrol). To enforce a particular policy in the package, use the syntax <PackageName>.<PolicyName>. For example, to enforce the FileCheck policy in the myPestPatrol package, use myPestPatrol.FileCheck. For instructions, see Configuring Host Checker restrictions on page 253. To enable a customized server-side Host Checker policy: 1. In the admin console, choose Authentication > Endpoint Security > Host Checker. 2. Under Policies, click New 3rd Party Policy. 3. Enter a name to identify your zip file on the IVE. 4. Browse to the local directory where your zip file is located.

Enabling the Secure Virtual Workspace

The Secure Virtual Workspace guarantees the integrity of IVE session data on a client machine running Windows 2000 or Windows XP by creating a protected workspace on the client desktop. By enabling the Secure Virtual Workspace, you ensure that any end-user signing in to your intranet must perform all interactions within a completely protected environment. If the users applications and interactions result in data being written to disk or to the registry, the Secure Virtual Workspace encrypts that information. When the IVE session is complete, the Secure Virtual Workspace destroys all information pertaining to itself or to the session, by default. However, you can configure the state of this type of information to suit your particular needs. For example, you might decide to allow data to persist across Secure Virtual Workspace sessions. The IVE follows the DoD 5220.M cleaning and sanitization standard for securely deleting Secure Virtual Workspace data that is stored on the hard disk. The Secure Virtual Workspace: Removes workspace data and resources when the session ends. Ensures that no browser Helper Objects latch onto an Internet Explorer process before launching IE. Prohibits desktop search products from intercepting Web traffic and indexing the contents. Enters all of its configuration and run-time operations in IVE logs. The IVE hosts the Secure Virtual Workspace binary, which the client system downloads from the IVE whenever a user connects. The Secure Virtual Workspace creates a virtual file system and a virtual registry on the client. You define and configure the applications that are allowed to run within the Secure Virtual Workspace. For example, you can configure the following types of application configurations: Restrict launching of Internet Explorer and Outlook to the Secure Virtual Workspace. Restrict application installations and executions within a Secure Virtual Workspace session. This ensures that even the application binaries are completely removed from the client machine after the session ends.

Chapter 11: Host Checker

Secure Virtual Workspace features

The IVE implementation of the Secure Virtual Workspace: Does not require the client desktop user to have administrator privileges to download and run the Secure Virtual Workspace. Supports the use of the Secure Virtual Workspace in conjunction with Host Checker, which will automatically launch in the secure workspace, when initiated. Provides the Secure Virtual Workspace as a J.E.D.I. module, to allow you to create Secure Virtual Workspace policies at the user role or realm level.

Secure Virtual Workspace restrictions and defaults

The Secure Virtual Workspace imposes certain restrictions on its use, and establishes defaults, which you may be able to modify. By default, a platform-specific browser is allowed to run in the SVW, unless explicitly restricted by the administrator. The IVE does not allow software applications that update the HKLM registry entries on installation to operate within the SVW. The IVE does not support the standard JSAM applications Outlook and Netbios file browsing through SVW, since these applications require registry key changes. However, the IVE does support the Citrix and Lotus Notes JSAM standard applications through SVW. By default, the IVE does not allow access to external storage or printing devices by some applications running in the SVW. You can enable access to these devices on a role or realm basis, if needed. By default, end-users are unable to access network shares, unless you configure access to network shares in the SVW policy. If your end-users use firewalls or other applications that run in the kernel space, they may experience problems when trying to download IVE client components in SVW. Low-level administrative applications may display message boxes requiring user interaction. If you set the option to allow switching to the default or real desktop, the user may be able to dismiss the message boxes. If the switching option is disabled, users may be unable to fix the problem. The Secure Virtual Workspace does not support 16-bit applications. Some Windows keyboard shortcuts may not work properly inside an SVW session. To display the Windows Task Manager while in SVW, you cannot use the standard keyboard shortcut Ctrl+Alt+Del. You must right-click on the Windows taskbar (typically on the bottom of the screen, unless you have moved it) to display a popup menu, from which you can select Task Manager.

Enabling the Secure Virtual Workspace

Juniper Networks Secure Access Administration Guide

If you set the Host Checker status update interval to a value of zero (0), Host Checker will perform the status check once and then quit. If Host Checker quits, SVW also quits. As a result, the end-user is unable to initiate an SVW session. Set the Host Checker status update interval to a non-zero value. SVW only scans for file system drives when the user first starts his session. If the user starts a session and then adds a drive (such as a USB drive), he will not be able to access the drive during that session.

Configuring the Secure Virtual Workspace

You configure the Secure Virtual Workspace within the context of a Host Checker policy and all Secure Virtual Workspace policies you define appear in a list at Authentication > Endpoint Security > Host Checker.
NOTE: Because the Secure Virtual Workspace session data is stored on the endusers real desktop, you should implement the persistence feature only if each of your end-users always uses the same client machine.

NOTE: No provision has been made to ensure that you cannot configure a sign-in URL mapping to more than one realm configured with an SVW policy. If you configure multiple mappings to more than one realm, the results are unpredictable. You must explicitly configure the secure virtual desktop to allow only one SVW policy to be evaluated at the user end.

Defining Secure Virtual Workspace permissions

You can specify which devices and resources the end-user can access when using the Secure Virtual Workspace. To define a new Secure Virtual Workspace permissions policy: 1. In the admin console, choose Authentication > Endpoint Security > Host Checker. 2. Under Policies, click New Secure Virtual Workspace Policy. 3. Under Permissions, check the appropriate checkboxes for the items to which you want to grant permissions: PrintersSelect to allow end-user access to network printers. Restricted View of FilesWhen Restricted View is set, only the directories Documents and Settings, Program Files, and the Windows system folders on the system drive (typically c:) are available within SVW.

NOTE: If you set the Restricted View of Files option, and your end-users configure partitioned drives, they will be unable to access any applications or files residing on any drive other than the system (c:) drive. If you allow your end-users to partition drives, you should not use the Restricted View.

Removable DrivesSelect to allow end-user access to removable drives on the end-users client machine. If an end-user installs a USB removable storage device he may experience the two following behaviors, depending also on how you set this option: If the user connects the USB device before initiating an SVW session, the device will appear to be a fixed hard drive and the user will not be able to read or write to the device during an SVW session, even when you have set the Removable Drives option. If the user connects the USB device after initiating an SVW session, the device appears to be removable media and the user can access it, if you have set the Removable Drives option when configuring SVW. Network Share AccessSelect to allow end-user access to network share drives. Switch to Real DesktopSelect to allow end-user to toggle between the Secure Virtual Workspace and the end-users client desktop. Desktop PersistenceSelect to allow end-users to maintain a Secure Virtual Workspace across client sessions on NTFS file systems only.
NOTE:

Desktop persistence and switching are not supported on FAT16 or FAT32 file systems. If you select this option, note that multiple users using the same password to encrypt their SVW workspace on the same host could gain access to the persistent data storage protected by that static password. We recommend that your users employ strong password when securing their SVW persistent data store on multi-user systems. 4. Continue to define the policy or click Save Changes.

Defining a Secure Virtual Workspace application policy

You can specify which applications the end-user can install or run when using the Secure Virtual Workspace. To define a new Secure Virtual Workspace application policy: 1. In the admin console, choose Authentication > Endpoint Security > Host Checker. 2. Under Policies, click New Secure Virtual Workspace Policy or click the hyperlinked name of an existing Secure Virtual Workspace policy. 3. Under Applications, select the checkboxes for the types of applications you want to enable:

Command windowSelect to allow the end-user to access the Windows Command window (cmd.exe) and execute commands while in the Secure Virtual Workspace. Custom applicationsYou can identify custom applications that the enduser is allowed to run while in the Secure Virtual Workspace. For example, you might include in-house applications, non-default browsers, and other types of applications. Enter one application, including the .exe extension per line in the multiline text box. You can also use the * wildcard for an entire class of applications, and you can include an optional MD5 hash value following the executable name and a comma, telnet.exe,0414ea8. Applications to denyYou can identify applications you want to restrict from end-user use while in the Secure Virtual Workspace. Enter one application, including the extension for each executable per line in the multiline text box.

NOTE:

Any custom application that is not listed in the Custom applications field is denied by default. If you add the same application to the Custom applications text box and to the Applications to deny text box, the deny action takes precedence and users will be denied access to the application SVW sessions. Be aware that this can happen if you use wildcards to specify applications in both lists. For example, if you specify *plore.exe in the allow list and iex*.exe in the deny list, then iexplore.exe will be denied. 4. Continue to define the policy or click Save Changes. After you define one or more Virtual Workspace policies, you must enable them as Realm authentication policies at the user level, as described in Implementing Host Checker policies on page 251.

Chapter 11: Host Checker

Implementing Host Checker policies

After you create global policies through the Authentication > Endpoint Security > Host Checker page of the admin console, you can restrict IVE and resource access by requiring Host Checker in a: Realm authentication policyWhen administrators or users try to sign in to the IVE, the IVE evaluates the specified realms authentication policy to determine if the pre-authentication requirements include Host Checker. You can configure a realm authentication policy to download Host Checker, launch Host Checker and enforce Host Checker policies specified for the realm, or not require Host Checker. The user must sign in using a computer that adheres to the Host Checker requirements specified for the realm. If the users computer does not meet the requirements, then the IVE denies access to the user unless you configure remediation actions to help the user bring his computer into compliance. You can configure realm-level restrictions through the Administrators > Admin Realms > SelectRealm > Authentication Policy > Host Checker page or the Users > User Realms > SelectRealm > Authentication Policy > Host Checker page of the admin console. RoleWhen the IVE determines the list of eligible roles to which it can map an administrator or user, it evaluates each roles restrictions to determine if the role requires that the users computer adheres to certain Host Checker policies. If it does and the user's computer does not follow the specified Host Checker policies, then the IVE does not map the user to that role unless you configure remediation actions to help the user bring his computer into compliance. You can configure role-mapping using settings in the Users > User Realms > SelectRealm > Role Mapping page. You can configure role-level restrictions through the Administrators > Admin Roles > SelectRole > General > Restrictions > Host Checker page of the admin console or the Users > User Roles> SelectRole > General > Restrictions > Host Checker page. Resource policyWhen a user requests a resource, the IVE evaluates the resource policys detailed rules to determine if the resource requires that the users computer adheres to certain Host Checker policies. The IVE denies access to the resource if the user's computer does not follow the specified Host Checker policies unless you configure remediation actions to help the user bring his computer into compliance. To implement Host Checker restrictions at the resource policy level, use settings in the Users > Resource Policies > SelectResource > SelectPolicy > Detailed Rules page. You may specify that the IVE evaluate your Host Checker policies only when the user first tries to access the realm, role, or resource that references the Host Checker policy. Or, you may specify that the IVE periodically re-evaluate the policies throughout the users session. If you choose to periodically evaluate Host Checker policies, the IVE dynamically maps users to roles and allows users access to new resources based on the most recent evaluation.

Implementing Host Checker policies

251

Juniper Networks Secure Access Administration Guide

Executing Host Checker policies

When the user tries to access the IVE, Host Checker evaluates its policies in the following order: 1. Initial evaluationWhen a user first tries to access the IVE sign-in page, Host Checker performs an initial evaluation. Using the rules you specify in your policies, Host Checker verifies that the client meets your endpoint requirements and returns its results to the IVE. Host Checker performs an initial evaluation regardless of whether you have implemented Host Checker policies at the realm, role, or resource policy level. If the user navigates away from the IVE sign-in page after Host Checker starts running but before signing in to the IVE, Host Checker continues to run on the users machine until the Host Checker process times out. If the IVE does not receive a result from Host Checker for any reason (including because the user manually terminated Host Checker), the IVE displays an error and directs the user back to the sign-in page. Otherwise, if the Host Checker process returns a result, the IVE goes on to evaluate the realm level policies. 2. Realm-level policiesThe IVE uses the results from Host Checkers initial evaluation to determine which realms the user may access. Then, the IVE displays or hides realms from the user, only allowing him to sign into those realms that you enable for the sign-in page, and if he meets the Host Checker requirements for each realm. If the user cannot meet the Host Checker conditions required by any of the available realms, the IVE does not display the sign-in page. Instead, it displays an error stating the user has no access unless you configure remediation actions to help the user bring his computer into compliance. Note that Host Checker only performs realm-level checks when the user first signs into the IVE. If the state of the users system changes during his session, the IVE does not remove him from the current realm or allow him access to a new realm based on his new system state. 3. Role-level policiesAfter the user signs into a realm, the IVE evaluates rolelevel policies and maps the user to the role or roles if he meets the Host Checker requirements for those role(s). Then, the IVE displays the IVE homepage to the user and enables those options that the mapped role(s) allow. If Host Checker returns a different status during a periodic evaluation, the IVE dynamically remaps the user to roles based on the new results. If the user loses rights to all available roles during one of the periodic evaluations, the IVE disconnects the users session unless you configure remediation actions to help the user bring his computer into compliance. 4. Resource-level policiesAfter the IVE allows the user to access the homepage, the user may try to access a resource that is controlled by a resource policy. When he does, the IVE determines whether or not to perform the action specified in the resource policy based on the last status returned by Host Checker.

252

Implementing Host Checker policies

Chapter 11: Host Checker

If Host Checker returns a different status during a periodic evaluation, the new status only impacts new resources that the user tries to access. For example, if the user successfully initiates a Network Connect session and then fails his next resource-level host check, he may continue to access the open Network Connect session. The IVE only denies him access if he tries to open a new Network Connect session. The IVE checks the last status returned by Host Checker whenever the user tries to access a new Web resource or open a new Secure Application Manager, Network Connect, or Secure Terminal Access session. With either a success or fail result, Host Checker remains on the client. Windows users may manually uninstall the agent by running uninstall.exe in the directory where Host Checker is installed. If you enable client-side logging through the System > Log/Monitoring > Client Logs page, this directory also contains a log file, which the IVE rewrites each time Host Checker runs. If you enable dynamic policy evaluation for Host Checker (see Dynamic policy evaluation on page 40), the IVE evaluates resource policies implemented at the realm level whenever a users Host Checker status changes. If you do not enable dynamic policy evaluation for Host Checker, the IVE does not evaluate resource policies but it does evaluate the authentication policy, role mapping rules, and role restrictions whenever a users Host Checker status changes. For configuration instructions, see Specifying general Host Checker options on page 262.

Configuring Host Checker restrictions

To specify Host Checker restrictions: 1. Navigate to: Authentication > Endpoint Security > Host Checker and specify global options for Host Checker to apply to any user for whom Host Checker is required in an authentication policy, a role mapping rule, or a resource policy. 2.

255

Juniper Networks Secure Access Administration Guide

User-drivenUsing custom instructions, you can inform the user about the failed policy and how to make his computer conform. The user must take action to successfully re-evaluate the failed policy. For instance, you can create a custom page that is linked to a policy server or Web page and enables the user to bring his computer into compliance. Automatic (system-driven)You can configure Host Checker to automatically remediate the users computer. For example, you can kill processes, delete files, or launch an alternate policy when the initial policy fails. On Windows, you can also call the HCIF_Module.Remediate () API function as part of a J.E.D.I. DLL. Host Checker does not inform users when performing automatic actions. (You could, however, include information in your custom instructions about the automatic actions.) You can enable these remediation actions in both client-side and server-side policies. For configuration instructions, see Creating and configuring new clientside policies on page 231 or Enabling customized server-side policies on page 242.

Host Checker remediation user experience

Users may see the remediation page in the following situations: Before the user signs in: If you enable custom instructions for a policy that fails, the IVE displays the remediation page to the user. The user has two choices: Take the appropriate actions to make his computer conform to the policy and then click the Try Again button on the remediation page. Host Checker checks the users computer again for compliance with the policy. Leave his computer in its current state and click the Continue button to sign in to the IVE. He cannot access the realm, role, or resource that requires compliance with the failed policy.
NOTE: If you do not configure the IVE with at least one realm that allows access without enforcing a Host Checker policy, the user must bring his computer into compliance before signing into the IVE.

If you do not enable custom instructions for a policy that fails, Host Checker does not display the remediation page to the user. Instead, the IVE displays the sign-in page but does not allow the user to access any realms, roles, or resources that have a failed Host Checker policy. After the user signs in: (Windows only) During a session, if a users Windows computer becomes non-compliant with the requirements of a Host Checker policy, an icon appears in the system tray along with a pop-up message that informs the user of the non-compliance. The user can then click the pop-up message to display the remediation page.

Chapter 11: Host Checker

(Macintosh or Linux) During a session, if a users Macintosh or Linux computer becomes non-compliant with the requirements of a Host Checker policy, the IVE displays the remediation page to inform the user of the non-compliance.

NOTE: If the user hides the remediation page by setting a user preference, he may only continue using the secure gateway if you configure other realms and roles that do not enforce a Host Checker policy.

Configuring Host Checker remediation

To specify remediation actions for a Host Checker policy: 1. In the admin console, choose Authentication > Endpoint Security > Host Checker. 2. Create or enable Host Checker policies using instructions in either of the following sections: Creating and configuring new client-side policies on page 231 Enabling customized server-side policies on page 242 3. Specify the remediation actions that you want Host Checker to perform if a users computer does not meet the requirements of the current policy: Enable Custom InstructionsEnter the instructions you want to display to the user on the Host Checker remediation page. You can use the following HTML tags to format text and add links to resources such as policy servers or web sites: <i>, <b>, <br>, <font>, and <a href>. For example:
You do not have the latest signature files. <a href="www.company.com">Click here to download the latest signature files.</a>

NOTE: For Windows clients, if you include in the instructions a link to an IVEprotected policy server, define a pre-authentication access tunnel. For information, see Specifying Host Checker pre-authentication access tunnel definitions on page 259.

Juniper Networks Secure Access Administration Guide

Evaluate other policiesYou can select one or more alternate policies that you want Host Checker to evaluate if the users computer does not meet the current policy requirements. For example, if a user attempts to access the IVE from an outside client computer such as a kiosk, you can use this option to evaluate an alternate policy that requires the user to access the IVE in a Sygate Virtual Desktop environment. Select the alternate policy in the HC Policies list and then click Add.
NOTE: If you configure an alternate policy to use its own alternate policy, Host Checker does not evaluate that second-level alternate policy for the current policy. In other words, Host Checker only evaluates one alternate policy per transaction.

Remediate(Third party DLLs only) You can select this option to perform remediation actions specified by means of the Remediate () API function in a third-party J.E.D.I. DLL. For more information, see the J.E.D.I. Solution Guide on the Juniper Networks Customer Support Center. Kill ProcessesOn each line, enter the name of one or more processes you want to kill if the users computer does not meet the policy requirements. You can include an optional MD5 checksum for the process. (You cannot use wildcards in the process name.) For example:
keylogger.exe MD5: 6A7DFAF12C3183B56C44E89B12DBEF56

Delete FilesEnter the names of files you want to delete if the users computer does not meet the policy requirements. (You cannot use wildcards in the file name.) Enter one file name per line. For example:
c:\temp\bad-file.txt /temp/bad-file.txt

4. Click Save Changes.

Defining Host Checker pre-authentication access tunnels

If your policies require Host Checker rules or third-party J.E.D.I. DLLs to access a policy server (or other resource) to check compliance before users are authenticated, you can use one of the following methods to make the resource available to the Host Checker Windows clients: Deploy the policy server in a DMZ where Host Checker rules or third-party J.E.D.I. DLLs can access the server directly instead of going through the IVEThis deployment is the simplest solution because you do not have to define a Host Checker pre-authentication access tunnel through the IVE between clients and the policy server.

258

Defining Host Checker pre-authentication access tunnels

Chapter 11: Host Checker

Deploy the policy server in a protected zone behind the IVE (Windows only)This deployment requires you to define a pre-authentication access tunnel. A pre-authentication access tunnel enables Host Checker rules or thirdparty J.E.D.I. DLLs to access the IVE-protected policy server or resource before the IVE authenticates users. To define a pre-authentication access tunnel, you associate a loopback address (or host name) and port on the client with an IP address and port on the policy server. You add one or more tunnel definitions to a MANIFEST.HCIF file, which you then upload to the IVE. You can upload multiple MANIFEST.HCIF files to the IVE. For all third-party policies enabled on a realm, Host Checker creates tunnels for all of the tunnel definitions in all of the MANIFEST.HCIF files, assuming the definitions are unique. For configuration instructions, see Uploading a Host Checker policy package to the IVE on page 243. While running on a Windows client, Host Checker listens for a connection on each loopback address and port you specify in the tunnel definitions. The connections can originate from the integrated Host Checker rules and from client-side or server-side J.E.D.I. DLLs. Host Checker uses the preauthentication access tunnel(s) to forward the connections through the IVE to the policy server(s) or other resource.
Figure 34: Host Checker creates a tunnel from a client to a policy server behind the IVE

NOTE: Host Checker pre-authentication access tunnels are supported on Windows only.

Specifying Host Checker pre-authentication access tunnel definitions

For Windows clients, you can define a pre-authentication access tunnel that enables Host Checker methods or third-party J.E.D.I. DLLs to access an IVEprotected policy server (or other resource) before users are authenticated. A definition for a Host Checker pre-authentication access tunnel configures access to one policy server or other resource. Each tunnel definition consists of a pair of IP addresses and ports: one loopback IP address and port on the client, and one IP address and port on the policy server.

Defining Host Checker pre-authentication access tunnels

259

Juniper Networks Secure Access Administration Guide

You specify one or more tunnel definition(s) in a Host Checker policy package definition file. The package definition file, which must be named MANIFEST.HCIF, defines the name of an interface DLL, the Host Checker policies defined in the DLL, and the pre-authentication access tunnel definitions. Note that if you do not include policies in your package, Host Checker simply enforces that the package has run on the client. If you do declare policies through this file, they become available through the admin console where you can implement them at the realm, role, and resource policy levels. Within the MANIFEST.HCIF file, you must include one definition per line, with a blank line between each definition, using the following format:
HCIF-Main: <DLLName> HCIF-Policy: <PolicyName> HCIF-IVE-Tunnel: <client-loopback>:port where: <DLLName> is the name of the interface DLL, such as myPestPatrol.dll. Even if you

<policy-server>:port

are not using an interface DLL, you must include a dummy DLL as a placeholder file that has this exact name.
<PolicyName> is the name of a policy defined in the DLL, such as myFileCheck. You can define multiple policies by using the HCIF-Policy statement for each policy. If

you are not using an interface DLL, you can use any policy name as a placeholder. The syntax of a Host Checker tunnel definition is:
HCIF-IVE-Tunnel: <client-loopback>:port <policy-server>:port

where:
<client-loopback> is a loopback address that begins with 127. and takes any of the following forms:

An IP address and port that takes the form of 127.*.*.*:port. To avoid conflicts with JSAM, do not use 127.0.0.1 with port 80, but you can use 127.0.0.1 with other ports. For example: 127.0.0.1:3220 A host name that resolves to a loopback address that begins with 127. You can use a local hosts file on each client computer or a DNS server to resolve the loopback address. A host name that does not resolve to a loopback address, or resolves to a nonloopback address. In these cases, Host Checker allocates a loopback address and updates the local hosts file on the client with the mapping. Note that the user must have administrator privileges in order for Host Checker to modify the local hosts file. If the user does not have administrator privileges, Host Checker cannot update the hosts file and cannot open the pre-authentication access tunnel. In that case, Host Checker logs an error.
<policy-server> is the IP address or host name of the back-end policy server. The IVE

resolves the host name you specify.

260

Defining Host Checker pre-authentication access tunnels

Chapter 11: Host Checker

For example, in the following tunnel definition, 127.0.0.1:3220 is the client loopback address and port, and mysygate.company.com:5500 is the policy server host name and port:
HCIF-IVE-Tunnel: 127.0.0.1:3220 mysygate.company.com:5500

Or you can use a host name for the client, as in this example:
HCIF-IVE-Tunnel: mysygate.company.com:3220 mysygate.company.com:5500

Keep the following in mind when specifying tunnel definitions: You must add a blank line between each line in the MANIFEST.HCIF file, and you can use a semi-colon at the beginning of a line to indicate a comment. For example:
HCIF-Main: myPestPatrol.dll HCIF-Policy: myFileCheck HCIF-Policy: myPortCheck ; Tunnel definitions HCIF-IVE-Tunnel: 127.0.0.1:3220 mysygate.company.com:5500 HCIF-IVE-Tunnel: 127.1.1.1:3220 mysygate2.company.com:5500 HCIF-IVE-Tunnel: mysygate.company.com:3220 mysygate3.company.com:5500

Host Checker pre-authentication access tunnels are supported on Windows only. If <client-loopback> is a non-loopback address, then Host Checker cannot open the pre-authentication access tunnel and logs an error instead. If you use a loopback address other than 127.0.0.1 (such as 127.0.0.2 and above), clients who are using Windows XP Service Pack 2 must install the XP SP2 Hot Fix. See:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;884020

Defining Host Checker pre-authentication access tunnels

261

Juniper Networks Secure Access Administration Guide

NOTE: If you are deploying a client-side or server-side third-party DLL, keep the following in mind:

Unzip the server-side third-party DLL package and add the tunnel definitions to the MANIFEST.HCIF file that contain the policies for the third-party DLL. (The DLL must use the same <client-loopback> address and port or host name that you specify in the MANIFEST.HCIF file.) Since a pre-authentication access tunnel is open only while Host Checker is running, a third-party DLL can access its IVE-protected policy server only while Host Checker is running. If a third-party DLL uses HTTPS to connect to its policy server via a host name that resolves properly to the loopback address, no server certificate warnings appear. However, if the third-party DLL connects explicitly via a loopback address, then server certificate warnings do appear because the host name in the certificate does not match the loopback address. (The developer of the third-party DLL can configure the DLL to ignore these warnings.) For more information on third-party DLLs, see the J.E.D.I. Solution Guide on the Juniper Networks Customer Support Center.

Specifying general Host Checker options

You can specify global options for Host Checker that apply to any user for whom Host Checker is required in an authentication policy, a role mapping rule, or a resource policy. To specify general Host Checker options: 1. In the admin console, choose Authentication > Endpoint Security > Host Checker. 2. Under Options: In the Perform check every X minutes field, specify the interval at which you want Host Checker to perform policy evaluation on a client machine. If the client machine fails to meet the requirements of the Host Checker policies required by a role or resource policy, then the IVE denies the associated user requests. For example, you may require that a user runs a specific third-party antivirus application in order to map to Role A, which enables network connections from an external location. If the users client machine is running the required antivirus application when the user signs in to the IVE, then the user maps to Role A and is granted all access features enabled for Role A. If the antivirus application stops running during the user session, however, the next time Host Checker runs, the user fails to meet the security requirements for Role A and therefore loses all access privileges for Role A.
262
Specifying general Host Checker options

Chapter 11: Host Checker

When an end-user logs into a Realm, Host Checker performs an initial policy check, regardless of whether or not the policy is enforced at the Realm, Role, and/or Resource level. The initial policy check establishes a start time. Host Checker evaluates policies at the frequency set by the Perform check every X minutes option starting the clock at the initial policy check. Although the frequency setting is set globally for all Host Checker policy checking, it is not synchronized for all end-user clients connected to the IVE. Each client performs its own initial policy check and starts its own X minute countdown. If you configure the authentication policy within a realm where Host Checker enforces policies (versus installing), the enforcement occurs only during the pre-authentication phase. After an end-user signs in and for the duration of the users session, any subsequent Host Checker policy checks have no impact on realm access, meaning that there is no concept of removing an end-user session from a realm once an end-user successfully authenticates into that realm. If you configure a role restriction where Host Checker enforces policies, the enforcement occurs just after authentication during role mapping. Role restrictions are enforced periodically during the end-user session at an interval specified using the Host Checker frequency setting. If the end-user successfully passes the Host Checker evaluation during role mapping but later fails X minutes after login, that specific user loses rights to that role. If the end-user loses rights to all available roles due to Host Checker policy evaluation, the end-user session is disconnected. If you configure a resource-based policy rule where Host Checker enforces policies, the enforcement occurs when the end-user attempts to access the resource/backend server. For web resources, the Host Checker evaluation occurs at each request. For SAM and STA resources, the Host Checker evaluation occurs when the IVE activates the connection to the backend application/server. For Network Connect access, the Host Checker evaluation occurs when the IVE initiates Network Connect. Existing connections of applications running by way of SAM, Telnet/SSH connection, and Network Connect connections are not affected by further Host Checker evaluations. Only new Web requests, new applications across SAM, new instances of STA, and launching Network Connect are affected. The Host Checker evaluation is based on the most recent policy check that occurred X minutes ago. Example, if you configure the frequency setting to Perform check every five minutes and the end-user attempts to access a protected resource or attempts to launch Network Connect four minutes after the last check, then the policy evaluation is based on the state of the client machine four minutes ago, not at the moment the end-user attempted to access the resource.

NOTE: If you enter a value of zero, Host Checker only runs on the client machine when the user first signs into the IVE.

For the Client-side process, login inactivity timeout option, specify an interval to control timing out in the following situations:

Specifying general Host Checker options

263

Juniper Networks Secure Access Administration Guide

If the user navigates away from the IVE sign-in page after Host Checker starts running but before signing in to the IVE, Host Checker continues to run on the users machine for the interval you specify. If the user is downloading Host Checker over a slow connection, increase the interval to allow enough time for the download to complete.
NOTE: If you configure the Client-side process, login inactivity timeout option for both Host Checker and Cache Cleaner, the IVE uses the larger of the two timeout settings.

Select Perform dynamic policy reevaluation to automatically refresh the roles of individual users by enabling dynamic policy evaluation for Host Checker. Host Checker can trigger the IVE to evaluate resource policies whenever a users Host Checker status changes. (If you do not select this option, the IVE does not evaluate resource policies but it does evaluate the authentication policy, role mapping rules, and role restrictions whenever a users Host Checker status changes.) For more information, see Dynamic policy evaluation on page 40. 3. Click Save Changes.

Specifying Host Checker installation options

If you implement any policy at the realm, role, or resource policy level that requires Host Checker, you must provide a mechanism by which the IVE or the user can install Host Checker on the client machine. Otherwise, when the IVE evaluates the Host Checker policy, the users machine fails because the Host Checker client is not available to return a success status. You can use two methods to install Host Checker on a users system: The IVE automatically installs Host CheckerEnable automatic installation through the Users/Administrators > User Realms/Administrator Realms > [Realm] > Authentication Policy > Host Checker page of the admin console. (For configuration instructions, see Configuring Host Checker restrictions on page 253.) When you do, the IVE evaluates the realm-level option when the user accesses the IVE sign-in page and then determines if the current version of Host Checker is installed on the users machine. If Host Checker is not installed, the IVE attempts to install it using either an ActiveX or a Java delivery method. When a Windows user signs in to the IVE, the IVE attempts to install an ActiveX control on the users system. If the IVE successfully installs the ActiveX control, the control manages the installation of the Host Checker program.

264

Specifying Host Checker installation options

Chapter 11: Host Checker

If the IVE cannot install the ActiveX control because ActiveX is turned off on the users system, the IVE attempts to install Host Checker using Java. For Macintosh and Linux hosts, the IVE always uses the Java delivery method. The Java delivery method requires only user privileges, but Java must be enabled on the users system. For the Firefox browser on Linux, the Java runtime and plug-in must be installed.
NOTE: If Microsoft Vista is running on the users system, the user must click the setup link that appears during the installation process to continue installing the setup client and Host Checker. On all other Microsoft operating systems, the setup client and Host Checker install automatically.

The user or administrator manually installs Host Checker (Windows only) Download the Host Checker installer from the Maintenance > System > Installers page of the admin console and use it to manually install Host Checker on the users system.
NOTE: To install Host Checker, users must have appropriate privileges, as described in the Client-side Changes Guide on the Juniper Networks Customer Support Center. If the user does not have these privileges, use the Juniper Installer Service available from the Maintenance > System > Installers page of the admin console to bypass this requirement.

Using Host Checker with the GINA automatic sign-in function

Using Host Checker in conjunction with the Windows Graphical Identification and Authorization (GINA) sign-in function for Network Connect requires that you pay particular attention to the type, level, and number of items to verify on the client before granting or rejecting access to the IVE. Since the GINA sign-in function takes place before Windows has completely launched on the client, and therefore, before the user profile on Windows is created, we recommend you adopt the following practices when creating Host Checker policies you plan to use for Windows clients featuring the GINA sign-in function: You can check system-level processes at both realm enforce and realm evaluate. You can check user-level processes only at realm evaluate. If you have user-level processes at realm evaluate, create a separate Network Connect role featuring only system-level policy checks that can be performed before Windows has completely launched on the client. Ensure that this role allows connectivity to the Windows Domain infrastructure in your secure network to support drive mapping, software updates, and group policies, for example. Mapping your users to this role allows the GINA authentication to complete. This role is in addition to the final role that you want the user to be mapped.
NOTE: For more information on the GINA automatic sign-in function, see Automatically signing into Network Connect using GINA on page 527.

Automatically install Host Checker

To automatically install Host Checker on client computers: 1. In the admin console, choose Authentication > Endpoint Security > Host Checker. 2. Under Options, select Auto-upgrade Host Checker if you want the IVE to automatically download the Host Checker application to a client computer when the version of Host Checker on the IVE is newer than the version installed on the client. Here is a summary of what happens when the Autoupgrade Host Checker option is selected or not selected: If Host Checker is not installed on the client computer, Host Checker is installed automatically regardless of whether the Auto-upgrade Host Checker option is selected or not selected. If the Auto-upgrade Host Checker option is selected and a previous version of Host Checker is installed, Host Checker is upgraded on the client automatically. If the Auto-upgrade Host Checker option is not selected and a previous version of Host Checker is installed, Host Checker is not upgraded the client automatically. If you select the Auto-upgrade Host Checker option, note the following:

Chapter 11: Host Checker

On Windows, the user must have administrator privileges in order for the IVE to automatically install the Host Checker application on the client. For more information, see the Client-side Changes Guide on the Juniper Networks Customer Support Center. If a user uninstalls Host Checker and then signs in to an IVE for which the Auto-upgrade Host Checker option is not enabled, the user no longer has access to Host Checker. 3. Click Save Changes.

Manually install Host Checker

The Maintenance > System > Installers page of the admin console provides several applications and a service for download. You can download an application or service as a Windows executable file, which enables you to: Distribute the file to client machines using software distribution tools. This option enables you to install an application or service on client machines whose users do not have Administrator privileges, which are required to install the application or service. Post the executable in a secure repository so that users with the proper administrator right may download and install the appropriate version. Download and execute a script that automatically retrieves the proper version of the installer from an FTP server.

Using Host Checker logs

Use the System > Log/Monitoring > Client Logs > Settings tab to enable clientside logging for the Host Checker. When you enable this option, the IVE writes a client-side log to any client that uses Host Checker. The IVE appends to the log file each time the feature is invoked during subsequent user sessions. This feature is useful when working with the support team to debug problems with the respective feature.

NOTE: Since these settings are global, the IVE writes a log file to all clients that use the feature for which you enable client-side logging. Also, the IVE does not remove client-side logs. Users need to manually delete log files from their clients. For information about where the IVE installs log files, see the Client-side Changes Guide on the Juniper Networks Customer Support Center.

Cache Cleaner
Cache Cleaner is a Windows client-side agent that removes residual data, such as temporary files or application caches, left on a users machine after an IVE session. For example, when a user signs in to the IVE from an Internet kiosk and opens a Microsoft Word document using a browser plug-in, Cache Cleaner can remove the temporary copy of the Word file stored in the browser cache (Windows folder) when the session terminates. By removing the copy, Cache Cleaner prevents other kiosk users from finding and opening the Word document after the IVE user concludes the session. Cache Cleaner can also prevent Web browsers from permanently storing the usernames, passwords, and Web addresses that users enter in Web forms. By preventing browsers from improperly caching this information, Cache Cleaner keeps confidential user information from being stored on untrusted systems. This section contains the following information about Cache Cleaner: Licensing: Cache Cleaner availability on page 269 Setting global Cache Cleaner options on page 270 Implementing Cache Cleaner options on page 273 Specifying Cache Cleaner installation options on page 277 Using Cache Cleaner logs on page 278

When you enable Cache Cleaner, it clears all content downloaded through the IVEs Content Intermediation Engine from a users system. In addition, you can use settings in the Authentication > Endpoint Security > Cache Cleaner page of the admin console to clear content from: Specified hosts and domainsIf you enable WSAM or JSAM, you may want to configure Cache Cleaner to clear additional hosts and domains. When a user browses the Internet outside the IVE using WSAM or JSAM, Internet files appear in his temporary Internet file folder. To delete these files using Cache Cleaner, you must specify the appropriate host name (for example, www.yahoo.com). Specified files and foldersIf you enable your users to access client-server applications on their local systems, you may want to configure Cache Cleaner to clear the temporary files and folders that the applications create on the users systems.
NOTE: If you configure Cache Cleaner to remove files from a directory, Cache Cleaner clears all files, including those that the user has explicitly saved to the directory and files that were in the directory prior to the IVE session.

To specify global Cache Cleaner options: 1. In the admin console, choose Authentication > Endpoint Security > Cache Cleaner. 2. Under Options: a. In the Cleaner Frequency field, specify how often Cache Cleaner runs. Valid values range from 1-60 minutes. Each time Cache Cleaner runs, it clears all content downloaded through the IVEs Content Intermediation Engine plus the browser cache, files, and folders you specify in the Browser Cache and Files and Folders sections below.

b. In the Status Update Frequency field, specify how often the IVE expects Cache Cleaner to update itself. Valid values range from 1-60 minutes. For the Client-side process, login inactivity timeout option, specify an interval to control timing out in the following situations: If the user navigates away from the IVE sign-in page after Cache Cleaner starts running but before signing in to the IVE, Cache Cleaner continues to run on the users machine for the interval you specify.

c.

Select the Disable AutoComplete of web addresses checkbox to prevent the browser from using cached values to automatically fill in Web addresses during the users IVE session. When you select this option, the IVE sets the following Windows registry value to 0 during the users IVE session: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\Ex plorer\ AutoComplete. Then, at the end of the session, the IVE restores the registry value to its original setting.

d. Select the Disable AutoComplete of usernames and passwords checkbox to prevent Internet Explorer from automatically filling in user credentials in Web forms using cached values. Selecting this option also disables the Save Password? prompt on Windows systems. When you select this option, the IVE sets the following Windows registry values to 0:

Note that the IVE does not resolve host names, so enter all possible representations of a server, such as its host name, FQDN, and IP address. 4. Under Files and Folders: a. Specify either: the name of a file that you want Cache Cleaner to remove or the complete directory path to a folder whose contents you want Cache Cleaner to remove. If you specify a directory, select Clear Subfolders to also clear the contents of any subdirectories within this directory. b. Select the Clear folders only at the end of session checkbox if you want Cache Cleaner to clear directory contents only at the end of the user session. Otherwise, Cache Cleaner also clears files and folders at the specified cleaner frequency interval.
NOTE: When specifying files and folders to clear, note the following:

Cache Cleaner uses a cookie called DSPREAUTH to send the clients status to the IVE. If you delete this cookie from the users client, Cache Cleaner does not work properly. To avoid problems, do not specify Internet Explorer directories such as <userhome>\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\* in the Files and Folders field. Note that Cache Cleaner still clears all of the Internet Explorer cache downloaded from the IVE host and the other hosts specified in the Hostnames field, regardless of what directories you specify under Files and Folders.

After you specify which hosts, domains, files, and folders to clear using settings in the Authentication > Endpoint Security > Cache Cleaner page of the admin console, you can restrict IVE and resource access by requiring Cache Cleaner in a: Realm authentication policyWhen users try to sign in to the IVE, the IVE evaluates the specified realms authentication policy to determine if the preauthentication requirements include Cache Cleaner. You can configure a realm authentication policy to download Cache Cleaner, download and start running Cache Cleaner, or not require Cache Cleaner. The user must sign in using a computer that adheres to the Cache Cleaner requirements specified for the realm. If the users computer does not meet the requirements, then the user is denied access to the IVE. You can configure realm-level restrictions through the Users > User Realms > Realm > Authentication Policy > Cache Cleaner page of the admin console. RoleWhen the IVE determines the list of eligible roles to which it can map an administrator or user, it evaluates each roles restrictions to determine if the role requires Cache Cleaner to run on the user's workstation. If it does and the user's machine is not already running Cache Cleaner, then the IVE does not map the user to that role. You can control which roles the IVE maps a user to by using settings in Users > User Realms > Select Realm > Role Mapping > Select|Create Rule > Custom Expression. You can configure role-level restrictions through the Users > User Roles > Role > General > Restrictions > Cache Cleaner page of the admin console. Resource policyWhen a user requests a resource, the IVE evaluates the resource policys detailed rules to determine whether or not Cache Cleaner needs to be installed or running on the user's workstation. The IVE denies access to the resource if the user's machine does not meet the Cache Cleaner requirement. To implement Cache Cleaner restrictions at the resource policy level, navigate to: Users > Resource Policies > Select Resource > Select Policy > Detailed Rules > Select|Create Rule > Condition Field. You may specify that the IVE evaluate your Cache Cleaner policies only when the user first tries to access the realm, role, or resource that references the Cache Cleaner policy. Or, you may use settings in the Authentication > Endpoint Security > Cache Cleaner tab to specify that the IVE periodically re-evaluate the policies throughout the users session. If you choose to periodically evaluate Cache Cleaner policies, the IVE dynamically maps users to roles and allows users access to new resources based on the most recent evaluation.

Executing Cache Cleaner

When the user tries to access the IVE, the IVE determines the client systems Cache Cleaner status and prompts it to start running using the following process: 1. Initial evaluationWhen a user first tries to access the IVE sign-in page, the IVE determines whether Cache Cleaner is running on the users machine. The IVE performs this initial evaluation regardless of whether you have implemented Cache Cleaner policies at the realm, role, or resource policy level.

Juniper Networks Secure Access Administration Guide

If the user navigates away from the IVE sign-in page after Cache Cleaner starts running but before signing in to the IVE, Cache Cleaner continues to run on the users machine until the Cache Cleaner process times out. If the IVE does not receive a Cache Cleaner status result for any reason (including because the user failed to enter his credentials in the sign-in page), the IVE displays an error and directs the user back to the sign-in page. Otherwise, if the IVE Cache Cleaner process returns a status, the IVE goes on to execute the realm-level policies. 2. Realm-level policiesThe IVE uses the results from the initial evaluation to determine which realms the user may access. Then, the IVE displays or hides realms from the user, only allowing him to sign into those realms that you enable for the sign-in page, and if he meets the Cache Cleaner requirements for each realm. If the user cannot meet the Cache Cleaner conditions required by any of the available realms, the IVE does not display the sign-in page. Instead, it displays an error stating that the computer does not comply with the endpoint policy. Note that the IVE only performs realm-level Cache Cleaner checks when the user first signs into the IVE. If the state of the users system changes during his session, the IVE does not remove him from the current realm or allow him access to a new realm based on his new system state. 3. Role-level policiesAfter the user signs into a realm, the IVE evaluates rolelevel policies and maps the user to the role or roles if he meets the Cache Cleaner requirements for those role(s). Then, the IVE displays the IVE homepage to the user and enables those options that the mapped role(s) allow. If Cache Cleaner returns a different status during a periodic evaluation, the IVE dynamically remaps the user to roles based on the new results. If the end user loses rights to all available roles during one of the periodic evaluations, the IVE disconnects the users session. 4. Resource-level policiesOnce the IVE allows the user to access the homepage, the user may try to access a resource that is controlled by a resource policy. When he does, the IVE determines whether or not to perform the action specified in the resource policy based on the last status returned by Cache Cleaner. If Cache Cleaner returns a different status during a periodic evaluation, the new status only impacts new resources that the user tries to access. For example, if successfully initiates a Network Connect session, and then fails his next resource-level Cache Cleaner status check, he may continue to access the open Network Connect session. The IVE only denies him access if he tries to open a new Network Connect session. The IVE checks the last status returned by Cache Cleaner whenever the user tries to access a new Web resource or open a new Secure Application Manager, Network Connect, or Secure Terminal Access session.

5. Final clean-upCache Cleaner performs a final cleanup and restores registry settings when: The user explicitly signs out of the user sessionWhen a user clicks Sign Out on the IVE home page, Cache Cleaner performs a final cleanup and then uninstalls itself from the users system. The user session times outWhen a user session times out, Cache Cleaner performs a cleanup, and then if user signs in again, Cache Cleaner performs another cleanup. Cache Cleaner is aware of session timeouts, because it periodically checks the validity of a session at the interval you specify on the Authentication > Endpoint Security > Cache Cleaner tab.
NOTE: When checking the validity of a user session, Cache Cleaner connects to the IVE. This action may trigger warnings on personal firewalls. Users must permit this traffic to ensure that Cache Cleaner functions correctly. Also note that users with personal firewalls see a log entry every time Cache Cleaner clears the cache.

A client system restarts after an abnormal terminationIf Cache Cleaner terminates abnormally due to a system, session, or network connection problem, Cache Cleaner performs a final cleanup and uninstalls itself from the users system after the system restarts. Note that Cache Cleaner cannot log data after it terminates. Also, all changes made to the users registry settings after termination and before signing back in to the IVE are lost. With either a running or not running status, Cache Cleaner remains on the client. Users may manually uninstall the agent by running uninstall.exe in the directory where Cache Cleaner is installed. If you enable client-side logging through the System > Log/Monitoring > Client Logs > Settings page, this directory also contains a log file, which is rewritten each time Cache Cleaner runs. (Cache Cleaner does not log entries to the standard IVE log, but can log data to the temporary client-side text file. This encrypted log is deleted when Cache Cleaner uninstalls itself.)

Specifying Cache Cleaner restrictions

To specify Cache Cleaner restrictions: 1. Navigate to: Authentication > Endpoint Security > Cache Cleaner and specify global options for Cache Cleaner to apply to any user for whom Cache Cleaner is required in an authentication policy, a role mapping rule, or a resource policy. 2. If you want to implement Cache Cleaner at the realm level: a. Navigate to: Users > User Realms > Select Realm > Authentication Policy > Cache Cleaner

b. Choose one of the following options: Disable Cache Cleaner Does not require Cache Cleaner to be installed or running in order for the user to meet the access requirement. Just load Cache Cleaner Does not require Cache Cleaner to be running in order for the user to meet the access requirement but ensures that it is available for future use. If you choose this option for a realms authentication policy, then the IVE downloads Cache Cleaner to the client machine after the user is authenticated and before the user is mapped to any roles on the system. Load and enforce Cache Requires the IVE to download and run Cache Cleaner in order for the user to meet the access requirement. If you choose this option for a realms authentication policy, then the IVE downloads Cache Cleaner to the client machine before the user may access the IVE sign-in page. 3. If you want to implement Cache Cleaner at the role level: a. Navigate to: Administrators > Admin Roles > Select Role > General > Restrictions > Cache Cleaner Users > User Roles > Select Role > General > Restrictions > Cache Cleaner b. Check the Enable Cache Cleaner option. Requires Cache Cleaner to be running in order for the user to meet the access requirement. 4. If you want to create role-mapping rules based on a users Cache Cleaner status: a. Navigate to: Users > User Realms > Select Realm > Role Mapping > Select|CreateRule > CustomExpression

b. Write a custom expression for the role mapping rule to evaluate Cache Cleaners status using the cacheCleaner variable. 5. If you want to implement Cache Cleaner at the resource policy level: a. Navigate to: Users > Resource Policies > Select Resource > Select Policy > Detailed Rules > Select|Create Rule > Condition Field

b. Create a custom expression in a detailed rule.

Specifying Cache Cleaner installation options

If you implement any policy at the realm, role, or resource policy level that requires Cache Cleaner, you must provide a mechanism by which the IVE or the user can install Cache Cleaner on the client machine. Otherwise, when the IVE evaluates the Cache Cleaner policy, the users machine fails because the Cache Cleaner client is not available. Enable automatic installation through the Users > User Realms > Realm > Authentication Policy > Cache Cleaner page of the admin console to allow the IVE to attempt to install Cache Cleaner on the users system. When you do, the IVE evaluates the realm-level option when the user accesses the IVE sign-in page and then determines if the current version of Cache Cleaner is installed on the users machine. If Cache Cleaner is not installed, the IVE attempts to install it using either an ActiveX or a Java delivery method. When a user signs in to the IVE, the IVE attempts to install an ActiveX control on the users system. If the IVE successfully installs the ActiveX control, the control manages the installation of the Cache Cleaner program. If the IVE cannot install the ActiveX control due to the users lack of administrator or power user privileges, or because ActiveX is turned off on the users system, the IVE attempts to install Cache Cleaner using Java. The Java delivery method requires only user privileges, but Java must be enabled on the users system.
NOTE: If Microsoft Vista is running on the users system, the user must click the setup link that appears during the installation process to continue installing the setup client and Cache Cleaner. On all other Microsoft operating systems, the setup client and Cache Cleaner install automatically.

If the IVE cannot use the Java delivery method because Java is disabled on the users system, the IVE displays an error message informing the user that the users system does not allow installation of ActiveX or Java applications, therefore some of the access security functions are not able to run.
NOTE:

To install Cache Cleaner, users must have appropriate privileges, as described in the Client-side Changes Guide on the Juniper Networks Customer Support Center. If the user does not have these privileges, use the Juniper Installer Service available from the Maintenance > System > Installers page of the admin console to bypass this requirement. Users must enable signed ActiveX components or signed Java applets within their browsers in order for Host Checker to download, install, and launch the client applications. For information on removing the Juniper ActiveX control, see Removing the Juniper ActiveX Control on page 265.

Using Cache Cleaner logs

Use the System > Log/Monitoring > Client Logs > Settings tab to enable clientside logging for the Cache Cleaner. When you enable this option, the IVE writes a client-side log to any client that uses Cache Cleaner. The IVE appends to the log file each time the feature is invoked during subsequent user sessions. This feature is useful when working with the support team to debug problems with the respective feature.
NOTE: Since these settings are global, the IVE writes a log file to all clients that use the feature for which you enable client-side logging. Also, the IVE does not remove client-side logs. Users need to manually delete log files from their clients. For information about where the IVE installs log files, see the Client-side Changes Guide on the Juniper Networks Customer Support Center.

To specify global client-side logging settings: 1. In the admin console, choose System > Log/Monitoring > Client Logs > Settings. 2. Select the desired features for which the IVE writes client-side logs. 3. Click Save Changes to save these settings globally.

NOTE: For new IVE 5.x systems, all options are disabled by default. If you upgrade

your IVE from a 3.x configuration, all log options are enabled by default.

Remote access
The IVE enables you to secure access to a wide variety of applications, servers, and other resources through its remote access mechanisms. Once you have chosen which resource you want to secure, you can then choose the appropriate access mechanism (as explained in Can I use the IVE to secure traffic to all of my companys applications, servers, and Web pages? on page 25. For instance, if you want to secure access to Microsoft Outlook, you can use the Secure Application Manager (SAM). The Secure Application Manager intermediates traffic to client/server applications including Microsoft Outlook, Lotus Notes, and Citrix. Or, if you want to secure access to your company Intranet, you can use the Web rewriting feature. This feature uses the IVEs Content Intermediation Engine to intermediate traffic to Web-based applications and Web pages. Table 18 briefly compares three of the IVEs access mechanisms: Network Connect, Windows Secure Application Manager (WSAM), and Java Secure Application Manager (JSAM).
Table 18: Comparison of remote client access methods Network Connect
Secure network-layer access. Performs as virtual IPsec enabled tunnel. Compatible with client-side firewalls and proxies. Installation handled via Active X control for Windows and Java applet for Mac. Provisioning requires a static IP address pool allocated for network resources or a DHCP server present on the network.

WSAM
Secure application-layer access. Supports Win32 Transport Data Interface (TDI) service installation. Compatible with client-side firewalls and proxies.

JSAM
Secure application-layer access. Java applet-based TCP port forwarding for provisioned enterprise hosts. Compatible with client-side firewalls and proxies.

Licensing: Web rewriting availability

Web rewriting is a standard feature on all Secure Access appliances except the SA 700. If you are using an SA-700 appliance, you must install a Core Clientless Access upgrade license in order to access baseline Web rewriting features. Note, however, that the following advanced Web rewriting features are not available on the SA 700, even if you have the Core Clientless Access upgrade license: Remote SSO WSAM & JSAM rewriting policies (available through Web application resource profiles) Non-Java ICA rewriting options (available through Citrix templates)

Task summary: Configuring the Web rewriting feature

To configure the Web rewriting feature: 1. Create resource profiles that enable access to Web sites, create supporting autopolicies (such as single sign-on and Java access control policies) as necessary, include bookmarks that link to the Web sites, and assign the policies and bookmarks to user roles using settings in the Users > Resource Profiles> Web Application Pages page of the admin console. For instructions, see: Defining resource profiles: Custom Web applications on page 288 Defining resource profiles: Citrix Web applications on page 307 We recommend that you use resource profiles to configure Web rewriting (as described above). However, if you do not want to use resource profiles, you can configure Web rewriting using role and resource policy settings in the following pages of the admin console instead: a. Create resource policies that enable access to Web sites using settings in the Users > Resource Policies> Web > Access > Web ACL page of the admin console. For instructions, see Defining resource policies: Web access on page 324.

b. As necessary, create supporting resource policies (such as single sign-on and Java access control policies) using settings in the Users > Resource Policies> Select Policy Type pages of the admin console. For instructions, see: Defining resource policies: Single sign-on on page 325 Defining resource policies: Caching on page 332

For instructions, see Specifying general Web browsing options on page 319.

2. After enabling access to Web applications or sites using Web rewriting resource profiles or roles and resource policies, you can modify general role and resource options in the following pages of the admin console: a. (Optional) Set additional Web browsing options (such as allowing users to create their own bookmarks or enabling hostname masking) Users > User Roles > Select Role > Web > Options page of the admin console. For instructions, see Specifying general Web browsing options on page 319.

b. (Optional) Set additional Web options for individual resources (such as enabling the IVE to match IP addresses to host names) using settings in the Users > Resource Policies> Web > Options page of the admin console. For instructions, see Defining resource policies: General options on page 355.
NOTE: Certain Web rewriting features (such as pass-through proxy and SSO to NTLM resources) require additional configuration. For more information, see the appropriate configuration instructions.

Web URL rewriting overview

When you intermediate standard Web content through the IVE, you can create supplemental policies that fine-tune the access requirements and processing instructions for the intermediated content. You can create these supplemental policies through resource profiles (recommended) or resource policies.

Standard Web rewriting policy types include: Web access controlWeb access policies control which Web resources users can access in order to connect to the Internet, intranet, or extranet. For configuration instructions, see Defining a Web access control autopolicy on page 290 (recommended) or Defining resource policies: Web access on page 324. Single sign-onSingle sign-on policies enable you to automatically pass user credentials to a Web application. You can configure single sign-on policies to intercept basic authentication and NTLM challenges or post the credentials and headers that you specify to the Web application, as explained in Remote SSO overview on page 285. For configuration instructions, see Defining a single sign-on autopolicy on page 292 (recommended) or Defining resource policies: Single sign-on on page 325. CachingCaching policies control which Web content the IVE caches on a users machine. For configuration instructions, see Defining a caching autopolicy on page 296 (recommended) or Defining resource policies: Caching on page 332. JavaJava policies control to which servers and ports Java applets can connect. These policies also specify trusted servers for which the IVE resigns content. For configuration instructions, see Defining a Java access control autopolicy on page 298 (recommended) or Defining resource policies: External Java applets on page 336. RewritingRewriting policies specify resources that the IVE should not intermediate, minimally intermediation (as explained in Passthrough-proxy overview on page 286), or only intermediate selectively. For configuration instructions, see Defining a rewriting autopolicy on page 300 (recommended) or Defining resource policies: Rewriting on page 339. Web compressionWeb compression policies specify which types of Web data the IVE should and should not compress, as explained in Compression on page 839. For configuration instructions, see Defining a Web compression autopolicy on page 304 (recommended) or Defining resource policies: Web compression on page 349. Web proxy(Resource policies only) Web proxy resource policies specify Web proxy servers for which the IVE should intermediate content. Note that the IVE intermediates both forward and backwards proxies, but only enables single sign-on to trusted proxies. For configuration instructions, see Defining resource policies: Web proxy on page 351. Launch JSAM(Resource policies only) Launch JSAM policies specify URLs for which the IVE automatically launches J-SAM on the client. This feature is useful if you enable applications that require J-SAM but do not want to require users to run J-SAM unnecessarily. For configuration instructions, see Automatically launching JSAM on page 443. Protocol(Resource policies only) Protocol resource policies enable or disable HTTP 1.1 protocol support on the IVE. For configuration instructions, see Defining resource policies: HTTP 1.1 protocol on page 354.

Options (Resource policies only) You can enable IP based matching for hostnames as well as case-sensitive matching for path and query strings in Web resources through resource policy options. For configuration instructions, see Defining resource policies: General options on page 355.

Remote SSO overview

The Remote Single Sign-On (SSO) feature enables you to specify the URL sign-in page of an application to which you want the IVE to post a users credentials, minimizing the need for users to re-enter their credentials when accessing multiple back-end applications. You may also specify additional forms values and custom headers (including cookies) to post to an applications sign-in form. Remote SSO configuration consists of specifying Web resource policies: Form POST policyThis type of Remote SSO policy specifies the sign-in page URL of an application to which you want to post IVE data and the data to post. This data can include the users primary or secondary IVE username and password (as explained in Multiple sign-in credentials overview on page 193) as well as system data stored by system variables (described in System variables and examples on page 860). You can also specify whether or not users can modify this information. Headers/Cookies policyThis type of Remote SSO policy specifies resources, such as customized applications, to which you can send custom headers and cookies. If a users IVE credentials differ from those required by the back-end application, the user can alternatively access the application: By signing in manuallyThe user can quickly access the back-end application by entering his credentials manually into the applications sign-in page. The user may also permanently store his credentials and other required information in the IVE through the Preferences page as described below, but is not required to enter information in this page. Specifying the required credentials on the IVEThe user must provide the IVE with his correct application credentials by setting them through the Preferences page. Once set, the user must sign out and sign back in to save his credentials on the IVE. Then, the next time the user clicks the Remote SSO bookmark to sign in to the application, the IVE sends the updated credentials.
NOTE: Use the Remote SSO feature to pass data to applications with static POST actions in their HTML forms. It is not practical to use Remote SSO with applications that employ frequently changing URL POST actions, time-based expirations, or POST actions that are generated at the time the form is generated.

Passthrough-proxy overview
The pass-through proxy feature enables you to specify Web applications for which the IVE performs minimal intermediation. Unlike traditional reverse proxy functionality, which also rewrites only selective parts of a server response but requires network changes as well as complex configuration, this feature only requires that you specify application servers and the way in which the IVE receives client requests to those application servers: Via an IVE portWhen specifying an application for the pass-through proxy to intermediate, you specify a port on which the IVE listens for client requests to the application server. When the IVE receives a client request for the application server, it forwards the request to the specified application server port. When you choose this option, you must open traffic to the specified IVE port on your corporate firewall. Via virtual host nameWhen specifying an application for the pass-through proxy to intermediate, you specify an alias for the application server host name. You need to add an entry for this alias in your external DNS server that resolves to the IVE. When the IVE receives a client request for the alias, it forwards the request to the port you specify for the application server. This option is useful if your company has restrictive policies about opening firewall ports to either internal servers or servers in the DMZ. When using this option, we recommend that each host name alias contains the same domain substring as your IVE host name and that you upload a wild card server certificate to the IVE in the format: *.domain.com. For example, if your IVE is iveserver.yourcompany.com, then a host name alias should be in the format appserver.yourcompany.com and the wild card certificate format would be *.yourcompany.com. If you do not use a wild card certificate, then a clients browser issues a certificate name check warning when a user browses to an application server, because the application server host name alias does not match the certificate domain name. This behavior does not prevent a user from accessing the application server, however.
NOTE: When you configure pass-through proxy to work in virtual host name mode, users must use the IVE host name that you specify through the System > Network > Overview page of the admin console when signing into the IVE. They cannot access use pass-through proxy if they sign into the IVE using its IP address.

286

Web URL rewriting overview

Chapter 13: Web rewriting

Just as with the Content Intermediation Engine, the pass-through proxy option offers increased security relative to the Secure Application Manager, because when enabled for an application, the IVE allows the client to send only layer-7 traffic directed to fixed application ports to the enterprise network. Use this option to enable the IVE to support applications with components that are incompatible with the Content Intermediation Engine, such as Java applets in Oracle e-business suite applications or applets that run in an unsupported Java Virtual Machine (JVM).
NOTE:

Pass-through proxy URLs must be host names. Paths of host names are not supported. Juniper Networks strongly recommends that you not mix pass-through proxy Port mode and pass-through proxy Host mode. The pass-through proxy option works only for applications that listen on fixed ports and where the client does not make direct socket connections. To use pass-through proxy with Oracle E-Business applications, you must install a real certificate on the IVE and you must configure Oracle Forms to use the Forms Listener Servlet mode.

Task summary: Configuring pass-through proxy

To configure the Web rewriting feature: 1. Create resource profiles that enable access to Web applications, create supporting Web rewriting autopolicies that enable pass-through proxy, include bookmarks that link to the Web applications, and assign the policies and bookmarks to user roles using settings in the Users > Resource Profiles> Web Application Pages page of the admin console. For instructions, see Defining resource profiles: Custom Web applications on page 288. Alternatively, you can: a. Create resource policies that enable access to Web applications using settings in the Users > Resource Policies> Web > Access > Web ACL page of the admin console. For instructions, see Defining resource policies: Web access on page 324.

b. Create supporting Web rewriting resource policies that enable pass-through proxy using settings in the Users > Resource Policies> Web > Rewriting > Web ACL page of the admin console. For instructions, see Defining resource policies: Rewriting on page 339. c. Determine which user roles may access the Web applications that you want to intermediate with pass-through proxy, and then enable Web access for those roles through the Users > User Roles > Select Role > General > Overview page of the admin console. For instructions, see Configuring general role options on page 55.

d. Create bookmarks to your Web sites using settings in the Users > User Roles > Select Role > Web > Bookmarks page of the admin console. For instructions, see Defining role settings: Web URLs on page 316. 2. If your pass-through proxy resource policy enables the IVE to receive client requests through an IVE port, open traffic to the specified port in your corporate firewall. Or, if your policy enables requests through a virtual host name: a. Add an entry for each application server host name alias in your external DNS that resolves to the IVE.

b. Define the IVE name and host name through the System > Network > Internal Port page of the admin console. For instructions, see Configuring network settings on page 558. c. Upload a wildcard certificate to the IVE through the System > Configuration > Certificates > Device Certificates page of the admin console. Or, upload multiple certificates and associate a virtual port with each certificate using settings in the same page. For instructions, see Importing an existing root certificate and private key on page 601 and Associating a certificate with a virtual port on page 606.

Examples of using pass-through proxy

If your IVE is iveserver.yourcompany.com and you have an Oracle server at oracle.companynetwork.net:8000, you could specify the following application parameters when specifying an IVE port:
Server: oracle.companynetwork.net Port: 8000 IVE port: 11000

When the IVE receives Oracle client traffic sent to iveserver.yourcompany.com:11000, it forwards the traffic to oracle.companynetwork.net:8000. Or, if you want to specify a host name alias, you could configure the application with these parameters:
Server: oracle.companynetwork.net Port: 8000 IVE alias: oracle.yourcompany.com

When the IVE receives Oracle client traffic sent to oracle.yourcompany.com, it forwards the traffic to oracle.companynetwork.net:8000

Defining resource profiles: Custom Web applications

A custom Web application resource profile is a resource profile that controls access to a Web application, Web server, or HTML page. (For more information about resource profiles, see Resource profiles on page 71.)

288

Defining resource profiles: Custom Web applications

Chapter 13: Web rewriting

To create a custom Web application resource profile: 1. Navigate to the Users > Resource Profiles > Web Applications/Pages page in the admin console. 2. Click New Profile. 3. Enter a unique name and optionally a description for the resource profile. 4. In the Base URL field, enter the URL of the Web application or page for which you want to control access using the format: [protocol://]host[:port][/path]. For detailed guidelines, see Defining base URLs on page 290. (The IVE uses the specified URL to define the default bookmark for the resource profile.) 5. In the Autopolicy: Web Access Control section, create a policy that allows or denies users access to the resource specified in the Base URL field.

Defining base URLs

When creating a Web resource profile, you must use the following format when defining base URLs:
[protocol://]host[:port][/path]

Within this format, the components are: Protocol (required)Possible values: http:// and https://. Note that you cannot use special characters within the protocol. Host (required)Possible values: DNS HostnameFor example: www.juniper.com IP addressYou must enter the IP address in the format: a.b.c.d. For example: 10.11.149.2. You cannot use special characters in the IP address. Ports (optional)You must use the delimiter : when specifying a port. For example: 10.11.149.2/255.255.255.0:* Path (optional)When specifying a path for a base URL, the IVE does not allow special characters. If you specify a path, you must use the / delimiter. For example, http://www.juniper.net/sales.

Defining a Web access control autopolicy

Web access policies control which Web resources users can access in order to connect to the Internet, intranet, or extranet. When defining a custom Web resource profile, you must enable a corresponding Web access control autopolicy that enables access to the profiles primary resource. The IVE simplifies the process for you by automatically creating an autopolicy that allows access to the Web resource and all of its sub-directories. If necessary, you may choose to modify this default autopolicy or create supplementary Web access control autopolicies that control access to additional resources. For instance, your IT department may use one server to store Web pages for your company intranet (http://intranetserver.com) and another server to store the images that the Web pages reference (http://imagesserver.com). In this case, you can create two Web access control autopolicies that enable access to both servers so that your users can access both your Web pages and the corresponding images. To create a new Web access control autopolicy: 1. Create a custom Web application resource profile, as explained in the following sections: Defining resource profiles: Custom Web applications on page 288 Defining resource profiles: Citrix Web applications on page 307 Defining resource profiles: Microsoft OWA on page 311 Defining resource profiles: Lotus iNotes on page 313

Defining Web resources

When creating a Web resource profile (for example, in Defining resource profiles: Custom Web applications on page 288), you must use the following format when defining resources for autopolicies:
[protocol://]host[:ports][/path]

Within this format, the four components are: Protocol (required)Possible values: http:// and https://. Note that you cannot use special characters within the protocol. Host (required)Possible values: DNS HostnameFor example: www.juniper.com You may use the following special characters allowed in the hostname:
Table 19: DNS hostname special characters
* % ?

Matches ALL characters. Matches any character except dot (.) Matches exactly one character

IP address/NetmaskYou must enter the IP address in the format: a.b.c.d You may use one of two formats for the netmask: Prefix: High order bits IP: a.b.c.d For example: 10.11.149.2/24 or 10.11.149.2/255.255.255.0 You cannot use special characters in the IP address or netmask.

Ports (optional)You must use the delimiter : when specifying a port. For example: 10.11.149.2/255.255.255.0:*
Table 20: Port possible values
* port[,port]* [port1]-[port2]

Matches ALL ports; you cannot use any other special characters A comma-delimited list of single ports. Valid port numbers are [165535]. A range of ports, from port1 to port2, inclusive.

NOTE: You can mix port lists and port ranges, such as: 80,443,8080-8090

If the port is missing, then the default port 80 is assigned for http, 443 for https. Path (optional)When specifying a path for a Web access control autopolicy, you may use a * character, meaning ALL paths match. (The IVE does not support any other special characters.) If you specify a path, you must use the / delimiter. For example:
http://www.juniper.net/sales http://www.juniper.net:80/* https://www.juniper.net:443/intranet/*

Defining a single sign-on autopolicy

Single sign-on policies enable you to automatically pass user credentials to the Web application specified in your policy, as explained in Single sign-on on page 191. Single sign-on autopolicies also intermediate the data that you pass.
NOTE: For information about configuring advanced SSO options that are not available through resource profiles, including disabling intermediation for specified resources or using SAML for individual resources, see Defining resource policies: Single sign-on on page 325.

To create a single sign-on (SSO) autopolicy: 1.

Defining a caching autopolicy

Caching policies control which Web content the IVE caches on a users machine.
NOTE: For information about configuring advanced caching options not available through resource profiles, including specifying the maximum allowable image size for cached content, see Defining resource policies: Caching on page 332. For information about recommended caching settings for OWA and Lotus Notes applications, see Creating OWA and Lotus Notes caching resource policies on page 335.

To create a Web caching autopolicy: 1. Create a custom Web application resource profile, as explained in the following sections: Defining resource profiles: Custom Web applications on page 288 Defining resource profiles: Microsoft OWA on page 311 Defining resource profiles: Lotus iNotes on page 313 2. If available, click the Show ALL autopolicy types to display the autopolicy configuration options. 3. Select the Autopolicy: Caching checkbox. 4. In the Resource field, specify the resources to which this policy applies. For detailed guidelines, see Defining Web resources on page 291. 5. In the Action field, select one of the following options: SmartSelect this option to allow the IVE to send a cache-control:no-store header or a cache-control:no-cache header based on the users Web browser and content type. When you select this option, the IVE makes media files and zip files work properly by removing their origin server's cache-control headers. For example, the following logic searches for msie or windows-media-player in user-agent headers in order to remove cache or cache-control:no-store response headers and make the files cacheable:
(if content type has "audio/x-pn-realaudio" OR if content type begins with "video/" OR if content type begins with "audio/" OR if content type is "application/octet-stream" and the file extension begins with "rm" or "ram" )

If the IVE finds msie or windows-media-player in the user-agent header and any of the following apply: Request is for Flash, .xls, .pps, .ppt files Content-type is application/, text/rtf, text/xml, model/

296

Defining resource profiles: Custom Web applications

Chapter 13: Web rewriting

Origin server sends a content-disposition header then IVE sends the cache-control:no-store header and removes the origin server's cache-control header. In all other cases, the IVE adds the pragma:no-cache or cache-control:nostore response headers. NOTE: Citrix .ica and QuickPlace files get some special treatment. Citrix .ica files are always cacheable and get cache-control:private as well. QuickPlace files that do not match a specified rule files (which takes precedence) get CCNS and cachecontrol:private.

Also note that if you select this option, enable GZIP compression, and try to access a text file attachment using Domino Web Access 6.5 through Internet Explorer, you cannot open the attachment. To enable text attachments, you must either install the Internet Explorer 323308 patch or enable the No Store option. No-StoreSelect this option to deliver attachments to Internet Explorer without saving them to the disk. (The browser temporarily writes files to the disk, but immediately removes them once it has opened the file in the browser.) When you select this option, the IVE removes the origin server's cache-control header and adds a cache-control:no-store response header if the user-agent string sent by the browser contains msie or windowsmedia-player. This option might slow browsing by causing repeated content fetches, which can cause performance issues on very slow connections. No-CacheSelect this option to prevent the users browser from caching files to the disk. When you select this option, the IVE adds the standard HTTP pragma:no-cache header and cache-control:no-cache (CCNC) header (HTTP 1.1) to response files. Also, the IVE does not forward the origin server's caching headers, such as age, date, etag, last-modified, expires.
NOTE: When no-cache headers are present on certain types of attachments (PDF, PPT, streaming files), Internet Explorer does not properly render the documents because the rendering process requires the browser to temporarily writes these files to cache.

Defining a Java access control autopolicy

A Java access control autopolicy defines the list of servers and ports to which Java applets can connect, as explained in Using code-signing certificates on page 623. This autopolicy also specifies which resources the IVE signs using the code-signing certificate that you upload to the IVE. When you enable Java access control using this autopolicy, the IVE automatically enables the Allow Java applets option on the Users > User Roles > Select Role > Web > Options page of the admin console.
NOTE:

For information about configuring advanced Java options that are not available through resource profiles, including preventing Java applets from connecting to servers that you specify, see Defining resource policies: External Java applets on page 336. For information about hosting Java applets directly on the IVE, see Hosted Java applets on page 357. To create a Java access control autopolicy: 1. Create a custom Web application resource profile, as explained in Defining resource profiles: Custom Web applications on page 288. 2. Click Show ALL autopolicy types. 3. Select the Autopolicy: Java Access Control checkbox. 4. In the Resource field, specify the server resources to which this policy applies using the format: host:[ports].

To configure pass-through proxy autopolicy options: 1. Create an rewriting autopolicy and select Passthrough Proxy, as explained in Defining a rewriting autopolicy on page 300. 2. Choose the way in which you want to enable the pass-through proxy feature: Use virtual hostnameIf you choose this option, specify a host name alias for the application server. When the IVE receives a client request for the application server host name alias, it forwards the request to the specified application server port in the Base URL field. Use IVE portIf you choose this option, specify a unique IVE port in the range 11000-11099. The IVE listens for client requests to the application server on the specified IVE port and forwards any requests to the application server port specified in the Base URL field.
NOTE:

The corresponding URL for the resource profile must specify the application server host name and the port used to access the application internally. You cannot enter a path for the base URL. In order to make Sharepoint work successfully through the IVE, you must select the Override automatic cookie handling checkbox in Internet Explorer under Tools Internet options > Privacy > Advanced Privacy Settings if the following conditions true: You select the Use virtual hostname option during Pass Through Proxy configuration. The virtual hostname that you specify in your Sharepoint configuration is different from the hostname that you configure through IVE setup (that is, if the domains are different). You enable persistent cookies through the Users > User Roles > Select Role > General > Session Options page of the admin console. 3.

To configure JSAM rewriting autopolicy options: 1. Create an rewriting autopolicy and select No rewriting (use JSAM), as explained in Defining a rewriting autopolicy on page 300. 2. In the Server Name field, enter the DNS name of the application server or the server IP address. 3. In the Server Port field, enter the port on which the remote server listens for client connections. For example, to forward Telnet traffic from a remote machine, specify port 23 for both the client port (on which JSAM listens) and the server port (on which the Telnet server listens).
NOTE: To enable drive mapping to this resource, enter 139 as the server port.

4. In the Client Loopback IP field, provide a static loopback address. If you do not provide a static IP loopback address, the IVE assigns an IP loopback address dynamically. For more information about static loopback addresses, see J-SAM overview on page 417. 5. In the Client Port field, enter the port on which JSAM should listen for client application connections. Typically, the local port value is the same value as the server port; the local port value usually only differs for Linux or Macintosh users who want to add applications for port forwarding that use ports under 1024.
NOTE: To enable drive mapping to this resource, enter 139 as the server port.

You may configure more than one application on a single port, such as
app1.mycompany.com, app2.mycompany.com, app3.mycompany.com. Either you

assign a static loopback address or the IVE assigns a dynamic loopback address (127.0.1.10, 127.0.1.11, 127.0.1.12) to each application. JSAM then listens on these multiple loopback addresses on the specified port. For example, when there is traffic on 127.0.1.12 on the specified port, the IVE forwards the traffic to the app3.mycompany.com destination host.

Defining a Web compression autopolicy

Web compression autopolicies specify which types of Web data the IVE should and should not compress. For example, since javascript does not work when compressed, you might use this feature to specify that the IVE should not compress javascript data going to and from an email server by entering the following resource: http://owa.juniper.net/*.js. For more information about how the IVE compresses data, see Compression on page 839.
NOTE: In order to properly compress data, you must enable compression at the system level as well as creating compression autopolicies. To enable compression, use settings in the Maintenance > System > Options page of the admin console. For instructions, see Enabling compression at the system level on page 841.

For example, you may create a resource profile that controls access to your company intranet. Within the profile, you may specify: Resource profile name: Your Intranet Primary resource: http://intranet.com Web access control autopolicy: Allow access to http://intranet.com:80/* Roles: Sales, Engineering When you create this policy, the IVE automatically creates a bookmark called Your Intranet enabling access to http://intranet.com and displays the bookmark to members of the Sales and Engineering roles. You may then choose to create the following additional bookmarks to associate with the resource profile: Sales Intranet bookmark: Creates a link to the http://intranet.com/sales page and displays the link to members of the Sales role. Engineering Intranet bookmark: Creates a link to the http://intranet.com/engineering page and displays the link to members of the Engineering role.
NOTE: When configuring bookmarks, note that:

You can only assign bookmarks to roles that you have already associated with the resource profilenot all of the roles defined on the IVE. To change the list of roles associated with the resource profile, use settings in its Roles tab. Bookmarks simply control which links the IVE displays to usersnot which resources the users can access. For instance, in the example used above, a member of the Sales role would not see a link to the Engineering Intranet page, but he could access it by entering http://intranet.com/engineering his Web browsers address bar. You cannot create bookmarks that link to additional URLs and domains defined through Web access control autopolicies. For more information about resource profile bookmarks, see Defining bookmarks on page 78. To configure Web resource profile bookmarks:

1. If you want to create a resource profile bookmark through the standard resource profiles page: a. Navigate to the Users > Resource Profiles > Web > Select Resource Profile > Bookmarks page in the admin console.

b. Click the appropriate link in the Bookmark column if you want to modify an existing bookmark. Or, click New Bookmark to create an additional bookmark. Alternatively, if you want to create a resource profile bookmark through the user roles page: a. Navigate to the Users > User Roles > Select Role > Web > Bookmarks page in the admin console.

b. Click New Bookmark. c. From the Type list, choose Pick a Web Resource Profile. (The IVE does not display this option if have not already created a Web resource profile.)

d. Select an existing resource profile. e. Click OK. (If you have not already associated the selected role with the resource profile, the IVE automatically makes the association for you. The IVE also enables any access control policies for the role that are required by the resource profile.) If this role is not already associated with the selected resource profile, the IVE displays an informational message. If you see this message, click Save Changes to add this role to the resource profiles list of roles and to update the profiles autopolicies as required. Then, repeat the previous steps to create the bookmark.

f.

NOTE: When you create a resource profile bookmark through the user roles page (instead of the standard resource profiles page), the IVE only associates the generated bookmark with the selected role. The IVE does not assign the bookmark to all of the roles associated with the selected resource profile.

2. Optionally change the name and description of the bookmark. (By default, the IVE populates names the bookmark using the resource profile name.) 3. In the URL field, add a suffix to the URL if you want to create links to subsections of the domain defined in the primary resource profile. For information about system variables and attributes that you can include in the bookmark, see Using system variables in realms, roles, and resource policies on page 869.
NOTE: Make sure to enter a unique URL in this field. If you create two bookmarks with the same URL, the IVE deletes one of the bookmarks from the end-user view. You will still be able to see both bookmarks, however, in the administrator console.

4. Under Options, select the Bookmark opens in new window checkbox if want to enable the IVE to automatically open the Web resource in a new browser window. Next, select: Do not display browser address barSelect this option to remove the address bar from the browser window. This feature forces all Web traffic through the IVE by precluding users in the specified role from typing a new URL in the address bar, which circumvents the IVE. Do not display browser toolbarSelect this option to remove the menu and toolbar from the browser. This feature removes all menus, browsing buttons, and bookmarks from the browser window so that the user browses only through the IVE. 5. If you are configuring the bookmark through the resource profile pages, under Roles, specify the roles to which you want to display the bookmark: ALL selected rolesSelect this option to display the bookmark to all of the roles associated with the resource profile. Subset of selected rolesSelect this option to display the bookmark to a subset of the roles associated with the resource profile. Then select roles from the ALL Selected Roles list and click Add to move them to the Subset of selected roles list. 6. Click Save Changes.

Defining resource profiles: Citrix Web applications

A Citrix Web template is a resource profile that controls access to Citrix applications and configures Citrix settings as necessary. Citrix Web templates significantly reduce your configuration time by consolidating configuration settings into one place and by pre-populating a variety of resource policy settings for you depending on the type of Citrix setup you select. Due to their highly simplified configurations, templates are the ideal Citrix configuration method if you want to deliver ActiveX or Java applets from a third party Web server through the IVE or if you are using the Citrix fat clients. We strongly recommend using Citrix templates instead of the traditional role and resource policy configuration options available through the IVE. Other Citrix configuration methods available through the IVE include Network Connect, hosted Java applets, and Terminal Services. Use hosted Java applets if you want to deliver Citrix Java applets directly from the IVE instead of a third party Web server (as explained in Hosted Java applets on page 357), or use Terminal Services if you want to deliver the Citrix client directly from the IVE instead of a third party Web server (as explained in Terminal Services on page 461).

Juniper Networks Secure Access Administration Guide

For more information about resource profile templates, see Resource profiles on page 71.
NOTE: You cannot use Citrix templates in conjunction with Network Connect.

To create a resource profile using the Citrix template: 1. Navigate to the Users > Resource Profiles > Web Applications/Pages page in the admin console. 2. Click New Profile. 3. Select Citrix Web Interface/JICA from the Type list. 4. Enter a unique name and optionally a description for the Citrix resource profile. 5. In the Web Interface (NFuse) URL field, enter the URL of the Citrix resource to which you want to control access using the format: [protocol://]host[:port][/path]. For instance, enter the URL of an NFuse server, the Web interface for a Citrix Metaframe Presentation Server, or a Web servers from which the IVE can download Citrix Java applets or Citrix cab files. (The IVE uses the specified URL to define the default bookmark for the Citrix resource profile.) You may enter a directory URL or a file URL. For detailed guidelines on how to format Web resources, see Defining base URLs on page 290. 6. Specify which type of Citrix implementation you are using in your environment by selecting one of the following options: Java ICA Client with Web Interface (NFuse)Select this option if you have deployed Citrix using Java ICA clients and the Citrix Web Interface for MPS (i.e., NFuse). Java ICA Client without Web Interface (NFuse)Select this option if you have deployed Citrix using Java ICA clients without the Citrix Web Interface for MPS (i.e., NFuse). Non-Java ICA Client with Web Interface (NFuse)Select this option if you have deployed Citrix using non-Java ICA clients and the Citrix Web Interface for MPS (i.e., NFuse). Non-Java ICA Client without Web Interface (NFuse)(Read only) If you have deployed a non-Java ICA client without the Citrix Web Interface for MPS (i.e., NFuse), you cannot create a Citrix resource profile through this template. Instead, click the client application profile link beneath this option. The link brings you to the Client Application Profiles page, where you can create a SAM resource profile. For instructions, see Specifying applications and servers for WSAM to secure on page 405. 7. From the Web Interface (NFuse) version list, select which Citrix version you are using. (The IVE uses this value to pre-populate the Forms POST SSO values in your single sign-on autopolicy. For more information, see Specifying remote SSO autopolicy options on page 294.)

8. In the MetaFrame servers section, specify the Metaframe Servers to which you want to control access and click Add. When specifying servers, you can enter wildcards or IP ranges. The IVE uses the values that you enter to automatically create a corresponding resource policy that enables access to the necessary resources. For instance, if you choose a Java ICA client option above, the IVE creates a corresponding Java ACL resource policy that enables Java applets to connect to the specified Metaframe servers. If you choose the non-Java ICA client option above, the IVE creates a corresponding SAM resource policy that enables users to access the specified Metaframe servers. 9. (Java ICA clients only) If you have deployed Citrix using a Java ICA Client, select the Sign applets with code-signing certificate checkbox to resign the specified resources using the certificate uploaded through the System > Configuration > Certificates > Code-signing Certificates page of the admin console. (For instructions, see Using code-signing certificates on page 623.) When you select this option, the IVE uses all of the allow values that you enter in the resource profiles Web access control autopolicy to automatically create a corresponding code-signing resource policy. Within this policy, the IVE uses the specified Web resources to create a list of trusted servers. 10. (Non-Java ICA clients only) If you have deployed Citrix using a non-Java ICA Client with a Web interface, you must use the Secure Application Manager or Network Connect to secure traffic to your Metaframe servers instead of the Content Intermediation Engine. To secure traffic through Network Connect, see instructions in Network Connect on page 521. To secure traffic through the Secure Application Manager, select one of the following options in the ICA Client Access section: ICA client connects over WSAMSelect this option to secure traffic using WSAM instead of the Content Intermediation Engine. ICA client connects over JSAMSelect this option to secure traffic using JSAM instead of the Content Intermediation Engine. When you select this option, the IVE automatically launches JSAM when a user connects to the Web interface server that you define. After you select ICA client connects over JSAM, configure the following options: i. Number of Metaframe serversSpecify the number of Metaframe servers in your environment so the IVE can provision the correct number of loopback IP addresses for your configuration. (For instance, if you have five Metaframe servers and two ports, the IVE opens ten loopback IP addresses.) For more information about loopback addresses, see Assigning IP loopback addresses to servers on page 421. Citrix PortsSpecify the ports on which the Metaframe servers listen.

When you enable intermediation through WSAM or JSAM using these options, the IVE automatically enables the Secure Application Manager option on the Users > User Roles > Select Role > General > Overview page of the admin console.

NOTE: You cannot enable WSAM and JSAM for the same role. Therefore, if you try to create a Citrix resource profile that uses one of these access mechanisms (for instance, JSAM) and another profile associated with role already uses the other access mechanism (for instance, WSAM), the IVE does not enable the new access mechanism (JSAM) for the role. Also note that you can only use WSAM or JSAM to configure access to one Citrix application per user role.

11. In the Autopolicy: Web Access Control section, create a policy that allows or denies users access to the resource specified in the Web Interface (NFuse) URL field. (By default, the IVE automatically creates a policy for you that enables access to the resource and all of its sub-directories.) For more detailed instructions, see Defining a Web access control autopolicy on page 290. 12. If you selected one of the Web interface options in above, update the SSO policy created by the Citrix template in the Autopolicy: Single Sign on section. (Single sign-on autopolicies configure the IVE to automatically pass IVE data such as usernames and passwords to the Citrix application. The IVE automatically adds the most commonly used values to the single sign-on autopolicy based on the Citrix implementation you choose.) At minimum, you need to select the Autopolicy: Single Sign on checkbox, double-click the Value in the Domain column, fill in the appropriate domain, and click the check mark on the right side of the column. For more detailed instructions, see Specifying remote SSO autopolicy options on page 294. Or, if you selected the non-Web interface option, you may optionally create your own single sign-on autopolicy using instructions in Defining a single signon autopolicy on page 292. 13. Click Save and Continue. 14. In the Roles tab, select the roles to which the Citrix resource profile applies and click Add. The selected roles inherit the autopolicies and bookmarks created by the Citrix resource profile. If it is not already enabled, the IVE also automatically enables the Web option in the Users > User Roles > Select Role > General > Overview page of the admin console and the Allow Java Applets option Users > User Roles > Select Role > Web > Options page of the admin console for all of the roles you select. 15. Click Save Changes.

16. (Optional) In the Bookmarks tab, modify the default bookmark created by the IVE and/or create new ones using instructions in Defining a Web bookmark on page 305. (By default, the IVE creates a bookmark to the Web interface (NFuse) URL defined in the Web Interface (NFuse) URL field and displays it to all users assigned to the role specified in the Roles tab.)

Defining resource profiles: Microsoft OWA

A Microsoft Outlook Web Access (OWA) template is a resource profile that controls access to the application and configures OWA settings as necessary. OWA templates significantly reduce your configuration time by consolidating configuration settings into one place and by pre-populating a variety of resource policy settings for you depending on the type of setup you select. The pre-populated values vary depending on the version of OWA you select and are based on the most common deployment of the servers. To create a resource profile using the Microsoft OWA template: 1. Navigate to the Users > Resource Profiles > Web Applications/Pages page in the admin console. 2. Click New Profile. 3. Select Microsoft OWA 2000 or Microsoft OWA 2003 from the Type list. 4. Enter a unique name and optionally a description for the Citrix resource profile. 5. In the Base URL field, enter the URL of the OWA resource to which you want to control access using the format: [protocol://]host[:port][/path]. The IVE uses the specified URL to define the default bookmark for the OWA resource profile. You may enter a directory URL or a file URL. For detailed guidelines on how to format Web resources, see Defining base URLs on page 290. 6. Select Allow caching on client to let Web browsers store non-user data, such as Javascript and CSS files, on a users machine. Select Minimize caching on client to allow the IVE to send a cache-control:no-store header or a cachecontrol:no-cache header based on the users Web browser and content type. This is the same as smart caching. The Allow caching on client option caches content the backend OWA server typically caches. This caching option improves performance by using the cached content instead of retrieving the content from the server the next time the page displays. The Minimize caching on client option provides security by sending a cache-control:no-store header or a cache-control:no-cache header to either not store content or to re-validate the cached content each time it is requested. With both caching option, you can choose to either allow or prevent the uploading or downloading of attachments. 7.

When you select this option, the IVE masks IP addresses and host names in the users: Web browser address bar (when the user navigates to a page) Web browser status bar (when a user hovers over a hyperlink) HTML source files (when the user chooses to View Source) The host name encoding feature (also called host name obfuscation or URL obfuscation) prevents casual observers from noting the URL of an internal resource by obscuring the target server within the URL without masking the full path name, target file, or port number. For example, if a user navigates to www.msn.com without selective rewriting or host name encoding enabled, the IVE displays an un-obscured URL in his Web browsers address bar:
http://www.msn.com/

Defining role settings: Web URLs

Juniper Networks Secure Access Administration Guide

If you then enable selective rewriting, the IVE might display the following URL:
https://mycompanyserver.com/,DanaInfo=www.msn.com,SSO=U+

If you then enable host name encoding, and the same user navigates to the same site, he sees a URL in which the host name (www.msn.com) is obscured:
https://i5.asglab.juniper.net/,DanaInfo=.awxyCqxtGkxw,SSO=U+

Host name encoding uses a lightweight reversible algorithm so that users can bookmark encoded URLs. (The IVE can translate the encoded URL and resolve it back to the original URL.) For compatibility, previously created bookmarks to unmasked URLs continue to work when host name encoding is enabled.
NOTE:

If you enable selective rewriting and host name encoding, the IVE only obscures the host names and IP addresses of those servers that you have chosen to rewrite using the selective rewrite feature. If you enable the framed toolbar and host name encoding, the IVE does not obscure host names that the user enters in the framed toolbars browse field. The IVE does not obscure host names and IP addresses in log entries, including host name encoding log entries. 5. Click Save Changes.

Configuring advanced Web browsing options

To configure advanced Web browsing options for a role: 1. In the admin console, choose Users > User Roles > RoleName > Web > Options. 2. Select the View advanced options checkbox. 3. Select Allow Java applets if you want to enable users to browse to Web pages containing client-side Java applets. The IVE server appears to the application server as a browser over SSL. The IVE transparently handles any HTTP requests and TCP connections initiated by a Java applet and handles signed Java applets. If you enable this feature, users can launch Java applets and run applications that are implemented as client-side Java applets, such as the Virtual Computing (VNC) Java client, Citrix NFuse Java client, WRQ Reflections Web client, and Lotus WebMail. For more information, see Defining a Java access control autopolicy on page 298. 4. Select Allow Flash content to enable the IVE to intermediate Flash content through its Content Intermediation Engine. Note that IVE provides limited support for ActionScript 2.0 and Flash Remoting, and does not support XMLSocket connections.

5. Select Persistent cookies to enable users to customize their browsing experiences by enabling them to keep persistent cookies. By default, the IVE flushes Web cookies that are stored during a user session. A user can delete cookies through the Advanced Preferences page if you enable this option. 6. Select Unrewritten pages open in new window to configure the IVE to open content in a new browser window when a user access a un-rewritten Web page. Opening content in a new windows can help remind users that they still have a secure session. When a user request is made to a resource to which this option applies, the IVE displays a page that contains a link to the requested resource and directs the users to click on the link. This link opens the resource in a new browser window and the page from which the request originates continues to display in the IVE. If you un-check this box, users might not realize that their IVE session is still active and that to return to the IVE, they need to use the browsers Back button. Users must return to the IVE to sign out. If they simply close the browser window, their sessions remain active until the session time limit expires. 7. Select Allow browsing untrusted SSL Web servers to enable users to access untrusted Web sites through the IVE. Untrusted Web sites are those whose server certificates are not installed through the System > Configuration > Certificates > Trusted Servers CAs tab of the admin console. For more information, see Using trusted server CAs on page 621. If you enable this option, you can specify what choices the IVE gives users when they navigate to an untrusted Web site: Warn users about the certificate problemsIf enabled, the IVE displays a warning to the user when he first accesses an untrusted Web site telling him why the sites certificate is untrusted and allowing him to either continue or cancel. If the user chooses to continue after the IVE displays a warning, the IVE does not display any more warnings for that site during the current IVE session.
NOTE: If you select the Warn users about the certificate problems option and the user accesses non-HTML content (such as images, js, and css) served from a different SSL server than the HTML page, the page containing the links may not display correctly. You can avoid this problem either by deselecting this option or by uploading a valid production SSL certificate on the servers that serve the nonHTML content.

Allow users to bypass warnings on a server-by-server basisIf enabled, the IVE allows the user to suppress all further warnings for an untrusted Web site. If a user chooses this option, he never sees a warning for this site again, provided that he accesses it from the current IVE or cluster.
NOTE: If you choose to allow users to access untrusted Web sites without seeing a

warning, the IVE still logs a message to the user access log whenever a user navigates to an untrusted site. Also note that if a user chooses to suppress warnings, he can clear the persistent settings of the untrusted Web sites using the Delete Passwords option in the System > Preferences > Advanced tab in the end user console. 8. Select Rewrite file:// URLs to configure the IVE to rewrite file:// URLs so that they are routed through the IVEs file browsing CGI. 9. Select Rewrite links in PDF files to configure the IVE to rewrite hyperlinks in PDFs. 10. Under HTTP Connection Timeout, accept the default value or set the duration to tell the IVE how long to wait for a response from an HTTP server before timing out and closing the connection. Use values from 30 to 1800 seconds.
NOTE: Higher timeout values might exhaust IVE resources if applications do not close connections properly or take too long to close the connections. Unless an application requires a higher timeout value, we recommend accepting the default value.

Defining resource policies: Overview

When you enable the Web access feature for a role, you need to create resource policies that specify which resources a user can access, whether or not the IVE needs to rewrite the content requested by the user, and caching, applet, or single sign-on requirements. For every Web request, the IVE first evaluates the rewriting policies you configure1. If the users request is to a resource specified as dont rewrite due to either a selective rewriting or pass-through proxy resource policy, then the IVE forwards the users request to the appropriate back-end resource. Otherwise, the IVE continues to evaluate those resource policies corresponding to the request, such as Java resource policies for a request to fetch a Java applet. After matching a users request to a resource listed in a relevant policy, the IVE performs the action specified for the resource. You can create resource policies through the standard interface (as described in this section) or through resource profiles (recommended method).

1. If you do not configure rewriting resource policies, then the IVE continues the evaluation process using the policies that apply to the user request.

322

Defining resource policies: Overview

Chapter 13: Web rewriting

When writing a Web resource policy, you need to supply key information: ResourcesA resource policy must specify one or more resources to which the policy applies. When writing a Web policy, you need to specify Web servers or specific URLs, as explained in the section that follows. RolesA resource policy must specify the roles to which it applies. When a user makes a request, the IVE determines what policies apply to the role and then evaluates those policies that correspond to the request. ActionsEach type of resource policy performs a certain action, which is either to allow or deny a resource or to perform or not perform some function, such as rewrite content, re-sign an applet, or post Web data. You can also write detailed rules that apply more conditions to a user request. See Writing a detailed rule on page 88. The IVE platforms engine that evaluates resource policies requires that the resources listed in a policys Resources list follow a canonical format, as explained in Specifying resources for a resource policy on page 83. This section outlines special considerations you must consider when specifying a Web resource using the canonical format. Canonical format: [protocol://]host[:ports][/path] The four components are: Protocol (optional)Possible values: http and https (case-insensitive) If the protocol is missing, then both http and https are assumed. If a protocol is specified, then the delimiter :// is required. No special characters are allowed. Host (required)Possible values: DNS HostnameFor example: www.juniper.com Special characters allowed are described in the following table:
Table 23: DNS hostname special characters
* % ?

Matches ALL characters Matches any character except dot (.) Matches exactly one character

IP address/NetmaskThe IP address needs to be in the format: a.b.c.d The netmask can be in one of two formats: Prefix: High order bits IP: a.b.c.d

Defining resource policies: Overview

Juniper Networks Secure Access Administration Guide

For example: 10.11.149.2/24 or 10.11.149.2/255.255.255.0 No special characters are allowed. PortsYou must specify a port when specifying IP/netmask as a resource. The port is optional when specifying a DNS host name. If a port is specified, then the delimiter : is required. For example: 10.11.149.2/255.255.255.0:*
Table 24: Port possible values
* port[,port]* [port1]-[port2]

Matches ALL ports; no other special characters are allowed A comma-delimited list of single ports. Valid port numbers are [165535]. A range of ports, from port1 to port2, inclusive.

NOTE: You can mix port lists and port ranges, such as: 80,443,8080-8090

If the port is missing, then the default port 80 is assigned for http, 443 for https. Path (optional)If the path is missing, then star (*) is assumed, meaning ALL paths match. If a path is specified, then the delimiter / is required. No other special characters are supported. For example:
http://www.juniper.com:80/* https://www.juniper.com:443/intranet/* *.yahoo.com:80,443/* %.danastreet.net:80/share/users/<username>/*

Defining resource policies: Web access

Web access resource policies control which Web resources users can access in order to connect to the Internet, intranet, or extranet. You can deny or allow access to Web resources by URL or IP range. For URLs, you can use the * and ? wildcards to efficiently specify multiple host names and paths. For resources that you specify by host name, you can also choose either HTTP, HTTPS, or both protocols. To write a Web Access resource policy: 1. In the admin console, choose Users > Resource Policies > Web > Access > Web ACL. 2. On the Web Access Policies page, click New Policy. 3. On the New Policy page, enter: a.

For an example Web resource policy, see the figures in Defining resource policies: Overview on page 322.

Defining resource policies: Single sign-on

Single sign-on policies enable you to automatically pass user credentials to the Web application specified in your policy. You can configure single sign-on policies to intercept basic authentication and NTLM challenges, display an intermediate sign-in page to collect credentials for the Web resource, and then rewrite the credentials along with the entire challenge/response sequence. Or, you can post the credentials and headers that you specify to the Web application.

Writing a Basic Authentication or NTLM Intermediation resource policy

Basic Authentication or NTLM Intermediation resource policies enable you to control NTLM intermediation on the IVE. If a user accesses a Web resource that sends a basic authentication challenge, the IVE can intercept the challenge, display an intermediate sign-in page to collect credentials for the Web resource, and then rewrite the credentials along with the entire challenge/response sequence. To write a Basic Authentication or NTLM Intermediation resource policy: 1. In the admin console, navigate to Users > Resource Policies > Web. 2. If your administrator view is not already configured to show SSO policies, make the following modifications: a. Click the Customize button in the upper right corner of the page.

In the Action section, specify: BasicThis option specifies that the IVE use the Basic Authentication Intermediation method to control SSO behavior. Enable IntermediationWhen you select this option, you must also specify the type of Basic Authentication Intermediation: Use System Credentials for SSO, Use Specified Credentials for SSO, or Disable SSO. These three options are described under the NTLM item, below. Disable IntermediationWhen you select this option, The IVE does not intermediate the challenge/response sequence.
NOTE:

The IVE always intermediates requests to Web proxies that require basic authentication, even if you select Disable Intermediation. Although you are given an option to disable basic authentication intermediation, we do not recommend this option, as it is a very insecure authentication method and, in some cases, can transmit user credentials over the network in clear (unencrypted) text. NTLMThis option specifies that the IVE use the Microsoft NTLM Intermediation method to control SSO behavior. Use System Credentials for SSOThe IVE intermediates the challenge/response sequence, caches the credentials it collects, and uses them to enable single sign-on based on any system credentials you have previously configured on the IVE. Use Specified Credentials for SSOThe IVE intermediates the challenge/response sequence, caches the credentials it collects, and uses them to enable single sign-on. When you select this option, you must also specify the following Intermediation credential parameters: UsernameSpecifies the SSO user name that the IVE uses to validate sign-in credentials. Variable passwordSpecifies the SSO variable password that the IVE uses to validate sign-in credentials. The variable password is the text, <PASSWORD> and means that the IVE uses the users sign-in password as the authentication method when presenting credentials for SSO.

PasswordSpecifies the static SSO password that the IVE uses to validate sign-in credentials. For example, you can specify a password like open_sesame that the IVE automatically presents to the authentication server when intermediating user credentials. DomainSpecifies the domain name. Use the <userDN.DC> variable if you are using an LDAP server. The IVE populates this variable with the domain name. If left blank, the IVE sends the domain returned from the NTLM challenge to the server as part of the NTLM response.

Policy applies to all roles OTHER THAN those selected belowTo apply this policy to all users except for those who map to the roles in the Selected roles list. Make sure to add roles to this list from the Available roles list. 8. In the Action section, select one of the following options: Smart Caching (send headers appropriate for content and browser) Select this option to allow the IVE to send a cache-control:no-store header or a cache-control:no-cache header based on the users Web browser and content type. When you select this option, the IVE makes media files and zip files work properly by removing their origin server's cache-control headers. For example, the following logic searches for msie or windows-media-player in user-agent headers in order to remove cache or cache-control:no-store response headers and make the files cacheable:
(if content type has "audio/x-pn-realaudio" OR if content type begins with "video/" OR if content type begins with "audio/" OR if content type is "application/octet-stream" and the file extension begins with "rm" or "ram" )

If the IVE finds msie or windows-media-player in the user-agent header and any of the following apply: Request is for Flash, .xls, .pps, .ppt files Content-type is application/, text/rtf, text/xml, model/ Origin server sends a content-disposition header then IVE sends the cache-control:no-store header and removes the origin server's cache-control header.

Defining resource policies: Caching

333

Juniper Networks Secure Access Administration Guide

In all other cases, the IVE adds the pragma:no-cache or cache-control:nostore response headers.
NOTE: Citrix .ica and QuickPlace files get some special treatment. Citrix .ica files are always cacheable and get cache-control-private as well. QuickPlace files that do not match a specified rule files (which takes precedence) get CCNS and cachecontrol:private.

Also note that if you select this option, enable GZIP compression, and try to access a text file attachment using Domino Web Access 6.5 through Internet Explorer, you cannot open the attachment. To enable text attachments, you must either install the Internet Explorer 323308 patch or enable the Don't Cache (send "Cache Control: No Store") option. Don't Cache (send "Cache Control: No Store")Select this option to deliver attachments to Internet Explorer without saving them to the disk. (The browser temporarily writes files to the disk, but immediately removes them once it has opened the file in the browser.) When you select this option, the IVE removes the origin server's cache-control header and adds a cache-control:no-store response header if the user-agent string sent by the browser contains msie or windows-media-player. This option might slow browsing by causing repeated content fetches, which can cause performance issues on very slow connections. Alternatively, you can specify a policy that allows certain kinds of content to be cached, such as images that do not exceed a specified size limit. Don't Cache (send "Pragma: No Cache")Select this option to prevent the users browser from caching files to the disk. When you select this option, the IVE adds the standard HTTP pragma:no-cache header and cachecontrol:no-cache (CCNC) header (HTTP 1.1) to response files. Also, the IVE does not forward the origin server's caching headers, such as age, date, etag, last-modified, expires.
NOTE: When no-cache headers are present on certain types of attachments (PDF, PPT, streaming files), Internet Explorer does not properly render the documents because the rendering process requires the browser to temporarily writes these files to cache.

Unchanged (do not add/modify caching headers)The IVE does not add the pragma:no-cache or cache-control:no-store response headers and forwards the origin server's caching headers. Use Detailed RulesTo specify one or more detailed rules for this policy. See Writing a detailed rule on page 88 for more information. 9. Click Save Changes. 10.

For an example Web resource policy, see the figures in Defining resource policies: Overview on page 322.

Creating OWA and Lotus Notes caching resource policies

The following tables include examples of some of the content types that the IVE supports with the Outlook Web Access (OWA) and Lotus iNotes applications. Additionally, it specifies the cache control directives that you must implement in Microsoft Internet Explorer in order to support opening and saving the specified content types. Note that for performance reasons, we recommend creating caching policies for everything in the iNotes directory.

Specifying general caching options

You can use caching options to specify the maximum image file size that is cached on a client. If the content-type header from the origin server begins with "image/" and the content-length header specifies a size less than the maximum size configured for this option, then the IVE passes along the origin server's caching headers. Otherwise, the IVE treats the request as though caching is disabled. To specify caching options: 1. In the admin console, navigate to Users > Resource Policies > Web.

For an example Web resource policy, see the figures in Defining resource policies: Overview on page 322.

Writing a Java code signing resource policy

Java code signing resource policies specify how the IVE rewrites Java applets. By default, when the IVE intermediates a signed Java applet, it re-signs the applet with its own certificate, which is not chained to a standard root certificate. When a user requests an applet that performs potentially high-risk tasks, such as accessing network servers, the users browser displays a security warning that the root is not a trusted root. To forestall this warning, you can import a code-signing certificate that the IVE uses to re-sign applets that it intermediates. For more information about code-signing certificates, see Using code-signing certificates on page 623. When configuring Java code signing resource policies, enter the servers from which you trust applets. You can enter a server IP address or domain name. The IVE only re-signs applets served by a trusted server. If a user requests an applet from server not on the list, the IVE does not use the imported production certificates to sign the applet, which means the user is prompted by the browser with a security warning. For Sun JVM users, the IVE additionally checks that the root CA of the original applet certificate is on its list of trusted root certificate authorities. To write a Java code signing resource policy: 1. In the admin console, navigate to Users > Resource Policies > Web. 2. If your administrator view is not already configured to show java policies, make the following modifications: a. Click the Customize button in the upper right corner of the page.

Creating a selective rewriting resource policy

Selective rewriting resource policies enable you to define a list of hosts for which you want the IVE to intermediate content as well as exceptions to this list. By default, the IVE intermediates all user requests to Web hostsunless you have configured the IVE to serve requests to certain hosts using a different mechanism, such as the Secure Application Manager. Create a selective rewriting policy if you do not want the IVE to intermediate traffic from Web sites that reside outside of the corporate network, such as yahoo.com, or if you do not want the IVE to intermediate traffic for client/server applications you have deployed as Web resources, such as Microsoft OWA (Outlook Web Access). To write a selective rewriting resource policy: 1. In the admin console, navigate to Users > Resource Policies > Web. 2. If your administrator view is not already configured to show rewriting policies, make the following modifications: a. Click the Customize button in the upper right corner of the page.

In the Action section, specify: Rewrite contentThe IVE intermediates all Web content from the resources specified in the Resources list.1 Rewrite content as...The IVE intermediates all Web content from the resources specified in the Resources list and rewrites the content as if it were the file type specified in the drop-down list.1 The available options are: HTMLRewrite content as Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) XMLRewrite content as Extensible Markup Language (XML) JavascriptRewrite content as Java scripting language VBScriptRewrite content as Virtual Basic scripting language CSSRewrite content as Cascading Style Sheets XSLTRewrite content as XML Style Sheets FlashRewrite content as Shockwave Flash DTDRewrite content as Document Type Definitions (DTD) HTCRewrite content as HTML component Dont rewrite content: Redirect to target Web serverThe IVE does not intermediate Web content from the resources specified in the Resources list and automatically redirects the request to the target Web server. This is the default option for all rewrite resource policies that you create. If you select this option, you might want to specify that the IVE open the unrewritten pages in a new window using options in Defining resource policies: General options on page 355.
NOTE: Do not select this option if the specified content needs to access resources inside your corporate network. For instance, if you specify that the IVE should not rewrite a particular file, and that file calls another file within your network, the user will see an error.

1. New IVE appliances come with an Initial Rewrite Policy that rewrites all content for all roles.

Defining resource policies: Rewriting

341

Juniper Networks Secure Access Administration Guide

Dont rewrite content: Do not redirect to target Web serverThe IVE retrieves the content from the original Web server, but does not modify it. This is useful in cases where users may not be able to reach the original server, thus disabling redirection. (For example, if the Web server is not accessible from the public internet because it resides behind a firewall.)
NOTE: The Dont rewrite content: Do not redirect to target Web server option allows users to download data from network resources via the IVE, but bypasses the IVE rewriting engine in the process. We recommend you use this feature only when rewriting signed Java appletsnot other content types. For other content types such as HTML and Javascript, use the Dont rewrite content: Redirect to target Web server option to download an applet via the IVE, thus enabling direct connections to network resources.

Use Detailed RulesTo specify one or more detailed rules for this policy. See Writing a detailed rule on page 88 for more information. 9. Click Save Changes. 10. On the Web Rewriting Policies page, order the policies according to how you want the IVE to evaluate them.

For an example Web resource policy, see the figures in Defining resource policies: Overview on page 322.

Creating a pass-through proxy resource policy

Pass-through proxy resource policies specify Web applications for which the IVE performs minimal intermediation, as explained in Passthrough-proxy overview on page 286. To create a pass-through proxy resource policy, you need to specify two things: Which Web application to intermediate with the pass-through proxy How the IVE listens for client requests to the application server To write a pass-through proxy resource policy: 1. In the admin console, navigate to Users > Resource Policies > Web. 2. If your administrator view is not already configured to show rewriting policies, make the following modifications: a. Click the Customize button in the upper right corner of the page.

b. Select the Rewriting checkbox. c. Select the Passthrough Proxy checkbox below the Rewriting checkbox.

d. Click OK. 3. Select the Rewriting > Passthrough Proxy tab.

4. On the Passthrough Proxy Policies page, click New Application. 5. On the New Passthrough Application page, enter: a. A name to label this policy.

b. A description of the policy (optional). 6. In the URL field, specify the application server host name and the port used to access the application internally. Note that you cannot enter a path in this field. 7. Choose the way in which you want to enable the pass-through proxy feature: Use virtual hostnameIf you choose this option, specify a host name alias for the application server. When the IVE receives a client request for the application server host name alias, it forwards the request to the specified application server port in the URL field.
NOTE:

If you choose this option, you must also define the IVE name and host name in the Network Identity section of the System > Network > Internal Port tab. In order to make Sharepoint work successfully through the IVE, you must select the Override automatic cookie handling checkbox in Internet Explorer under Tools Internet options > Privacy > Advanced Privacy Settings if the following conditions true: You select the Use virtual hostname option during Pass Through Proxy configuration. The virtual hostname that you specify in your Sharepoint configuration is different from the hostname that you configure through IVE setup (that is, if the domains are different). You enable persistent cookies through the Users > User Roles > Select Role > General > Session Options page of the admin console. Use IVE portIf you choose this option, specify a unique IVE port in the range 11000-11099. The IVE listens for client requests to the application server on the specified IVE port and forwards any requests to the application server port specified in the URL field. 8. In the Action section, specify the method for the IVE to use to intermediate traffic: Rewrite XMLIf you select this option, the IVE rewrites URLs contained within XML content. If you disable this option, the IVE passes the XML content as is to the server. Rewrite external linksIf you select this option, the IVE rewrites all URLs. If you disable this option, the IVE rewrites only those URLs that contain a hostname specified in the pass-through proxy policy.

Block cookies from being sent to the browserIf you select this option, the IVE blocks cookies destined for the clients browser. The IVE stores the cookies locally and sends them to applications whenever they are requested. Host-Header forwardingIf you select this option, the IVE passes the hostname as part of the host header instead of the actual host identifier.
NOTE: The Host-Header forwarding option is only valid in pass-through proxy

Virtual Host mode. 9. Click Save Changes. 10. On the Pass-through Proxy Policies page, order the policies according to how you want the IVE to evaluate them. Keep in mind that once the IVE matches the application requested by the user to an application specified in a policys (or a detailed rules) Resource list, it performs the specified action and stops processing policies. 11. If you select: Use virtual hostname, you must also: i. ii. Add an entry for each application server host name alias in your external DNS that resolves to the IVE. Upload a wildcard server certificate to the IVE (recommended). For more information about wildcard certificates, see Associating a certificate with a virtual port on page 606.

Use IVE port, open traffic to the IVE port you specified for the application server in your corporate firewall.
NOTE: If your application listens on multiple ports, configure each application port as a separate pass-through proxy entry with a separate IVE port. If you intend to access the server using different host names or IP addresses, configure each of those options separately; in this case, you can use the same IVE port.

For an example Web resource policy, see the figures in Defining resource policies: Overview on page 322.

Creating a custom header resource policy

By default, the IVE rewriting engine only sends selected custom headers to browsers (clients) and backend servers. You can use custom header resource policies, however, to allow or deny custom headers for specific resources.
NOTE: Note that custom header resource policies do not control standard HTTP headers such as Content-Type.

For an example Web resource policy, see the figures in Defining resource policies: Overview on page 322.

Creating an ActiveX parameter resource policy

When the IVE rewrites a Web page, it does not rewrite the ActiveX controls that are embedded in the Web page. However, you can create resource policies specifying that the IVE should rewrite the URL and host name parameters that are passed by the Web page to the Active X controls. To configure these resource policies, you must obtain the following information: Class IDWeb pages generally use a class ID to embed an ActiveX control. A class ID is a unique, constant string that uniquely identifies an ActiveX control. You can determine what an ActiveX object's class ID is using Internet Explorer 6: Select Tools > Internet Options, click Settings, and then click View Objects. Select the ActiveX object, right-click, and select Properties. The ActiveX objects ID is highlighted. LanguageWeb pages can use either static or dynamic HTML (that is, by using JavaScript) to embed an Active X control. When a Web page uses static HTML, the IVE can rewrite the specified ActiveX parameters on the IVE itself while it intermediates traffic, since all of the required information passes between the user's browser and the application's Web server. When a Web page uses dynamic HTML to embed an ActiveX control, however, the page frequently pulls information from the client and then generates HTML to embed the ActiveX control. Therefore, the IVE needs to run script in the user's browser in order to obtain the information it needs to rewrite the specified ActiveX parameters. Parameter typeWhen configuring the IVE to rewrite a parameter, you must determine whether the parameter is a URL or host name. The IVE does not support any other parameter types. Parameter nameYou must specify the name of the parameter that you want the IVE to rewrite. You can find the parameters by searching for the param tag within an object tag. For example, you might find a flash movie embedded in a page using the following code:
<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" > <param name="movie" value="mymovie.swf" /> <param name="quality" value="high" /> </object>

When configuring the corresponding resource policy, you should enter movie in the Parameter name field because movie refers to the URL requires rewriting. Frequently, pages contain multiple param tags, but not all of them require rewriting. In this example, the quality parameter does not require rewriting.

You can enable this policy through the Users > Resource Policies > Web > Compression pages of the admin console. To write a Web compression resource policy: 1. In the admin console, navigate to Users > Resource Policies > Web. 2. If your administrator view is not already configured to show compression policies, make the following modifications: a. Click the Customize button in the upper right corner of the page.

b. Select the Compression checkbox. c. Click OK.

3. Select the Compression tab. 4. On the Web Compression Policies page, click New Policy. 5. On the New Policy page, enter: a. A name to label this policy.

b. A description of the policy (optional). 6. In the Resources section, specify the URLs to which this policy applies. See Specifying resources for a resource policy on page 83 for more information. To enable IP-based or case sensitivity matching for these resources, see Defining resource policies: General options on page 355. 7. In the Roles section, specify: Policy applies to ALL rolesTo apply this policy to all users. Policy applies to SELECTED rolesTo apply this policy only to users who are mapped to roles in the Selected roles list. Make sure to add roles to this list from the Available roles list. Policy applies to all roles OTHER THAN those selected belowTo apply this policy to all users except for those who map to the roles in the Selected roles list. Make sure to add roles to this list from the Available roles list. 8. In the Action section, specify: CompressThe IVE compresses the supported content types from the specified resource.

Do not compressThe IVE does not compress the supported content types from the specified resource. Use Detailed RulesTo specify one or more detailed rules for this policy. See Writing a detailed rule on page 88 for more information. 9. Click Save Changes.

Defining an OWA compression resource policy

Due to caching issues with OWA, the IVE comes with the following built-in resource policies specifying that the IVE should not compress Javascript or CSS files that are routed through OWA: 1. Do Not Compress *:*/exchWeb/controls/*.css (all roles) 2. Do Not Compress *:*/exchWeb/controls/*.js (all roles) 3. Do Not Compress *:*/exchWeb/*/controls/*.css (all roles) 4. Do Not Compress *:*/exchWeb/*/controls/*.js (all roles) In the last two policies, a wildcard (*) is included in the path to account for different OWA build versions. Juniper Networks recommends that you do not change the compression resource policies for OWA unless absolutely necessary.

Defining resource policies: Web proxy

Web proxy resource policies specify Web proxy servers for which the IVE should intermediate content. Note that the IVE intermediates both forward and backwards proxies, but only enables single sign-on to a proxy when you use these tabs to configure the proxy and thereby specify that you trust it. For more information, see Single sign-on on page 191. This section contains the following information about Web proxy resource policies: Writing a Web proxy resource policy on page 351 Specifying Web proxy servers on page 353

Defining resource policies: HTTP 1.1 protocol

Protocol resource policies enable or disable HTTP 1.1 protocol support between the IVE and backend servers. The IVE supports chunked Transfer-Encoding, gzip and deflate Content-Encoding, connection persistence, and caching headers such as IfModified-Since, If-None-Match, If-Unmodified-Since and If-Match. The IVE supports range requests with partial content when you select the Dont rewrite content: Do not redirect to target web server selective rewrite option.
NOTE:

For a detailed description of the HTTP 1.1 protocol, refer to the Hyptertext Transfer Protocol -- HTTP 1.1 specification from the World Wide Web Consortium. The IVE only communicates with network servers using HTTP 1.1 if the client also communicates using HTTP 1.1. If the client uses HTTP 1.0, the IVE communicates with backend servers using HTTP 1.0, regardless of whether or not HTTP 1.1 is enabled. If you want to use HTTP 1.1 for a specific resource, enable HTTP 1.1 for that policy and ensure that the new policy appears above the default in the list of configured policies. You should add the HTTP 1.1 policy to the top of the policy list because the policy evaluation engine evaluates policies from top to bottom, stopping when it encounters a match. For more information, see Resource policy evaluation on page 86. The IVE comes with a default policy that disables HTTP 1.1 for all resources. If you want to use HTTP 1.1 for all resources, either redefine the *:*/* policy or create a new policy enabling HTTP 1.1 and move it to the top of your policy list. If you delete this default policy (and any other policies that disable HTTP 1.1), the IVE uses HTTP 1.0 for all resources To write an HTTP 1.1 protocol resource policy: 1. In the admin console, navigate to Users > Resource Policies > Web. 2. If your administrator view is not already configured to show protocol policies, make the following modifications: a. Click the Customize button in the upper right corner of the page.

b. Select the Protocol checkbox. c. Click OK.

Defining resource policies: General options

When you enable the Web resource policy options described in this section, the IVE compiles a list of host names specified in the Resources field of each Web resource policy. The IVE then applies the enabled options to this comprehensive list of host names. To specify Web resource options: 1. In the admin console, navigate to Users > Resource Policies > Web. 2. If your administrator view is not already configured to show Web options, make the following modifications: a. Click the Customize button in the upper right corner of the page.

b. Select the Options checkbox. c. Click OK.

3. Select the Options tab. 4. Select IP based matching for Hostname based policy resources if you want the to IVE look up IP address corresponding to each host name specified in a Web resource policy. When a user tries to access a server by specifying an IP address rather than the host name, the IVE compares the IP to its cached list of IP addresses to determine if a host name matches an IP. If there is a match, then the IVE accepts the match as a policy match and applies the action specified for the resource policy.
NOTE: This option does not apply to host names that include wildcards and parameters.

5. Select Case sensitive matching for the Path and Query string components in Web resources if you want to require users to enter a case-sensitive URL to a resource. For example, use this option when passing username or password data in a URL. 6. Click Save Changes.

Managing resource policies: Customizing UI views

You can control which Web resource policy configuration pages the IVE displays so that you only have to view those pages that you actually use. Or, if you have a new IVE installation, you can use these settings to display additional pages (since the IVE only displays the most commonly used resource policy pages to new users). To control which Web resource policy configuration pages the IVE displays: 1. Navigate to Users > Resource Policies > Web > Policy Type. 2. Click the Customize View button in the upper right corner of the console:

3. In the Customize View dialog box, specify which Web resource policies you want to display in the admin console. You may manually select individual checkboxes, click All Pages to display all Web resource policy configuration pages, or click Common Pages to display the most commonly used Web resource policy configuration pages. (Note that the IVE does not allow you to hid the Web Access Policies page.) 4. Click OK.

Hosted Java applets

The IVE Java applet upload feature enables you to store the Java applets of your choice directly on the IVE without employing a separate Web server to host them. When you use this feature, you simply upload the applets to the IVE (along with additional files that the applets reference) and create a simple Web page through the IVE that references the files. Then, the IVE intermediates the Web page and Java applet content using its Content Intermediation Engine. This section contains the following information about hosting Java applets on the IVE: Licensing: Hosted Java applets availability on page 357 Task Summary: Hosting Java applets on page 357 Hosted Java applets overview on page 358 Defining resource profiles: Hosted Java applets on page 362 Use case: Creating a Citrix JICA 8.0 Java applet bookmark on page 368

Licensing: Hosted Java applets availability

The hosted Java applets feature is a standard feature on all Secure Access appliances except the SA 700. If you are using an SA-700 appliance, you must install a Core Clientless Access upgrade license in order to access the hosted Java applets feature.

Task Summary: Hosting Java applets

To host Java applets on the IVE: 1. Specify which applets you want to upload, create IVE bookmarks that reference the uploaded applets, and specify which roles can access the bookmarks using settings in the Users > Resource Profiles > Web > Hosted Java Applets page of the admin console. For instructions, see Defining resource profiles: Hosted Java applets on page 362. 2. If you choose to sign your Java applets, use settings in the System > Configuration > Certificates > Code-Signing Certificates page of the admin console to upload the Java certificate to the IVE (optional). If you choose to skip this step, the user sees an untrusted certificate warning each time he accesses the corresponding bookmark. For instructions, see Using code-signing certificates on page 623. 3. (Optional) To improve the performance of your Java applications: a. Select Enable Java instrumentation caching on the Maintenance > System > Options page of the admin console. This option can improve the performance of downloading Java applications. For more information, see Setting system options on page 575.

b. After you finish configuring the IVE, cache your Java applet and access it as end-user. This action eliminates the performance hit that occurs through the intermediation engine when the first end-user accesses the applet.

Chapter 14: Hosted Java applets

For example, you might want to use the IVE to intermediate traffic between an IBM AS/400 system on your network and individual 5250 terminal emulators on your users computers. To configure the IVE to intermediate this traffic, obtain the 5250 terminal emulators Java applet. Then, you can upload this applet to the IVE and create a simple Web page that references the applet. After you create the Web page through the IVE, the IVE creates a corresponding bookmark that users can access through their home pages.
NOTE: Please note the following:

You must have a good understanding of Java applets, Java applet parameters, and HTML to use this feature. For information about intermediating Java applets that are hosted on an external server, see Defining resource policies: External Java applets on page 336. Configuration options for the hosted Java applet feature have moved to the Users > Resource Profiles > Web > Hosted Java Applets page in the admin console. If you are upgrading the product from a pre-5.3 version, the IVE automatically creates resource profiles from your old resource policies. If your old bookmark referenced multiple Java applets, the IVE creates a single container archive for the applets and associates the archive with your new resource profile. The following sections contain information about uploading, enabling, and accessing Java applets through the IVE: Uploading Java applets to the IVE on page 359 Signing uploaded Java applets on page 360 Creating HTML pages that reference uploaded Java applets on page 361 Accessing Java applet bookmarks on page 361 Use case: Creating a Citrix JICA 8.0 Java applet bookmark on page 368

Uploading Java applets to the IVE

The IVE Java applet upload feature enables you to store the Java applets of your choice directly on the IVE without employing a separate Web server to host them. You can then use these applets to intermediate traffic to various types of applications through the IVE. For example, you can upload the 3270 applet, 5250 applet, or Citrix Java applet to the IVE. These applets enable users to establish sessions to IBM mainframes, AS/400s, and Citrix MetaFrame servers through terminal emulators. (Note that to enable the Citrix Java ICA client through an IVE session, you must upload multiple Citrix .jar and .cab files to the IVE. For more information, see Use case: Creating a Citrix JICA 8.0 Java applet bookmark on page 368.)

Hosted Java applets overview

359

Juniper Networks Secure Access Administration Guide

The IVE enables you to upload individual .jar and .cab files or .zip, .cab, or .tar archive files. Archive files can contain Java applets and files referenced by the applets. Within the .zip, .cab, or .tar file, the Java applet must reside at the top level of the archive. You can upload any number of files to the IVE as long as their combined size does not exceed 100 MB. To ensure compatibility with both Sun and Microsoft Java Virtual Machines (JVMs), you must upload both .jar and .cab files to the IVE. (The Sun JVM uses .jar files, whereas the Microsoft JVM uses .cab files.)
NOTE:

When you upload Java applets to the IVE, the IVE asks you to read a legal agreement before it finishes installing the applets. Please read this agreement carefullyit obligates you to take full responsibility for the legality, operation, and support of the Java applets that you upload. You can only upload 100 MB of Java applets to the IVE. The IVE displays the size of each applet that you upload to the IVE on the Java Applets page so you can determine, if necessary, which applets you want to delete. Uploading Java applets requires signed ActiveX or signed Java applets to be enabled within the browser to download, install, and launch the client applications. You can upload Java applets to the IVE using resource profiles. For instructions, see Defining resource profiles: Hosted Java applets on page 362.

Signing uploaded Java applets

Unlike other Java applets that users can access through the IVE, you do not have to create a separate code-signing policy for the Java applets that you upload to the IVE. The IVE automatically signs (or resigns) them using the appropriate code-signing certificate. A code-signing certificate (also called an applet certificate) is a type of server-side certificate that re-signs Java applets intermediated by the IVE, as explained in Using code-signing certificates on page 623. The IVE automatically signs (or resigns) your hosted Java applets with the codesigning certificate that you install through the System > Configuration > Certificates > Code-signing Certificates page of the admin console. If you do not install a code-signing certificate on the IVE, the IVE uses its self-signed applet certificate to sign or resign the applets. In this case, users see an untrusted certificate issuer warning whenever they access the Java applets through the IVE.
NOTE: The IVE re-instruments and re-signs your uploaded java applets whenever you change (that is, import, renew, or delete) the corresponding code-signing certificate on the IVE.

360

Hosted Java applets overview

Chapter 14: Hosted Java applets

Creating HTML pages that reference uploaded Java applets

When uploading a Java applet to the IVE, you must create a simple Web page that references the applet. Users can access this Web page through a bookmark on their IVE home pages or from external Web servers (as explained in Accessing Java applet bookmarks on page 361). The Web page must contain a simple HTML page definition that references the uploaded Java applet. The Web page can also contain any additional HTML and JavaScript that you choose. The IVE can generate some of this Web page for you, including the HTML page definition and the references to your Java applet. (Note, however, that the IVE is not aware of all the applet-specific parameters that are required by your appletyou must find and fill these parameters in yourself.) When the IVE generates this HTML, it creates place holders for any undefined values and prompts you to fill in the necessary values. You can create these Web pages through Java applet upload resource profiles. For instructions, see Defining a hosted Java applet bookmark on page 363.

Accessing Java applet bookmarks

Users can access the applets you upload to the IVE using two methods: Bookmarks on the IVE end user consoleWhen you create a Web page that references your uploaded Java applets, the IVE creates a corresponding link to the Web page and displays that link in the Bookmarks section of the IVE end user console. Users who map to the appropriate role can simply click the link to access the Java applet. Links on external Web serversUsers can link to the Java applet bookmarks from an external Web server by simply using the correct URLs. When the user enters a bookmarks URL (or clicks an external link that contains the URL), the IVE prompts the user to enter his IVE username and password. If he properly authenticates, the IVE allows him to access the bookmark. You can construct the URL to the Java applet bookmark using the syntax described in either of the following lines:
https://<IVE_hostname>/dana/home/launchWebapplet.cgi?bmname=<bookmar kName> https://<IVE_hostname>/dana/home/launchWebapplet.cgi?id=<resourceID>&b mname=<bookmarkName>

Hosted Java applets overview

361

Juniper Networks Secure Access Administration Guide

(You can determine the ID for a Java applet bookmark by accessing it through the IVE home page and then extracting the ID from the Web browsers address bar.)
NOTE:

Although the IVE enables you to create multiple bookmarks with the same name, we strongly recommend that you use a unique name for each. If multiple bookmarks have the same name and a user accesses one of these bookmarks using a URL that includes the bmname parameter, the IVE randomly picks which of the identically named bookmarks to display to the user. Also note that the bmname parameter is case-sensitive. If you create links on external servers to Java applet bookmarks on the IVE and you are using multiple customized sign-in URLs, some restrictions occur. For more information, see the note in Sign-in policies on page 181. For information about creating bookmarks, see Defining a hosted Java applet bookmark on page 363.

Defining resource profiles: Hosted Java applets

To create a hosted Java applet resource profile: 1. Navigate to the Users > Resource Profiles > Hosted Java Applet page in the admin console. 2. Click New Profile. 3. Enter a unique name and optionally a description for the resource profile. 4. In the Upload Applet Resources section: a. Browse to the applet that you want to upload to the IVE. You can upload applets (.jar or .cab files) or archives (.zip, .jar, and .tar files) that contain applets and all of the resources that the applets need.

b. Select the Expand uploaded archive checkbox if the actual Java applet is archived within the file you specified above. 5. If your Java applets need to make socket connections, use settings in the Autopolicy: Java Access Control section to enable access. For more detailed instructions, see Defining a Java access control autopolicy on page 298. 6. Click Save and Continue. 7. When the following upload agreement appears, read it and click OK if you accept its terms:

You can also add any additional HTML or JavaScript that you choose to this Web page definition. The IVE rewrites all of the code that you enter in this field.
NOTE: Make sure to enter unique HTML in this field. If you create two bookmarks with the same HTML code, the IVE deletes one of the bookmarks in the end-user view. You will still be able to see both bookmarks, however, in the administrator console.

4. Under Display options, click Bookmark opens new window to enable the IVE to automatically open the Web resource in a new browser window. Note that this functionality applies only to role bookmarks and not bookmarks created by users. Next, select the following options if you want to hide UI elements from the user: Do not display the browser address barSelect this option to remove the address bar from the browser window. This feature forces all Web traffic through the IVE by precluding users in the specified role from typing a new URL in the address bar, which circumvents the IVE. Do not display the browser toolbarSelect this option to remove the menu and toolbar from the browser. This feature removes all menus, browsing buttons, and bookmarks from the browser window so that the user browses only through the IVE. 5.

Then select roles from the ALL Selected Roles list and click Add to move them to the Subset of selected roles list. 6. Click Save Changes.

Required attributes for uploaded Java applets

When you create a Java applets bookmark through the IVE, you must define the following attributes and their corresponding values. If you use the Generate HTML feature, the IVE populates some of this information for you and adds PLEASE_SPECIFY to those attributes whose values you must specify. When specifying attributes and their corresponding values, use the attribute=value format.
NOTE: The IVE generates parameters that it knows are required. Note, however, that the IVE is not aware of all the applet-specific parameters that are required by your appletyou must find and fill in these parameters yourself.

Attributes that are required by the IVE include:

Defining resource profiles: Hosted Java applets

365

Juniper Networks Secure Access Administration Guide

codeIndicates which class file to invoke in your Java applet. Use this value to

point to your Java applets main function. Example:

applet code="com.citrix.JICA" codebaseIndicates where the Web browser can fetch the applet. Use the <<CODEBASE>> variable, which points to the location on the IVE where the IVE

stores the Java applet. When entering a path to a file, note that <<CODEBASE>> includes a trailing slash, which means the following example works:
<img src="<<CODEBASE>>path/to/file">

Whereas this example does not work:

<img src="<<CODEBASE>>/path/to/file"> archiveIndicates which archive file (that is, .jar, .cab, or .zip file) the Web

browser should fetch. Example:

archive="JICAEngN.jar" width and heightIndicates the size of the Java applet window (optional). Example: width="640" height="480" nameSpecifies a label for the Java applet (optional). Example: name="CitrixJICA" alignIndicates the Java applet windows alignment within the browser

window (optional). Example:

Chapter 14: Hosted Java applets

NOTE: When defining attributes and their corresponding values, please note the following:

We strongly recommend that you not include useslibrarycabbase parameter in the HTML, because it causes the cab file to be permanently installed on the users machine. If you later change a cab file on the IVE, all users will have to manually delete the cab files on their machines in order to get the new version from the IVE. We do not support applet tags that are constructed through the document.write function because the dynamic HTML interferes with the IVE's parser. We do not support relative links to URLs, documents, or images in your HTML. If you do, the links will break when the user tries to access them from the IVE end user console. Instead, you should include absolute links. If you are linking to a document or image included in your zip file, use the <<CODEBASE>> variable to indicate that the IVE can find the file in zip archive uploaded to the IVE. For example:
<img src="<<CODEBASE>>yourcompany_logo.gif" alt="YourCompany">

Required parameters for uploaded Java applets

When you create a Java applets bookmark through the IVE, you must specify parameters and values that the IVE should pass to the Java applet. These parameters are completely applet-specific. When specifying parameters and their corresponding values, use the following format:
<param name=parameterName value=valueName>

Where all of the text is literal except parameterName and valueName. You can use IVE variables to pass values to the Java applet by enclosing the variable names in double-brackets. For example, you might choose to pass the <<username>> and <<password>> values to the Java applet. For a list of available IVE variables, see System variables and examples on page 860. If you find a Web page that contains an applet that you want to use, go to the demonstration site and view the source on the page that runs the Java applet. Within the source, look at the applet tag. Pick out the code attribute in the source and determine if it contains any special parameters that you need to pass to the browser. In most cases, you should be able to copy/paste the code attribute and its corresponding parameters directly into the HTML field for your IVE bookmark. Note, however, that if a parameter references a resource on the local Web server, you cannot copy/paste the reference into the IVE bookmark since the IVE does not have access to the other Web servers local resources. When copy/pasting parameters from another source, always check the values of the parameters.

Use case: Creating a Citrix JICA 8.0 Java applet bookmark

This section discusses how to enable access to a Citrix Metaframe server through the IVE using the 8.0 Java version of the Citrix ICA client (JICA). To enable the Citrix JICA 8.0 client using the Java applet upload feature: 1. Import code-signing certificates as explained in Using code-signing certificates on page 623. 2. Zip up the following .jar and .cab files into a single archive:
JICA-configN.jar JICA-coreN.jar JICA-configM.cab JICA-coreM.cab

(You can find these files on the Citrix Web site.) 3. Create a hosted Java applet resource profile through the Users > Resource Profiles > Web > Hosted Java Applets page of the admin console. When defining the resource profile: a. Upload the archived Citrix container file to the IVE.

b. Select the Expand uploaded archive checkbox since the container file contains multiple jar and cab files. c. Specify any Metaframe servers to which these applets may connect.

d. Assign the resource profile to the appropriate roles. (For detailed instructions, see Defining resource profiles: Hosted Java applets on page 362.) 4. In the resource profiles Bookmarks tab, generate the Web page for the bookmark. The IVE automatically inserts all of the .jar and .cab files into the corresponding Web page. Then, specify parameters for the Citrix client using the following example as a guide. (Note that the bookmark below can contain references to the jar and cab files that are in the zip file.)
<html> <head> <title>CitrixJICA Applet.</title> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"> </head> <body> <applet code="com.citrix.JICA" codebase="<< CODEBASE >>" archive="JICA-configN.jar,JICA-coreN.jar" width="640" height="480"

File rewriting
A file resource profile controls access to resources on Windows server shares or Unix servers. This section contains the following information about configuring file writing options: Licensing: File rewriting availability on page 371 Defining resource profiles: File rewriting on page 371 Defining role settings: Windows resources on page 378 Defining resource policies: Windows file resources on page 381 Defining role settings: UNIX/NFS file resources on page 387 Defining resource policies: UNIX/NFS file resources on page 389

Licensing: File rewriting availability

File rewriting is a standard feature on all Secure Access appliances except the SA 700. If you are using an SA-700 appliance, you must install a Core Clientless Access upgrade license in order to access file rewriting features.

Defining resource profiles: File rewriting

A file resource profile controls access to resources on Windows server shares or Unix servers. (For more information about resource profiles, see Resource profiles on page 71.) To create a file rewriting resource profile: 1. Navigate to the Users > Resource Profiles > Files page in the admin console. 2. Click New Profile. 3. From the Type list, select Windows or Unix. 4. Enter a unique name and optionally a description for the resource profile. (This name becomes the default bookmarks name.)

Licensing: File rewriting availability

371

Juniper Networks Secure Access Administration Guide

5. Enter the resource to which you want to control access. Note that the format of the resource varies depending on which type of resource profile you are creating: WindowsEnter the server name or IP address, share name, and optionally the path that you want to control access to in the Server/share field. When entering the resource, use the format: \\server[\share[\path]]. UnixEnter the server name or IP address and optionally the path that you want to control access to in the Server field. When entering the resource, use the format: server[/path] For detailed guidelines, see Defining file resources on page 373. (The IVE uses the specified directory to define the default bookmark for the resource profile.) 6. In the Autopolicy: Windows File Access Control section or the Autopolicy: Unix Access Control section, create a policy that allows or denies users access to the resource specified the previous step. (At minimum, you need to click Add in order to use the access control policy that the IVE automatically creates for you. This policy allows access to the specified directory and all of its subdirectories.) For more detailed instructions, see Defining a file access control autopolicy on page 374. 7. (Optional) Click Show ALL autopolicy types to create additional autopolicies that fine-tune access to the resource. Then, create the autopolicies using instructions in the following sections: Defining a file compression autopolicy on page 374 Defining a single sign-on autopolicy (Windows only) on page 375

NOTE: For information about specifying encoding options for Window or Unix resources, see Encoding files on page 844. (Encoding is an advanced option that currently you can only configure through resource policies.)

8. Click Save and Continue. 9. In the Roles tab, select the roles to which the resource profile applies and click Add. The selected roles inherit the autopolicies and bookmarks created by the resource profile. If it is not already enabled, the IVE also automatically enables the Files, Windows option or the Files, UNIX/NFS option in the Users > User Roles > Select Role > General > Overview page of the admin console for all of the roles you select. 10. Click Save Changes.

11. (Optional) In the Bookmarks tab, modify the default bookmark created by the IVE and/or create new ones using instructions in Defining a file bookmark on page 376. (By default, the IVE creates a bookmark to the resource defined in the Windows or Unix field and displays it to all users assigned to the role specified in the Roles tab.)

Defining file resources

When creating a file resource profile (as explained in Defining resource profiles: File rewriting on page 371), you must use the following formats when defining a resource policys primary resource as well as its autopolicy resources. Windows resources:
\\server[\share[\path]]

Unix resources:
server[/path]

Within these formats, the three components are: Server (required)Possible values: HostnameYou may use the system variable <username> when defining the hostname. IP addressThe IP address needs to be in the format: a.b.c.d The leading two back slashes are required for Windows, non-Nfs resources. Share (required, Windows only)The system variable <username> is allowed. Note that when the IVE tries to connect to a Windows file share, it connects to ports 445 and 139. Path (optional)Special characters allowed include:
Table 28: Path special characters
*

Matches any character. Note that you cannot use the * wildcard character when defining a resource profiles primary resource (that is, the Server/share field for Windows resources or the Server field for Unix resources). Matches any character except slash (/) Matches exactly one character

% ?

Valid Windows resources include:

Defining a file access control autopolicy

File access control policies specify resources on your file servers that users may access. When defining a file resource profile, you must create a corresponding access control autopolicy that enables access to the profiles primary resource. The IVE simplifies the process for you by automatically creating an autopolicy that allows access to the directory specified in the Server/share field (Windows) or the Server field (Unix) and all of its sub-directories. To enable this autopolicy, you simply need to select it and click Add. If necessary, you may choose to modify this default autopolicy or create supplementary file access control autopolicies that allow or deny access to additional resources. To create a new file access control autopolicy: 1. Create a file resource profile, as explained in Defining resource profiles: File rewriting on page 371. 2. If it is not already enabled, select the Autopolicy: Windows File Access Control checkbox or the Autopolicy: Unix Access Control checkbox. 3. In the Resource field, specify the resource to which this policy applies using the format: \\server[\share[\path]] for Windows resources and \\server[\path] for Unix resources. For detailed guidelines, see Defining file resources on page 373. 4. From the Action list, select one of the following options: AllowSelect this option to enable access to the specified resource. Read-onlySelect this option to allow users to view but not edit the specified resource. DenySelect this option to block access to the specified resource. 5. Click Add. 6. Click Save Changes.

Defining a file compression autopolicy

Compression autopolicies specify which types of file data the IVE should compress when you enable GZIP compression through the Maintenance > System > Options page of the admin console. For more information, see Compression execution on page 839.

374

Defining resource profiles: File rewriting

Chapter 15: File rewriting

To create a file compression autopolicy: 1. Create a file resource profile, as explained in Defining resource profiles: File rewriting on page 371. 2. Click Show ALL autopolicy types. 3. Select the Autopolicy: Windows File Compression checkbox or the Autopolicy: Unix File Compression checkbox. 4. In the Resource field, specify the resource to which this policy applies using the format: \\server[\share[\path]] for Windows resources and \\server[\path] for Unix resources. For detailed guidelines, see Defining file resources on page 373. 5. In the Action field, select one of the following options: CompressSelect this option to compress data from the specified resource. Do not compressSelect this option to disable compression for the specified resource. For a list of the types of data the IVE compresses, see Supported data types on page 840. 6. Click Add.

Defining a single sign-on autopolicy (Windows only)

Single sign-on (SSO) autopolicies configure the IVE to automatically submit credentials to a Windows share or directory so that the user does not have to reenter his credentials, as explained in Single sign-on on page 191. To create a Windows SSO autopolicy: 1. Create a Windows file resource profile, as explained in Defining resource profiles: File rewriting on page 371. 2. Click Show ALL autopolicy types. 3. Select the Autopolicy: Windows Server Single Sign-On checkbox. 4. In the Resource field, specify the resource to which this policy applies using the format: \\server[\share[\path]]. For detailed guidelines, see Defining file resources on page 373.

5. Select one of the following options: Use predefined credentialsSelect this option if you want to specify credentials to pass to the Windows share or directory. Then: i. In the Username field, enter variable (such as <USERNAME>) or a static username (such as administrator) to submit to the Windows share or directory. When entering a variable, you may also include a domain. For example, yourcompany.net\<USERNAME>. Enter an IVE variable (such as <PASSWORD>) in the Variable Password field or enter a static password in the Variable field. Note that the IVE masks the password you enter here with asterisks.

ii.

When entering static credentials, note that the IVE file browsing server maintains the connections open to a server share, however, so connecting to a different folder on the same share using a different account may not work reliably. If the specified credentials fail, the IVE may submit alternative credentials, as explained in Multiple sign-in credentials overview on page 193. Disable SSOSelect this option if you do not want the IVE to automatically submit credentials to the specified Windows share or directory. 6. Click Save Changes.

Defining a file bookmark

When you create a file resource profile, the IVE automatically creates a bookmark that links to the primary resource that you specified in the resource profile. The IVE enables you to modify this bookmark as well as create additional bookmarks within the same domain.
NOTE: When configuring bookmarks, note that:

You can only assign bookmarks to roles that you have already associated with the resource profilenot all of the roles defined on the IVE. To change the list of roles associated with the resource profile, use settings in its Roles tab. Bookmarks simply control which links the IVE displays to usersnot which resources the users can access. For instance, if you enable access to a Windows directory but do not create a bookmark to that directory, users can access the directory through Windows Explorer. You cannot create bookmarks that link to additional servers defined through file access control autopolicies. If you use a bookmark to reference a file shortcut, note that the IVE only displays bookmarks with shortcuts to files or folders on a network share such as \\server5\share\users\jdoe\file.txt. However, the IVE does not display bookmarks with shortcuts to local directories such as C:\users\jdoe\file.txt.

For more information about resource profile bookmarks, see Defining bookmarks on page 78. To configure file resource profile bookmarks: 1. If you want to create a resource profile bookmark through the standard resource profiles page: a. Navigate to the Users > Resource Profiles > Files > Select Resource Profile > Bookmarks page in the admin console.

b. Click the appropriate link in the Bookmark column if you want to modify an existing bookmark. Or, click New Bookmark to create an additional bookmark. Alternatively, if you want to create a resource profile bookmark through the user roles page: a. Navigate to the Users > User Roles > Select Role > Files > Windows Bookmarks|Unix Bookmarks page in the admin console.

b. Click New Bookmark. c. From the Type list, choose File Resource Profile. (The IVE does not display this option if have not already created a file resource profile.)

d. Select an existing resource profile. e. Click OK. (If you have not already associated the selected role with the resource profile, the IVE automatically makes the association for you. The IVE also enables any access control policies for the role that are required by the resource profile.) If this role is not already associated with the selected resource profile, the IVE displays an informational message. If you see this message, click Save Changes to add this role to the resource profiles list of roles and to update the profiles autopolicies as required. Then, repeat the previous steps to create the bookmark.

f.

NOTE: When you create a resource profile bookmark through the user roles page (instead of the standard resource profiles page), the IVE only associates the generated bookmark with the selected role. The IVE does not assign the bookmark to all of the roles associated with the selected resource profile.

2. Optionally change the name and description of the bookmark. (By default, the IVE populates names the bookmark using the resource profile name.)

For information about system variables and attributes that you can include in the bookmark, see Using system variables in realms, roles, and resource policies on page 869.
NOTE: Make sure to enter a unique server and path in this field. If you create two bookmarks that contain the same concatenated server and path string, the IVE deletes one of the bookmarks from the end-user view. You will still be able to see both bookmarks, however, in the administrator console.

4. In the Appearance section, choose one of the following options: Appear as bookmark on homepage and in file browsingSelect this option if you want the bookmark to appear both on a users welcome page and when browsing network files. Appear in file browsing onlySelect this option if you want the bookmark to appear only when users are browsing network files. 5.

Subset of selected rolesSelect this option to display the bookmark to a subset of the roles associated with the resource profile. Then select roles from the ALL Selected Roles list and click Add to move them to the Subset of selected roles list. 6. Click Save Changes.

Defining role settings: Windows resources

You can use two different methods to create Windows file bookmarks: Create bookmarks through existing resource profiles (recommended) When you select this method, the IVE automatically populates the bookmark with key parameters (such as the primary server and share) using settings from the resource profile. Additionally, while you are creating the associated resource profile, the IVE guides you through the process of creating any required policies to enable access to the bookmark. For configuration instructions, see Defining a file bookmark on page 376. Create standard bookmarksWhen you select this option, you must manually enter all bookmark parameters during configuration. Additionally, you must enable access to the file browsing at the role level and create resource policies that enable access to the servers defined in the bookmark. For configuration instructions, see Creating advanced bookmarks to Windows resources on page 379.

378

Defining role settings: Windows resources

Chapter 15: File rewriting

You can create Windows bookmarks that appear on the welcome page for users mapped to this role. You can insert the users IVE username in the URL path to provide quick access to the users network directories. When IVE users are browsing files on a Dfs server, the Dfs server uses the site configuration data stored in Active Directory to return Dfs referrals to the IVE in the right order. Referrals to closer servers are put higher in the list than referrals to servers that are farther away. Clients try referrals in the order in which they are received. If a request comes from a client which resides in a subnet which is not in this list, the server will not know where the client is coming from and will return the list of referrals to the customer in an arbitrary order. This could potentially cause the Dfs requests from the IVE (acting as the client in this case) to access a server much farther away. In turn, this could cause serious delays, especially if the IVE attempts to access a server which is unreachable from the subnet which the IVE resides in. If the IVE is installed on a subnet which is not in the Dfs server's list, the Dfs administrator may use the Active Directory Sites and Services tool on the domain controller to add the IVE's subnet to the appropriate site.

Defining resource policies: Windows file resources

When you enable the File access feature for a role, you need to create resource policies that specify which Windows and UNIX/NFS resources a user may access, as well as the encoding to use when communicating with Windows and NFS file shares. When a user makes a file request, the IVE evaluates the resource policies corresponding to the request, such as Windows access resource policies for a request to fetch an MS Word document (.doc file). After matching a users request to a resource listed in a relevant policy, the IVE performs the action specified for the resource. You can create resource policies through the standard interface (as described in this section) or through resource profiles (recommended method). When writing a File resource policy, you need to supply key information: ResourcesA resource policy must specify one or more resources to which the policy applies. When writing a File policy, you need to specify File servers or specific shares. RolesA resource policy must specify the roles to which it applies. When a user makes a request, the IVE determines what policies apply to the role and then evaluates those policies that correspond to the request.

ActionsEach type of resource policy performs a certain action, which is either to allow or deny a resource or to perform or not perform some function, such as allow a user to write to a directory. You can also write detailed rules that apply more conditions to a user request. See Writing a detailed rule on page 88. The IVE engine that evaluates resource policies requires that the resources listed in a policys Resources list follow a canonical format. This section contains the following information about writing UNIX/NFS file resource policies: Canonical format: Windows file resources on page 382 Writing a Windows access resource policy on page 383 Writing a Windows SSO resource policy on page 384 Writing a Windows compression resource policy on page 386 Defining general file writing options on page 387

NOTE: Information in this section is provided for backwards compatibility. We recommend that you configure compression through resource profiles instead, since they provide a simpler, more unified configuration method. For more information, see Defining a file compression autopolicy on page 374.

Compression policies specify which types of file data the IVE should compress when you enable GZIP compression through the Maintenance > System > Options page of the admin console. For more information, see Compression execution on page 839. The IVE comes pre-equipped with two file compression policies (*:*/*) which compress all applicable file data. You may enable these policies through the Resource Policies > Files > Compression pages of the admin console. To write a Windows file compression resource policy: 1. In the admin console, choose Resource Policies > Files > Compression. 2. Select the Windows tab. 3. Click New Policy. 4. On the New Policy page, enter: a. A name to label this policy.

Defining general file writing options

You can specify File resource options that apply to your File resource policies. When you enable a File resource policy option, the IVE compiles a list of host names specified in the Resources field of each File resource policy. The IVE then applies the enabled options to this comprehensive list of host names. To specify resource options for Windows file servers: 1. In the admin console, choose Users > Resource Policies > Files > Options. 2. Select: IP based matching for Hostname based policy resourcesThe IVE looks up the IP address corresponding to each host name specified in a File resource policy. When a user tries to access a server by specifying an IP address rather than the host name, the IVE compares the IP to its cached list of IP addresses to determine if a host name matches an IP. If there is a match, then the IVE accepts the match as a policy match and applies the action specified for the resource policy.

NOTE: This option does not apply to host names that include wildcards and parameters.

Defining role settings: UNIX/NFS file resources

You can use two different methods to create Unix file bookmarks: Create bookmarks through existing resource profiles (recommended) When you select this method, the IVE automatically populates the bookmark with key parameters (such as the server) using settings from the resource profile. Additionally, while you are creating the associated resource profile, the IVE guides you through the process of creating any required policies to enable access to the bookmark. For configuration instructions, see Defining a file bookmark on page 376. Create standard bookmarksWhen you select this option, you must manually enter all bookmark parameters during configuration. Additionally, you must enable access to the file browsing at the role level and create resource policies that enable access to the servers defined in the bookmark. For configuration instructions, see Creating advanced bookmarks to UNIX resources on page 388.

You can create UNIX/NFS bookmarks that appear on the IVE home page. You can insert the users IVE username in the URL path to provide quick access to the users network directories. To create a bookmark to a UNIX/NFS resource: 1. In the admin console, choose Users > User Roles > RoleName > Files > UNIX Bookmarks. 2. Click New Bookmark and then enter the server host name or IP address and the path to the share. If you want to insert the users username, enter <username> at the appropriate place in the path. If you specify a name and description for the bookmark, this information displays on the IVE home page instead of the server/path.
NOTE: Make sure to enter a unique server and path in this field. If you create two bookmarks that contain the same concatenated server and path string, the IVE deletes one of the bookmarks from the end-user view. You will still be able to see both bookmarks, however, in the administrator console.

3. For Appearance, choose either: Appear as bookmark on homepage and in file browsing if you want the bookmark to appear both on a users welcome page and when browsing network files. Appear in file browsing only if you want the bookmark to appear only when browsing network files.

Defining resource policies: UNIX/NFS file resources

When you enable the File access feature for a role, you need to create resource policies that specify which Windows and UNIX/NFS resources a user may access, as well as the encoding to use when communicating with Windows and NFS file shares. When a user makes a file request, the IVE evaluates the resource policies corresponding to the request, such as Windows access resource policies for a request to fetch an MS Word document (.doc file). After matching a users request to a resource listed in a relevant policy, the IVE performs the action specified for the resource. You can create resource policies through the standard interface (as described in this section) or through resource profiles (recommended method).

Defining resource policies: UNIX/NFS file resources

Juniper Networks Secure Access Administration Guide

When writing a File resource policy, you need to supply key information: ResourcesA resource policy must specify one or more resources to which the policy applies. When writing a File policy, you need to specify File servers or specific shares. RolesA resource policy must specify the roles to which it applies. When a user makes a request, the IVE determines what policies apply to the role and then evaluates those policies that correspond to the request. ActionsEach type of resource policy performs a certain action, which is either to allow or deny a resource or to perform or not perform some function, such as allow a user to write to a directory. You can also write detailed rules that apply more conditions to a user request. See Writing a detailed rule on page 88. The IVE engine that evaluates resource policies requires that the resources listed in a policys Resources list follow a canonical format. This section contains the following information about writing UNIX/NFS file resource policies: Canonical format: UNIX/NFS file resources on page 390 Writing UNIX/NFS resource policies on page 391 Writing a Unix/NFS compression resource policy on page 392 Defining general file writing options on page 393

Canonical format: UNIX/NFS file resources

When writing a resource policy for a UNIX/NFS file resource, you need to understand the following canonical format.

Canonical format:

Secure Application Manager

The Secure Application Manager option provides secure, application-level remote access to enterprise servers from client applications. You may deploy two versions of the Secure Application Manager: Windows version (W-SAM)The Windows version of the Secure Application Manager is a Windows-based solution that enables you to secure traffic to individual client/server applications and application servers. Java version (J-SAM)The Java version of the Secure Application Manager provides support for static TCP port client/server applications, including enhanced support for Microsoft MAPI, Lotus Notes, and Citrix NFuse. J-SAM also provides NetBIOS support, which enables users to map drives to specified protected resources. This section contains the following information about Secure Application Manager: Licensing: Secure Application Manager availability on page 396 Task Summary: Configuring WSAM on page 396 W-SAM overview on page 397 Defining resource profiles: WSAM on page 401 Defining role settings: WSAM on page 404 Defining resource policies: WSAM on page 410 Using the W-SAM launcher on page 413 Task Summary: Configuring JSAM on page 416 J-SAM overview on page 417 Defining resource profiles: JSAM on page 435 Defining role settings: JSAM on page 439 Defining resource policies: JSAM on page 443

Task Summary: Configuring WSAM

This section provides high-level WSAM configuration steps. These steps do not account for preliminary IVE configuration steps such as specifying the IVEs network identity or adding user IDs to the IVE. To configure WSAM: 1. Create resource profiles that enable access to client/server applications or destination networks, create supporting autopolicies as necessary, and assign the policies to user roles using settings in the Users > Resource Profiles> SAM pages of the admin console. For instructions, see Defining resource profiles: WSAM on page 401. We recommend that you use resource profiles to configure WSAM (as described above). However, if you do not want to use resource profiles, you can configure WSAM using role and resource policy settings in the following pages of the admin console instead: a. Enable access to WSAM at the role-level using settings in the Users > User Roles > Role > General > Overview page of the admin console. For instructions, see Configuring user roles on page 54.

b. Specify which client/server applications and servers WSAM should intermediate using settings in the Users > User Roles > SAM > Applications page of the admin console. For instructions, see Specifying applications and servers for WSAM to secure on page 405. c. Specify which application servers users can access through WSAM using settings in the Users > Resource Policies > SAM > Access page of the admin console. For instructions, see Specifying application servers that users can access on page 410.

2. After enabling access to client/server applications and/or destination networks using WSAM resource profiles or roles and resource policies, you can modify general role and resource options in the following pages of the admin console: a. (Optional) Configure role-level options such as whether the IVE should automatically launch and upgrade WSAM using settings in the Users > User Roles > SAM > Options page of the admin console. For instructions, see Specifying resource level WSAM options on page 412.

b. (Optional) Control IP based hostname matching at the resource level using settings in the Users > Resource Policies > SAM > Options page of the admin console. For instructions, see Specifying resource level WSAM options on page 412.

3. Ensure that an appropriate version of WSAM is available to remote clients using settings in the Maintenance > System > Installers page of the admin console. For instructions, see Downloading application installers on page 577. 4. If you want to enable or disable client-side logging for WSAM, configure the appropriate options through the System > Configuration > Security > Client-side Logs tab of the admin console. For instructions, see Enabling client-side logs on page 679.

W-SAM overview
WSAM is a Windows-based solution that enables you to secure traffic to individual client/server applications such as Lotus Notes, Microsoft Outlook, Citrix, and NetBIOS file browsing as well as application servers. You can download and launch WSAM using an ActiveX control hosted on the IVE, a Java delivery mechanism, or the W-SAM launcher pre-installed on the client. You can also enable WSAM on handheld/PDA devices. For specific information regarding configuration and support for PDAs, see Enabling WSAM on PDAs on page 851. This section contains the following information about WSAM: Securing client/server traffic using WSAM on page 397 Antivirus and VPN client application compatibility on page 400 Launching Network Connect during a WSAM session on page 401 Debugging WSAM issues on page 401

Securing client/server traffic using WSAM

The following diagram illustrates how WSAM secures client-server traffic. A description of each of the steps follows the diagram.

Figure 35: Windows Secure Application Manager

1. The user invokes WSAM through his IVE session. The user can invoke WSAM automatically or manually. If you configure WSAM to auto-launch, the user invokes WSAM simply by signing into the IVE. Or, if you or the user disables the auto-launch option, the user can manually invoke WSAM by clicking its link on the IVE home page. (If you enable auto-launch, users can override the setting through the Preferences > Applications page of the end-user console.) 2. If WSAM is not already installed on the users system, the IVE downloads it to the users machine. The delivery mechanism then installs the W-SAM software on the client machine. WSAM delivery mechanisms include: ActiveX controlThis primary software delivery mechanism controls all W-SAM installation functions. It downloads from the IVE when a user launches WSAM from the IVE home page. Java deliveryThe IVE appliance provides this secondary delivery mechanism if the IVE fails to download or upgrade the ActiveX control due to browser restrictions. As with the ActiveX control, the Java delivery mechanism controls all W-SAM installation functions.
NOTE: If Microsoft Vista is running on the users system, the user must click the setup link that appears during the installation process to continue installing the setup client and W-SAM. On all other Microsoft operating systems, the setup client and W-SAM install automatically.

For information on removing the Juniper ActiveX control, see Removing the Juniper ActiveX Control on page 265.

Chapter 16: Secure Application Manager

Scriptable W-SAM LauncherThis tool enables users to launch W-SAM manually from a command line or automatically from a batch file, an application that performs a shell call, or a Win32 service. To use this mechanism, you need to distribute the launcher to users, as described in Downloading application installers on page 577. Users can then invoke WSAM through a command prompt window using the command line arguments described in Using the W-SAM launcher on page 413. Or, an application or script may launch W-SAM by passing parameters to the launcher. (For example, a PC batch-file script can invoke the W-SAM launcher when the computer boots.)
NOTE: For information about the directories in which the WSAM delivery mechanisms run, files they install on the users computer, log file locations, the rights that users must have in order to run each of these delivery mechanisms, and browser settings users must enable, see the Client-side Changes Guide on the Juniper Networks Customer Support Center.

The IVE feeds role and client information defined on the server to the WSAM client machine during WSAM initialization. (If the filtering policies change, the client machine does not reflect those changes until the next sign-in session. Any changes to the IVE server access control rules take effect immediately.) 3. The WSAM client installs a Layered Service Provider (LSP) or Transport Driver Interface (TDI) driver on the client to secure application traffic. (If the traffic originates from a Windows 98 or Windows Millennium system, WSAM uses an LSP mechanism. If the traffic originates from a Windows 2000 or Windows XP system, WSAM uses a TDI mechanism.) The WSAM status window icon appears in the system tray. Users can double-click this icon to see the current session status and a list of applications and hosts specified for WSAM to intermediate. 4. The user launches an application or requests data from a server that you have configured through WSAM. When the client application or the process tries to connect to the resource, WSAM intercepts the request. WSAM intercepts TCP and UDP connection calls from applications and DNS queries for destination server host names. 5. WSAM forwards the host name of the client application or destination server to the IVE over SSL. 6. The IVE resolves the host name against the DNS server. 7. The IVE returns up to 8 resolved IP addresses of the target host to WSAM.

W-SAM overview

399

Juniper Networks Secure Access Administration Guide

8. WSAM automatically configures a port-forwarding channel using a preprovisioned localhost IP address.

NOTE:

If you enable the Persistent Session option on the Users > User Roles > Role > General > Session Options tab, the IVE caches the username and password in the persistent session cookie after the first successful authentication. This poses a potential security risk since the W-SAM launcher uses the information stored in the persistent session cookie for all subsequent sign-in attempts during the existing session even if you terminate the W-SAM connection. For more information about persistent sessions, see Specifying session options on page 57. Users may experience problems waiting for the Secure Application Manager to fully load if they enable pop-up blockers through their Web browsers. This problem occurs because a pop-up window alerting users to accept the Secure Application Manager plug-in may appear in the background (behind the Web browser window) where users cannot see it.

Launching Network Connect during a WSAM session

Users can launch Network Connect while signed in to the IVE via WSAM. If they do, however, the Network Connect installer automatically terminates the WSAM session prior to launching Network Connect. During the process, the IVE prompts users with a warning message informing them that they are about to terminate their WSAM session in favor of launching Network Connect. To deal with situation, we recommend that you give users as much access to network resources through Network Connect as through WSAM. If you do, when the users choose to launch Network Connect (simultaneously terminating WSAM), they will still be able to access the same network resources. For more information, refer to Launching Network Connect during a Windows Secure Application Manager session on page 529.

Debugging WSAM issues

You can use the Secure Application Manager dialog box on the an end-users system to view the WSAM status and a variety of details about the users session. For instance, the Secure Application Manager dialog box displays the applications and servers that WSAM is configured to secure, event logs and Winsock data for the users session, and various system diagnostics and performance data. This information can help you or a Juniper Networks Support representative debug any problems your users may encounter. To access the Secure Application Manager dialog box, users simply need to double-click the WSAM icon on their Windows task bars:

For more information about viewing information in the Secure Application Manager dialog box, see the end-user help system available from the Help link in the IVE end-user console.

Defining resource profiles: WSAM

You can create two types of WSAM resource profiles: WSAM application resource profilesThese resource profiles configure WSAM to secure traffic to a client/server application. When you create a WSAM application resource profile, the WSAM client intercepts requests from the specified client applications to servers in your internal network.

Defining resource profiles: WSAM

401

Juniper Networks Secure Access Administration Guide

WSAM destination network resource profilesThese resource profiles configure WSAM to secure traffic to a server. When you create a WSAM destination network resource profile, the WSAM client intercepts requests from processes running on the client that are connecting to the specified internal hosts. For more information about resource profiles, see Resource profiles on page 71. For more information about WSAM, see W-SAM overview on page 397.
NOTE:

When creating WSAM resource profiles, note that the resource profiles do not contain bookmarks. To access the applications and servers that WSAM intermediates, users must first launch WSAM and then launch the specified application or server using standard methods (such as the Windows Start menu or a desktop icon). For information about automatically launching WSAM when the user signs into the IVE, see Specifying role-level WSAM options on page 408. When you enable JSAM or WSAM through Web rewriting autopolicies in the Users > Resource Profiles > Web Applications/Pages page of the admin console, the IVE automatically creates JSAM or WSAM autopolicies for you. You can only view these SAM policies through the appropriate Web resource profilenot through the SAM resource profile pages of the admin console. For more information, see Defining a rewriting autopolicy on page 300. For tips on configuring PDA applications through WSAM, see Enabling WSAM on PDAs on page 851.

Creating WSAM client application resource profiles

When you create a WSAM application resource profile, the WSAM client intercepts requests from the specified client applications to servers in your internal network. To create a WSAM application resource profile: 1. Navigate to the Users > Resource Profiles > SAM > Client Applications page in the admin console. 2. Click New Profile. 3. From the Type list, choose WSAM. 4. From the Application list, select one of the following options: CustomWhen you select this option, you must manually enter your custom applications executable file name (such as telnet.exe). Additionally, you may specify this files path and MD5 hash of the executable file (although it is not required that you specify the exact path to the executable). If you enter an MD5 hash value, WSAM verifies that the checksum value of the executable matches this value. If the values do not match, WSAM notifies the user that the identity of the application could not be verified and does not forward connections from the application to the IVE.

Specifying applications and servers for WSAM to secure

NOTE: Information in this section is provided for backwards compatibility. We recommend that you secure traffic using WSAM resource profiles instead, since they provide a simpler, more unified configuration method. For more information, see Defining resource profiles: WSAM on page 401.

Use the Applications tab to specify applications and servers for which WSAM secures traffic. When WSAM downloads to a client PC, it contains the information you configure on the Applications tab for the role. After a user launches the Secure Application Manager, WSAM intercepts requests from client applications to servers in your internal network and requests from processes running on the client to internal hosts. You define these resources on the Applications tab by configuring two lists: WSAM supported applications listThis list contains applications for which you want WSAM to secure client/server traffic between the client and the IVE. WSAM allowed servers listThis list contains hosts for which you want WSAM to secure client/server traffic between the client and the IVE.

Specifying applications for WSAM to secure

To specify applications for which WSAM secures client/server traffic between the client and the IVE: 1. In the admin console, choose Users > User Roles > Select Role> SAM > Applications. 2. Click Add Application. 3. Enter the name of the application and, optionally, a description. This information displays in the Client Application Sessions section of the IVE enduser home page. 4. From the Type list, choose one of the following options: StandardIf you select this option, choose one the following applications from the Application Parameters section: CitrixWhen you select this option, WSAM intermediates traffic from Citrix applications. Lotus NotesWhen you select this option, WSAM intermediates traffic from the Lotus Notes fat client application. Microsoft Outlook/ExchangeWhen you select this option, WSAM intermediates traffic from the Microsoft Outlook application.

NetBIOS file browsingWhen you select this option, WSAM intercepts NetBIOS name lookups in the TDI drivers on port 137.
NOTE: Note that in order to access a share using WSAM with NetBIOS, you need to

explicitly specify the servers NetBIOS name (alphanumeric string up to 15 characters) in two places: on the Add Server page and in a SAM resource policy. (Wildcards are currently not supported.) Alternatively, you can enable the Autoallow application servers option on the SAM > Options tab, and then the IVE automatically creates a SAM resource policy that allows access to this server. CustomSelect this option to specify a custom client/server application. Then: i. ii. In the Filename field, specify the name of the files executable file. Optionally specify the files path and MD5 hash of the executable file. If you enter an MD5 hash value, WSAM verifies that the checksum value of the executable matches this value. If the values do not match, WSAM notifies the user that the identity of the application could not be verified and does not forward connections from the application to the IVE.

5. Click Save Changes or Save + New. 6. Configure a WSAM resource policy to specify to which enterprise resources (based on IP address/port combination) the IVE may send the application.

Specifying servers for WSAM to secure

To specify servers for which WSAM secures client/server traffic between the client and the IVE: 1. In the admin console, choose Users > User Roles > Select Role > SAM > Applications. 2. Click Add Server. 3. Enter the name of the server and, optionally, a description. 4. Specify the servers host name (the wild cards '*' or '?' are accepted) or an IP/netmask pair.

3. Under Secure Application Manager options, configure the following options: Auto-launch Secure Application ManagerIf you enable this option, the IVE automatically launches the Secure Application Manager when a user signs in. If you do not select this option, users must manually start the Secure Application Manager from the Client Applications Sessions section of the IVE end-user home page.
NOTE: Although you configure the Secure Application Manager to automatically launch when users sign into the IVE, users can override this setting through the Preferences > Applications page of the IVE end-user console. If you or the enduser disables WSAM from automatically launching, users need to manually start the Secure Application Manager by clicking its link on the IVE home page.

Auto-allow application serversIf you enable this option, the IVE automatically creates a SAM resource policy that allows access to the server specified in the WSAM application and server lists.
NOTE: You may not see the Auto-allow option if you are using a new installation or if an administrator hides the option. For more information on this option, see Setting system options on page 575.

4. Under Windows SAM Options, configure the following options: Auto-uninstall Secure Application ManagerIf you enable this option, the IVE automatically un-installs the Secure Application Manager after users sign off. Prompt for username and password for intranet sitesIf you enable this option, the IVE requires users to enter their sign-in credentials before connecting to sites on your internal network. This option changes Internet Explorers intranet zone setting so that Internet Explorer prompts the user for network sign-in credentials whenever the user wants to access an intranet site. Auto-upgrade Secure Application ManagerIf you enable this option, the IVE automatically downloads the Secure Application Manager to a client machine when the version of Secure Application Manager on the IVE is newer than the version installed on the client. If you select this option, note the following: The user must have Administrator privileges in order for the IVE to automatically install Secure Application Manager on the client. If a user un-installs Secure Application Manager and then signs in to an IVE for which the Auto-upgrade Secure Application Manager option is not enabled, the user no longer has access to Secure Application Manager.

This section contains the following instructions for configuring WSAM resource policies: Specifying application servers that users can access on page 410 Specifying resource level WSAM options on page 412

Specifying application servers that users can access

NOTE: Information in this section is provided for backwards compatibility. We recommend that you secure traffic using WSAM resource profiles instead, since they provide a simpler, more unified configuration method. For more information, see Defining resource policies: WSAM on page 410.

When you enable the Secure Application Manager access feature for a role, you need to create resource policies that specify which application servers a user may access. These policies apply to both the Java version and Windows version of the Secure Application Manager (J-SAM and W-SAM, respectively). When a user makes a request to an application server, the IVE evaluates the SAM resource policies. If the IVE matches a users request to a resource listed in a SAM policy, the IVE performs the action specified for the resource.

410

Defining resource policies: WSAM

Chapter 16: Secure Application Manager

When writing a SAM resource policy, you need to supply key information: ResourcesA resource policy must specify one or more resources to which the policy applies. When writing a SAM policy, you need to specify application servers to which a user may connect. RolesA resource policy must specify the roles to which it applies. When a user makes a request, the IVE determines what policies apply to the role and then evaluates those policies that correspond to the request. SAM resource policies apply to users requests made through either version, J-SAM or W-SAM. ActionsA Secure Application Manager resource policy either allows or denies access to an application server. You can create resource policies through the standard interface (as described in this section) or through resource profiles (recommended method). The IVE platforms engine that evaluates resource policies requires that the resources listed in a policys Resources list follow a canonical format, as explained in Specifying resources for a resource policy on page 83. To write a Secure Application Manager resource policy: 1. In the admin console, choose Users > Resource Policies > SAM > Access. 2. On the Secure Application Manager Policies page, click New Policy. 3. On the New Policy page, enter: a. A name to label this policy.

b. A description of the policy (optional). 4. In the Resources section, specify the application servers to which this policy applies. 5. In the Roles section, specify: Policy applies to ALL rolesChoose this option to apply this policy to all users. Policy applies to SELECTED rolesChoose this option to apply this policy only to users who are mapped to roles in the Selected roles list. Make sure to add roles to this list from the Available roles list. Policy applies to all roles OTHER THAN those selected belowChoose this option to apply this policy to all users except for those who map to the roles in the Selected roles list. Make sure to add roles to this list from the Available roles list. 6.

Deny socket accessChoose this option to deny access to the application servers specified in the Resources list. Use Detailed RulesChoose this option to specify one or more detailed rules for this policy. See Writing a detailed rule on page 88 for more information. 7. Click Save Changes. 8. On the Secure Application Manager Policies page, order the policies according to how you want the IVE to evaluate them. Keep in mind that once the IVE matches the resource requested by the user to a resource in a policys (or a detailed rules) Resource list, it performs the specified action and stops processing policies.

Specifying resource level WSAM options

Use the Options tab to specify the SAM resource option to match IP addresses to host names specified as resources in your SAM resource policies. When you enable this option, the IVE looks up IP addresses corresponding to each host name specified in a SAM resource policy. When a user tries to access a server by specifying an IP address rather than the host name, the IVE compares the IP to its cached list of IP addresses to determine if a host name matches an IP. If there is a match, then the IVE accepts the match as a policy match and applies the action specified for the resource policy. When you enable this option, the IVE compiles a list of host names specified in the Resources field of each SAM resource policy. The IVE then applies the option to this comprehensive list of host names.
NOTE: This option does not apply to host names that include wildcards and parameters.

To specify the SAM resource option: 1. In the admin console, choose Users > Resource Policies > SAM > Options. 2. Select IP based matching for Hostname based policy resources. When you select this option, the IVE looks up the IP address corresponding to each host name specified in a Secure Application Manager resource policy. When a user tries to access a server by specifying an IP address rather than the host name, the IVE compares the IP to its cached list of IP addresses to determine if a host name matches an IP. If there is a match, then the IVE accepts the match as a policy match and applies the action specified for the resource policy. 3. Click Save Changes.

Using the W-SAM launcher

The W-SAM launcher is a tool that signs a user into the IVE and then downloads and launches W-SAM. The launcher provides a command-line interface that a script or application can call. For example, you can write an application that calls the W-SAM executable when needed. To use the W-SAM launcher, you need to: 1. Write a script, batch file, service, or application that calls the W-SAM launcher using command line arguments. You need to distribute this file to each client PC that requires it. For more information, see Running scripts manually on page 414 and Running scripts automatically on page 415. 2. Download the W-SAM launcher from Maintenance > System > Installers page of the admin console and then distribute it to your users. Use the command-line arguments in Table 33 to invoke the W-SAM launcher.

Running scripts manually

Users may manually specify scripts to run when a W-SAM session begins or ends using the following command-line arguments.
NOTE: If you specify scripts to run through the Users > User Roles > Select Role > SAM > Options page of the admin console, the configured script does not run if a user manually invokes W-SAM using the launcher and specifies a different script.

To manually launch a script after a W-SAM session begins: At a command prompt, enter -loginscript file followed by a system variable or script file name and location. To manually launch a script after a W-SAM session ends: At a command prompt, enter -postscript file followed by a system variable and the script file name and location.

Task Summary: Configuring JSAM

This section provides high-level JSAM configuration steps. These steps do not account for preliminary IVE configuration steps such as specifying the IVEs network identity or adding user IDs to the IVE. To configure JSAM: 1. Create resource profiles that enable access to client/server applications, create supporting autopolicies as necessary, and assign the policies to user roles using settings in the Users > Resource Profiles> SAM pages of the admin console. For instructions, see Defining resource profiles: JSAM on page 435. We recommend that you use resource profiles to configure JSAM (as described above). However, if you do not want to use resource profiles, you can configure JSAM using role and resource policy settings in the following pages of the admin console instead: a. Enable access to JSAM at the role-level using settings in the Users > User Roles > Select Role > General > Overview page of the admin console. For instructions, see Configuring user roles on page 54.

b. Specify which client/server applications JSAM should intermediate using settings in the Users > User Roles > SAM > Applications page of the admin console. For instructions, see Specifying applications for JSAM to secure on page 439. c. Specify which application servers users can access through JSAM using settings in the Users > Resource Policies > SAM > Access page of the admin console. For instructions, see Specifying application servers that users can access on page 445.

2. After enabling access to client/server applications using JSAM resource profiles or roles and resource policies, you can modify general role and resource options in the following pages of the admin console: a. (Optional) Configure role-level options such as whether the IVE should automatically launch JSAM using settings in the Users > User Roles > SAM > Options page of the admin console. For instructions, see Specifying role level JSAM options on page 442.

b. (Optional) Control IP based hostname matching at the resource level using settings in the Users > Resource Policies > SAM > Access page of the admin console. For instructions, see Specifying application servers that users can access on page 445. 3. If you want to enable or disable client-side logging for JSAM, configure the appropriate options through the System > Configuration > Security > Client-side Logs tab of the admin console. For instructions, see Enabling client-side logs on page 679. 4. If you have multiple internal domains, such as company-a.com and companyb.com, add DNS domains to the IVE using settings in the System > Network > Overview page of the admin console so that names such as app1.companya.com and app2.company-b.com resolve correctly. 5. If a remote users PC is set up to use a Web proxy in Internet Explorer, configure the client machine to bypass the proxy server when the user launches applications that need to connect to the Secure Application Manager. For instructions, see Configuring a PC that connects to the IVE through a proxy Web server on page 420. 6. Enable JSAM to associate IP loopback addresses with application servers on specific ports either by enabling JSAM to edit the hosts file on your users systems (as explained in Resolving host names to localhost on page 424) or by creating an external DNS to route client application traffic to the J-SAM applet (as explained in Configuring external DNS servers and user machines on page 425).

J-SAM overview
The Java version of the Secure Application Manager provides support for static TCP port client/server applications, including enhanced support for Microsoft MAPI, Lotus Notes, and Citrix NFuse. J-SAM also provides NetBIOS support, which enables users to map drives to specified protected resources.
417

J-SAM overview

Juniper Networks Secure Access Administration Guide

J-SAM works well in many network configurations but does not support dynamic port TCP-based client/server applications, server-initiated connections, or UDP traffic. For information about the operating systems, Web browsers, and JVMs on which Juniper Networks supports JSAM, see the Supported Platforms Document on the Juniper Networks Customer Support Center. This section contains the following information about JSAM: Using JSAM for client/server communications on page 418 Linux and Macintosh support on page 426 Standard application support: MS Outlook on page 427 Standard application support: Lotus Notes on page 428 Standard application support: Citrix Web Interface for MetaFrame (NFuse Classic) on page 430 Custom application support: Citrix published applications configured from the native client on page 431 Custom application support: Citrix secure gateways on page 434

Using JSAM for client/server communications

J-SAM provides secure port forwarding by directing client application traffic to the J-SAM applet running on a client machine. To the client application running on the local machine, J-SAM appears as the application server. To the application server in your network, the IVE appears as the client application. The following diagram illustrates the interaction between a client application and its server via the IVE. (This figure assumes that the user specified a localhost IP address as the server in the client application.)

1. The user starts a client application listed in the Client Application Sessions section of the IVE end-user home page. 1 The application resolves the remote server to localhost. 2. The client application connects to J-SAM running on the user's machine and starts sending requests. 3. J-SAM encapsulates and forwards all client requests to the IVE over SSL. 4. The IVE un-encapsulates the client data and forwards it to the specified application server. 5. The application server responds with data to the IVE server. 6. The IVE encapsulates and forwards the response from the application server to J-SAM over SSL. 7. J-SAM un-encapsulates the application server data and forwards it to the client application.

For more information about how JSAM executes, see Assigning IP loopback addresses to servers on page 421.
NOTE:

If a remote users PC is set up to use a Web proxy in Internet Explorer, you must configure the client machine to bypass the proxy server when the user launches applications that need to connect to the Secure Application Manager. See Configuring a PC that connects to the IVE through a proxy Web server on page 420. J-SAM allocates 20-30 MB of RAM when running (the exact amount of memory depends on the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) used) and, if caching is enabled, may leave a .jar file on the client machine. For more information about files left by JSAM on client machines, see the Client-side Changes Guide on the Juniper Networks Customer Support Center. Users may experience problems waiting for the Secure Application Manager to fully load if they enable pop-up blockers through their Web browsers. This problem occurs because a pop-up window alerting users to accept the Secure Application Manager plug-in may appear in the background (behind the Web browser window) where users cannot see it. When launching applications through JSAM, Juniper Networks supports configuration of 1200 unique IP/port combinations on Windows and Mac and 800 unique IP/port combinations on Linux. Note that this limit is based on IP/port combinations, not applications (which may listen on more than one IP address and port). Juniper Networks determined these numbers by testing on Windows XP and Windows 2000 machines using default JRE memory settings.

Configuring a PC that connects to the IVE through a proxy Web server

If a remote users PC is set up to use a Web proxy in Internet Explorer, you must configure the client machine to bypass the proxy server and contact the Secure Application Manager instead. To configure a PC that connects to the IVE through a Web proxy in Internet Explorer: 1. From the Internet Explorer Tools menu, choose Internet Options. 2. On the Connections tab, click the LAN Settings button. 3. Under Proxy server, click the Advanced button. 4. Under Exceptions, enter the addresses for which you do not want to use a proxy server. Enter all addresses (host names and localhost) that the client application uses when connecting through the Secure Application Manager. For example: If your application server is app1.company.com, enter the following exceptions:
app1;app1.company.com;127.0.0.1

420

J-SAM overview

Chapter 16: Secure Application Manager

If your Exchange Server is exchange.company.com, enter the following exceptions:

exchange;exchange.company.com;127.0.0.1

Assigning IP loopback addresses to servers

For JSAM to function, it must listen on loopback addresses for client requests to network application servers. The IVE assigns these unique IP loopback address to each application server that you specify for a given port. For example, if you specify:
app1.mycompany.com, app2.mycompany.com. app3.mycompany.com,...

for a single port, the IVE assigns a unique IP loopback address to each application:
127.0.1.10, 127.0.1.11, 127.0.1.12,...

When the IVE installs J-SAM on a users machine, J-SAM listens on the loopback addresses (on the corresponding client port specified for the application server) for client requests to network application servers. You can configure the IVE to dynamically assign these loopback addresses, or you can configure static loopback addresses yourself through the admin console (as explained in Using static loopback addresses on page 422). You must enable these associations between IP loopback addresses and applications servers on a specific port in one of two ways: Allow the IVE to edit the hosts file on the client system with IP loopback assignments. The IVE makes a copy of the current hosts file and then creates a new hosts file with the IP loopback assignments. When the user ends the session, the IVE deletes the new hosts file and restores the original hosts file. If the client system shuts down unexpectedly, the hosts file still points the client to loopback addresses for outside connections. Settings in the hosts file are returned to their original state when the client system reboots. Users must have the proper privileges on their machines in order for the IVE to edit the hosts file. For more information, see Resolving host names to localhost on page 424. Create an external DNS to route client application traffic to the J-SAM applet. For more information, seeConfiguring external DNS servers and user machines on page 425.

Using an external DNS server with dynamic loopback addresses requires an administrator to update the DNS settings each time the J-SAM application configuration changes. On the other hand, configuring an external DNS server using static loopback addresses provides administrators with the highest degree of configuration control. For example, consider the following IP loopback assignments:
app1.mycompany.com - 127.0.1.10 app2.mycompany.com - 127.0.1.11 app3.mycompany.com - 127.0.1.12

If you configure an external DNS server using dynamic loopback address assignments and you delete the first application server, the address assignments change:
app2.mycompany.com - 127.0.1.10 app3.mycompany.com - 127.0.1.11

With static IP loopback addresses in an external DNS, deleting the first application server does not affect the IP loopback assignments for the remaining application servers:
app2.mycompany.com - 127.0.1.11 app3.mycompany.com - 127.0.1.12

You can assign static IP loopback addresses when creating a JSAM custom resource profile through the Users > Resource Profiles > SAM > Client Applications page of the admin console or when enabling JSAM applications through the Users > User Roles > Select Role > SAM > Applications page of the admin console. If you assign a static IP loopback address while creating a new application, the IVE checks the address for conflicts against other configured applications in the same role. If another application uses the same address, the IVE displays an error message prompting you to enter a different IP address.
NOTE: Static IP loopback addresses apply only to application servers configured by an administrator. The IVE assigns dynamic IP loopback addresses for user-defined application servers. If the administrator does not assign an IP loopback address to an application server, the IVE assigns a dynamic address.

Determining the IVE-assigned loopback address

Users cannot modify the corporate DNS server for applications they add for port forwarding. If you allow users to specify applications for J-SAM to proxy, users need to configure a client application to use the localhost address assigned by the IVE where they typically enter the server host name.

422

J-SAM overview

Chapter 16: Secure Application Manager

The Details pane of the J-SAM browser window displays the loopback IP address assigned by the IVE along with the port specified by the user. To determine what IP address the IVE assigns to an application specified through the Client Applications IVE page, a user must restart the Secure Application Manager after adding the application. The loopback address assigned to the application appears on the Details pane of the Secure Application Manager browser window, as shown in Figure 37.
Figure 37: Details pane of the Java Secure Application Manager (J-SAM)

In the client application, the user needs to enter the IVE-assigned loopback address as the application server. For example, if a user wants to access a telnet server behind your corporate firewall, the user needs to follow these steps: 1. In the Client Application Sessions section of the IVE end-user home page, click the Item Properties icon, then click Add Application 2. On the Add Application page, specify: The servers fully qualified domain name or IP address in the Remote Server field, such as terminalserver.juniper.com. The port on which J-SAM should listen for client traffic to the server in the Client Port field, such as 3389. The port on which the remote server should listen for traffic from the client application (J-SAM) in the Server Port field, such as 3389. 3. Click Add to save the information. 4. Close the Secure Application Manager browser window. 5. In the Client Application Sessions section of the IVE end-user home page, click Start to restart the Secure Application Manager. 6. In the Secure Application Manager browser window, click Details. 7. On the Details tab, look at which loopback address the IVE assigned to the remote server, such as 127.0.1.18.

J-SAM overview

423

Juniper Networks Secure Access Administration Guide

8. In the client application, such as Remote Desktop Connection, specify the loopback address in the configuration field for the server. This field appears in different places for different applications. Users may enter this information through a setup wizard or other configuration dialog. IP loopback address considerations when merging roles If you plan to merge two or more roles, you may encounter IP loopback address conflicts. Keep the following points in mind when merging roles: If two or more roles map to the same application and each mapping contains a different static IP loopback address, all of the static IP loopback addresses remain unchanged. If two or more roles map to the same application and only one role uses a static IP loopback address, J-SAM uses only the static IP loopback address and binds to only one statically defined socket on the client. If two or more roles map to the same application using dynamic IP loopback addresses, only one dynamic IP loopback address is used. The application listener binds to only one dynamically assigned socket on the client. If you use the same host name in multiple roles, either use the same static IP loopback address, or dynamic addresses for all the applications. If you use different host names associated with the same loopback address and port combination, JSAM cannot distinguish between the two different hosts at the back-end and, hence, cannot accurately direct IP traffic bound for those hosts.

Resolving host names to localhost

For JSAM to successfully intermediate traffic, a client application on the users machine needs to resolve the application server to the client localhost. This process enables J-SAM to capture and securely port forward the data intended for the application server via the IVE. J-SAM can perform automatic host-mapping, in which it edits the clients hosts file, to map application servers to localhost. (You can enable automatic host-mapping through the Users > User Roles > Select Role > SAM > Options page of the admin console.) In order for J-SAM to edit a users hosts file, the user must have the appropriate authority on the client machine: Windows users using the FAT file system may belong to any user group. For Exchange MAPI support, however, users must have at least Power User privileges on their machines. Windows users using the NTFS file system must have Administrator privileges on their machines. Linux (RedHat) users must launch the browser that will launch J-SAM as root. Macintosh users must supply the Administrator password when prompted by J-SAM.

424

J-SAM overview

Chapter 16: Secure Application Manager

If users do not have the appropriate privileges on their machines, J-SAM cannot automatically edit the hosts file, preventing host name resolution to localhost. Alternatives for users who do not have the appropriate privileges are: You configure your external DNS server to resolve application servers to localhost. If you configure your external DNS server to use a localhost address instead of the application server host name, remote users need to configure the order in which their machine searches DNS servers to start with the corporate DNS. For more information, see Configuring external DNS servers and user machines on page 425. You relax the permissions on the etc directory and the etc\hosts file to enable J-SAM to make the necessary modifications. Users configure a client application to use the localhost address assigned by the IVE where they typically specify the application server host name in the client application. See Determining the IVE-assigned loopback address on page 422 for more information.

Configuring external DNS servers and user machines

Client applications must resolve server host names to JSAM, which proxies data between a client and a server. On Windows PCs, server host names are stored in the hosts file. To intercept data using JSAM, the server names in the hosts file need to resolve to the local machine (localhost) so that the IVE can intermediate the traffic. The recommended process for mapping application servers to a users local PC is to enable the automatic host-mapping option, which enables the IVE to automatically modify the PC hosts file to point application servers to the localhost for secure port forwarding. For the IVE to perform automatic host-mapping, however, PC users must have the proper privileges on their machines (as explained in Resolving host names to localhost on page 424). If your PC users do not have these privileges, you must ensure that your internal application server names resolve externally to a PCs localhost by adding entries to your external Internet-facing DNS server such as:
127.0.0.1 app1.company-a.com 127.0.0.1 app2.company-b.com 127.0.0.1 exchange1.company-a.com 127.0.0.1 exchange1.company-b.com

If the client application uses an unqualified name for the application server, users need to specify DNS suffixes so that the PC can attach the suffix and contact your external DNS server for name resolution. For example, an MS Outlook client typically has an unqualified name for an MS Exchange server. In order for the qualified name to resolve to 127.0.0.1, users need to specify the appropriate DNS suffixes on their PCs. Adding domain names does not affect other operations on the PC, including use of the client application from within the enterprise. To configure a user PC with DNS suffixes (Windows 2000): 1. From the Windows Start menu, choose Settings > Network and Dial-up Connections > Local Area Connection and then choose Properties.

2. Select Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) and then click Properties. 3. Click Advanced and then click the DNS tab. 4. Click Append these DNS suffixes and then click Add. 5. Add your enterprises internal domains as additional DNS suffixes. For information about configuring your external DNS server using static loopback addresses, see Using static loopback addresses on page 422.

Linux and Macintosh support

Linux users do not have access to ports below 1024 unless they are signed into their machines as root. Macintosh users do not have access to ports below 1024 unless they supply the Administrator password when prompted by J-SAM. To support applications that run on privileged ports (ports below 1024), such as a telnet application: Users may launch the browser that will launch J-SAM as root. You or the user may specify a client port number equal to or greater than port 1024 when enabling client applications. For example, if you specify 2041 for the client port and 23 for the server port for a telnet application, the command to run the application is:
telnet loopbackIP 2041

where loopbackIP is the loopback IP address assigned to the application server by the IVE. J-SAM listens on port 2041 for traffic from the telnet application and forwards it to the IVE. The IVE then forwards the traffic to port 23 on the destination server. For information about determining the IVE-assigned loopback address, see Determining the IVE-assigned loopback address on page 422.
NOTE: Due to the design of the Sun JVM code, Macintosh users cannot relaunch JSAM within the same Safari user session. In order to re-launch JSAM, the user must exit Safari and then launch JSAM again.

Standard application support: MS Outlook

Remote users can use the Microsoft Outlook client on their PCs to access email, their calendars, and other Outlook features through the IVE. Versions of MS Outlook currently supported are MS Outlook 2000 and MS Outlook 2002. This ability does not require changes to the Outlook client and does not require a network layer connection, such as VPN.
NOTE: Refer to the Supported Platforms Document on the Juniper Networks Customer Support Center for details on operating system support and dependencies. See the Client-side Changes Guide for details about registry changes made by JSAM.

Also, note that the IVE does not support Outlook through SVW, since Outlook applications require HKLM registry key changes. For more information, see Enabling the Secure Virtual Workspace on page 244. In order for this feature to work for remote users, the network settings of the user's PC must resolve the name of the Exchange Servers embedded in the Outlook client to the local PC (127.0.0.1, the default localhost IP address). We recommend that you configure the IVE to automatically resolve Exchange server host names to the localhost by temporarily updating the hosts file on a client computer through the automatic host-mapping option.

Client/server communication using J-SAM

The following diagram describes the interactions between the Outlook client and an Exchange Server via the IVE. This figure assumes that the IVE is configured to perform automatic host-mapping.
Figure 38: Java Secure Application Manager and Enhanced MS Exchange Support

Figure 38 shows the IVE configured to use automatic host-mapping for the MS Outlook client. 1. The user starts the MS Outlook client. Outlook tries to contact the Exchange Server exchange1.yourcompany.com. The IVE resolves the Exchange Server host name to 127.0.0.1 (localhost) through temporary changes to the hosts file.

2. Outlook connects to the Secure Application Manager running on the user's PC and then starts sending requests for email. 3. The Secure Application Manager encapsulates and forwards all the requests from the Outlook client to the IVE over SSL. 4. IVE un-encapsulates the client data and looks in the MAPI request to find the target Exchange Server. The request is then forwarded to the target server. 5. Each request in the MAPI protocol encodes the target server for the request. When MAPI requests arrive from the Secure Application Manager, the IVE server looks in each of them and dispatches them to the appropriate target server. This process works transparently even if there are multiple Exchange Servers. 6. The Exchange Server responds to the IVE with email data. 7. The IVE encapsulates and forwards the response from the Exchange Server to the Secure Application Manager over SSL. 8. The Secure Application Manager un-encapsulates the information sent from the IVE and forwards the normal MAPI response from the Exchange Server to the Outlook client.

Standard application support: Lotus Notes

Remote users can use the Lotus Notes client on their PCs to access email, their calendars, and other features through the IVE. This ability does not require a network layer connection, such as a VPN.
NOTE: See the Supported Platforms Document on the Juniper Networks Customer Support Center for details on operating system support and dependencies.

Client/server communication using J-SAM

In order for this feature to work for remote users, they need to configure the Lotus Notes client to use localhost as their location setting (that is, their Home Location, Remote Location, or Travel Location setting). The Secure Application Manager then picks up connections requested by the Lotus Notes client. The following diagram describes the interactions between the Lotus Notes client and a Lotus Notes Server via the IVE.

428

Chapter 16: Secure Application Manager

Figure 39: Java Secure Application Manager and Enhanced Lotus Notes Support

Figure 39 shows the Lotus Notes client location value to be configured to the localhost. 1. The user starts the Lotus Notes client with the location setting. The client uses the HTTP Tunnel proxy setting for its location setting. Note that you must set the HTTP Tunnel proxy setting to use localhost (or 127.0.0.1) as the proxy address and 1352 as the proxy port. 2. The Lotus Notes client connects to the Secure Application Manager and starts sending requests for email. 3. The Secure Application Manager encapsulates and forwards requests from the Lotus Notes client to IVE over SSL. 4. The IVE un-encapsulates the client data and looks in the Lotus Notes request to find the target Lotus Notes Server. The request is then forwarded to the target server. Each request in the Lotus Notes protocol encodes the target server for the request. When Lotus Notes requests arrive from the application proxy, the IVE server obtains the target server information from the requests and dispatches the requests to the appropriate target server. Thus, this feature works transparently even if there are multiple Lotus Notes Servers accessed by a single user. Note that you must create JSAM ACLs on the IVE that enable access to these target servers. 5. The Lotus Notes Server responds with email data to the IVE. 6. The IVE encapsulates and forwards the response from the Lotus Notes Server to the Secure Application Manager over SSL. 7. The Secure Application Manager un-encapsulates the information sent from the IVE and forwards the normal response from the Lotus Notes Server to the Lotus Notes client.

Configuring the Lotus Notes client

Before a remote user can connect from Lotus Notes to a Lotus Notes Server through the IVE, the user must edit the Lotus Notes client to set a Location document Proxy field to the PCs localhost port. The Location document edited should be the one used for remote access, such as the Remote Location or Travel Location setting. Setting the Proxy field to the PCs localhost port enables the IVE to connect to multiple Lotus Notes Servers, including those set up as pass-through servers. You should use the following configuration in these cases: JSAM is configured to use Lotus Notes as a standard application. The Lotus Notes client can connect to multiple Lotus Notes servers.

To configure a Lotus Notes client for use with the IVE: 1. From the Lotus Notes client, choose File > Mobile > Locations. 2. Select the Location used for remote access and then click Edit Location. 3. In the Basics tab, click the Proxy icon. 4. In the Proxy Server Configuration box, enter the following in the HTTP Tunnel field: 127.0.0.1:1352 5. Click OK.

Standard application support: Citrix Web Interface for MetaFrame (NFuse Classic)
Remote users can use the Citrix Web Interface for MetaFrame server to access a variety of applications via the IVE. This process does not require any alterations to the user permissions on the client.

430

J-SAM overview

Chapter 16: Secure Application Manager

After a user browses to a Citrix Web Interface for MetaFrame server and selects an application, the server sends an ICA file to the client. When the IVE rewrites the ICA file, it replaces host names and IP addresses with pre-provisioned loopback IP addresses. The ICA client then sends application requests to one of the loopback IP addresses. The Secure Application Manager encapsulates the data and sends it to the IVE. The IVE un-encapsulates the data and sends it to the appropriate MetaFrame server using port 1494 or 2598 (depending on the client).
NOTE:

JSAM does not automatically launch when Embedded Applications are set to Auto in the Citrix Web Interface for MetaFrame console. In these cases, we recommend that you configure JSAM to automatically launch after the user signs into the IVE. Otherwise, end-users must manually launch JSAM before using Citrix Web Interface for MetaFrame. If a user attempts to use the server discovery feature and then attempts to use application discovery, the application discovery process fails. To resolve this particular situation, shut down and restart Citrix Program neighborhood. The IVE serves as an alternative to deploying the Citrix Secure Gateway (CSG). To use the applet-mode of the Java client, make sure to enable Java applet support on the Users > User Roles > Select Role > Web > Options page of the admin console. If you set the Network Protocol setting in the Citrix Program Neighborhood client to TCP/IP, the IVE does not support the application through JSAM since the TCP/IP setting produces UDP traffic.

Custom application support: Citrix published applications configured from the native client
When enabling Citrix published applications on the Citrix native client through the IVE, you must complete the steps outlined in the following sections. 1.

NOTE:

These instructions assume that you are not using the Citrix Web Interface for Citrix Presentation Server (formerly known as Nfuse server). For information about presentation servers, see Standard application support: Citrix Web Interface for MetaFrame (NFuse Classic) on page 430. These instructions do not cover how to configure the standard Citrix application option. (For standard Citrix application instructions, use settings in the Users > Resource Profiles > Web > Web Applications/Pages page of the admin console.) You can enable both the standard Citrix application and the custom Citrix applicationthese settings do not impact each other.

Specifying custom applications on JSAM to port forward

When configuring JSAM to work with published applications, you must open 2 portsports 80 and 1494. Each opened port creates a connection through JSAM to the Citrix Metaframe server. To specify published applications for JSAM to port forward: 1. Add a custom application through JSAM using the instructions in Defining resource profiles: JSAM on page 435. When adding the custom application, keep the following settings in mind: Server nameFor published applications, you must enter the Metaframe servers fully qualified DNS name, not its IP address. Server portFor published applications, enter 80 and 1494. (Create one entry for port 80 and another for port 1494.) If you have multiple Metaframe servers, you must configure all of them on the same ports. Client portFor published applications, enter 80 and 1494. (Create one entry for port 80 and another for port 1494.) 2. If you have multiple internal domains, such as company-a.com and companyb.com, add DNS domains to the IVE using settings in the System > Network > Overview page of the admin console so that names such as app1.companya.com and app2.company-b.com resolve correctly. 3. If a remote users PC is set up to use a Web proxy in Internet Explorer, configure the client machine to bypass the proxy server when the user launches applications that need to connect to the Secure Application Manager. For instructions, see Configuring a PC that connects to the IVE through a proxy Web server on page 420. 4. Enable JSAM to associate IP loopback addresses with application servers on specific ports either by enabling JSAM to edit the hosts file on your users systems (as explained in Resolving host names to localhost on page 424) or by creating an external DNS to route client application traffic to the J-SAM applet (as explained in Configuring external DNS servers and user machines on page 425).

Defining resource profiles: JSAM

JSAM resource profiles configure JSAM to secure traffic to a client/server application. When you create a JSAM application resource profile, the JSAM client tunnels network traffic generated by the specified client applications to servers in your internal network. For more information about resource profiles, see Resource profiles on page 71. For more information about JSAM, see J-SAM overview on page 417.
NOTE: When creating JSAM resource profiles, note that the resource profiles do not contain bookmarks. Therefore, end-users will not see a link for the configured application in the end-user interface. To access the applications and servers that JSAM intermediates, users must first launch JSAM and then launch the specified application using standard methods (such as the Windows Start menu or a desktop icon). For information about automatically launching JSAM when the user signs into the IVE, see Specifying role level JSAM options on page 442.

Also note that when you enable JSAM or WSAM through rewriting autopolicies for Web resource profiles, the IVE automatically creates JSAM or WSAM autopolicies for you. You can only view these SAM policies through the appropriate Web resource profilenot through the SAM resource profile pages of the admin console. For more information, see Defining a rewriting autopolicy on page 300. To create a JSAM application resource profile: 1. Navigate to the Users > Resource Profiles > SAM > Client Applications page in the admin console. 2. Click New Profile. 3. From the Type list, choose JSAM.

4. From the Application list, select one of the following options. CustomSelect this option to intermediate traffic to a custom application. Then: i. In the Server name field, enter the name or IP address of the remote server. If you are using automatic host mapping, enter the server as it is known to the application. If you enter an IP address, note that endusers must connect to JSAM using that IP address in order to connect to the specified server. For information about system variables and attributes you can use in this field, see Using system variables in realms, roles, and resource policies on page 869. In the Server Port field, enter the port on which the remote server listens for client connections. For example, to forward Telnet traffic from a remote machine, specify port 23 for both the client port (on which JSAM listens) and the server port (on which the Telnet server listens).

ii.

NOTE: To disable the registry change made by JSAM and restore the original copy of the etc/hosts file, users must uninstall the JSAM client using settings in the Preferences > Applications page of the end-user console. To re-enable the change, they need to reboot.

iii. In the Client Loopback IP field, provide a static loopback address. If you do not provide a static IP loopback address, the IVE assigns an IP loopback address dynamically. For more information about static loopback addresses, see Assigning IP loopback addresses to servers on page 421.
NOTE:

When configuring an external DNS, do not use IP loopback addresses in the 127.0.2.x range because the IVE reserves IP loopback addresses in that range for use with Citrix NFuse. If you want to modify a static loopback address for a JSAM application server configured on multiple ports, you must delete all applications referring to this application server and re-enter these applications with the new static loopback address. iv. In the Client Port field, enter the port on which JSAM should listen for client application connections. Typically, the local port value is the same value as the server port; the local port value usually only differs for Linux or Macintosh non-root users who want to add applications for port forwarding that use ports under 1024.

Defining resource profiles: JSAM

Chapter 16: Secure Application Manager

You may configure more than one application on a single port, such as app1.mycompany.com, app2.mycompany.com, app3.mycompany.com. Either you assign a static loopback address or the IVE assigns a dynamic loopback address (127.0.1.10, 127.0.1.11, 127.0.1.12) to each application. JSAM then listens on these multiple loopback addresses on the specified port. For example, when there is traffic on 127.0.1.12 on the specified port, the IVE forwards the traffic to the app3.mycompany.com destination host. v. Click Add.

vi. Select the Allow JSAM to dynamically select an available port if the specified client port is in use checkbox if JSAM is listening for multiple hosts on the same port and you want JSAM to select an available port when the client port you specify is taken. The client application must allow you to specify the port number for the connection in order to use this option. vii. Select the Create an access control policy allowing SAM access to these servers checkbox to enable access to the list of servers specified in the Server column (enabled by default). Lotus NotesSelect this option to intermediate traffic from the Lotus Notes fat client application, as explained in Standard application support: Lotus Notes on page 428. Then, in the Autopolicy: SAM Access Control section, create a policy that allows or denies users access to the Lotus Notes server: i. ii. If it is not already enabled, select the Autopolicy: SAM Access Control checkbox. In the Resource field, specify the application server to which this policy applies. You can specify the server as a fully-qualified host name or an IP/netmask pair. For example, if the fully-qualified hostname is notes1.yourcompany.com, add notes1.yourcompany.com and notes1 to the Resource field.

iii. From the Action list, select Allow to enable access to the specified server or Deny to block access to the specified server. iv. Click Add.
NOTE:

If you select the Lotus Notes option, or you configure the Lotus Notes client to connect to multiple Lotus Notes servers, you should configure the Lotus Notes client appropriately to work with the IVE.

You must enter the full name of the servers in this field since the IVE creates direct one-to-one mappings between the servers you enter here and IP addresses in the etc/hosts file. For more information about registry changes made by JSAM, see the Client-side Changes Guide on the Juniper Networks Customer Support Center. If you want to enable drive mapping on a Windows client machine, use the standard NetBIOS file browsing option. When you do, JSAM automatically modifies the registry to disable port 445 on Windows XP machines, which forces Windows XP to use port 137, 138, or 139 for drive-mapping. Windows XP users need to reboot one time to enable the registry change to take effect.

To specify applications for JSAM to secure: 1. In the admin console, choose Users > User Roles > Select Role > SAM > Applications. 2. Select Add Application. 3. Enter the name of the application and, optionally, a description. This information displays in the Client Application Sessions section of the IVE enduser home page. 4. Choose either: Standard applicationSelect Citrix NFuse, Lotus Notes, or Microsoft Outlook/Exchange.
NOTE:

The IVE does not support the standard JSAM applications Outlook and Netbios file browsing through SVW, since these applications require registry key changes. However, the IVE does support the Citrix and Lotus Notes JSAM standard applications through SVW. For more information, see Enabling the Secure Virtual Workspace on page 244. If you select the Lotus Notes option, or you configure the Lotus Notes client to connect to multiple Lotus Notes servers, you should configure the Lotus Notes client appropriately to work with the IVE. For instructions, see Configuring the Lotus Notes client on page 430. Custom application i. In the Server name field, enter the DNS name of the server or the server IP address. If entering the DNS name, enter name of the remote server as it is known to the application if you are using automatic host mapping. For information about system variables and attributes you can use in this field, see Using system variables in realms, roles, and resource policies on page 869. In the Server Name field, enter . In the Server Port field, enter the port on which the remote server listens for client connections. For example, to forward Telnet traffic from a remote machine, specify port 23 for both the client port (on which JSAM listens) and the server port (on which the Telnet server listens).
NOTE: To disable the registry change made by JSAM and restore the original copy of the etc/hosts file, users must uninstall the JSAM client using settings in the Preferences > Applications page of the end-user console. To re-enable the change, they need to reboot.

iii. In the Client Loopback IP field, provide a static loopback address. If you do not provide a static IP loopback address, the IVE assigns an IP loopback address dynamically. For more information about static loopback addresses, see Assigning IP loopback addresses to servers on page 421.
NOTE:

When configuring an external DNS, do not use IP loopback addresses in the 127.0.2.x range because the IVE reserves IP loopback addresses in that range for use with Citrix NFuse. If you want to modify a static loopback address for a JSAM application server configured on multiple ports, you must delete all applications referring to this application server and re-enter these applications with the new static loopback address. iv. In the Client Port field, enter the port on which JSAM should listen for client application connections. Typically, the local port value is the same value as the server port; the local port value usually only differs for Linux or Macintosh non-root users who want to add applications for port forwarding that use ports under 1024. You may configure more than one application on a single port, such as
app1.mycompany.com, app2.mycompany.com, app3.mycompany.com.

Either you assign a static loopback address or the IVE assigns a dynamic loopback address (127.0.1.10, 127.0.1.11, 127.0.1.12) to each application. JSAM then listens on these multiple loopback addresses on the specified port. For example, when there is traffic on 127.0.1.12 on the specified port, the IVE forwards the traffic to the app3.mycompany.com destination host. v. Select the Allow Secure Application Manager to dynamically select an available port ... checkbox if JSAM is listening for multiple hosts on the same port and you want JSAM to select an available port when the client port you specify is taken. The client application must allow you to specify the port number for the connection in order to use this option.

vi. Click Add. 5. If a remote users PC is set up to use a Web proxy in Internet Explorer, configure the client machine to bypass the proxy server when the user launches applications that need to connect to the Secure Application Manager.

b. Under DNS Name Resolution, add a comma-separated list of domains in the to DNS Domains field. c. Click Save Changes.

Specifying role level JSAM options

To specify JSAM options at the role level: 1. In the admin console, choose Users > User Roles > Select Role > SAM > Options. 2. Under Secure Application Manager options, select the options to enable for users: Auto-launch Secure Application ManagerIf enabled, the IVE automatically launches the Secure Application Manager when a user signs in. If you do not select this option, users must manually start the Secure Application Manager from the Client Applications Sessions section of the IVE end-user home page.
NOTE: Although you configure the Secure Application Manager to automatically launch when users sign into the IVE, users can override this setting through the Preferences > Applications page of the IVE end-user console. If disabled from automatically launching, users need to manually start the Secure Application Manager by clicking its link on the IVE home page.

Auto-uninstall Secure Application ManagerIf enabled, the IVE automatically un-installs the Secure Application Manager after users sign off. Auto-allow application serversIf enabled, the IVE automatically creates a SAM resource policy that allows access to the server specified in the WSAM application and server lists and the JSAM application list.
NOTE: You may not see the Auto-allow option if you are using a new installation or if an administrator hides the option. For more information on this option, see Setting system options on page 575.

3. Under Java SAM Options, select the options to enable for users: User can add applicationsIf enabled, users can add applications. For users to add applications, they need to know the application server DNS name and client/server ports.

When you enable this option, users can set up port forwarding to any host or port in your enterprise. Before providing users with the ability to add applications, please verify that this feature is consistent with your security practices. If a user adds an application, the application remains available to the user even if you later change disable the feature. Automatic host-mappingIf enabled, the Secure Application Manager edits the Windows PC hosts file and replaces entries of Windows application servers with localhost. These entries are changed back to the original data when a user closes the Secure Application Manager. For the Java version of the Secure Application Manager to work, the client application needs to connect to the local PC on which the Secure Application Manager is running as the application server. The recommended process for mapping application servers to a users local PC is to enable automatic host-mapping, which enables the IVE to automatically modify the PCs hosts file to point application servers to the PCs localhost for secure port forwarding. Alternatively, you can configure your external DNS server, as explained in Configure your external DNS server and user machines (if needed) on page 96. Skip web-proxy registry checkIf enabled, JSAM does not check a user's registry for a Web proxy. Some users do not have permissions to look at their registries, so if JSAM tries to look at their registries, then users see an error that they do not have permission. This option ensures that users do not see this message. Auto-close JSAM window on sign-outIf enabled, JS-AM automatically closes when a user signs out of the IVE by clicking Sign Out in the IVE browser window. JSAM continues to run if the user simply closes the browser window. 4. Click Save Changes.

Defining resource policies: JSAM

This section contains the following instructions for configuring JSAM resource policies: Automatically launching JSAM on page 443 Specifying application servers that users can access on page 445 Specifying resource level JSAM options on page 447

Automatically launching JSAM

Use the Launch JSAM tab to write a Web resource policy that specifies a URL for which the IVE automatically launches J-SAM on the client. The IVE launches J-SAM in two scenarios: When a user enters the URL in the Address field of the IVE home page.

Defining resource policies: JSAM

443

Juniper Networks Secure Access Administration Guide

When a user clicks a Web bookmark (configured by an administrator) on the IVE home page to the URL. This feature is useful if you enable applications that require J-SAM but dont want to require users to run J-SAM unnecessarily. This feature requires, however, that users access the URL through the IVE home page. If users enter the URL in a browser Address field, the IVE does not serve the request.
NOTE: The IVE provides tight integration with Citrix. If you specify Citrix as a standard J-SAM application, the IVE automatically launches J-SAM when a user selects an ICA file even if the URL is not configured as a resource policy.

To write a Launch J-SAM resource policy: 1. In the admin console, choose Users > Resource Policies > Web. 2. If your administrator view is not already configured to show Launch JSAM policies, make the following modifications: a. Click the Customize button in the upper right corner of the page.

b. Select the Launch JSAM checkbox. c. Click OK.

3. Select the Launch JSAM tab. 4. On the JSAM Autolaunch Policies page, click New Policy. 5. On the New Policy page, enter: a. A name to label this policy.

b. A description of the policy (optional). 6. In the Resources section, specify the URLs to which this policy applies. See Specifying resources for a resource policy on page 83 for more information. To enable IP-based or case sensitivity matching for these resources, see Defining resource policies: General options on page 355. 7. In the Roles section, specify: Policy applies to ALL rolesChoose this option to apply this policy to all users.

8. In the Action section, specify: Launch JSAM for this URLThe IVE downloads the Java Secure Application Manager to the client and then serves the requested URL.
NOTE: J-SAM launches automatically for the specified URL only if a user enters the URL or selects a bookmark to the URL on the IVE home page (Browsing > Bookmarks). The bookmark does not launch the application that is configured through JSAM, but launches JSAM itself.

Don't Launch JSAM for this URLThe IVE does not download the Java Secure Application Manager to the client for the requested URL. This option is useful if you want to temporarily disable J-SAM auto-launching for the specified URLs. Use Detailed RulesTo specify one or more detailed rules for this policy. See Writing a detailed rule on page 88 for more information. 9. Click Save Changes.

Specifying application servers that users can access

NOTE: Information in this section is provided for backwards compatibility. We recommend that you secure traffic using JSAM resource profiles instead, since they provide a simpler, more unified configuration method. For more information, see Defining resource profiles: JSAM on page 435.

When you enable the Secure Application Manager access feature for a role, you need to create resource policies that specify which application servers a user may access. These policies apply to both the Java version and Windows version of the Secure Application Manager (J-SAM and W-SAM, respectively). When a user makes a request to an application server, the IVE evaluates the SAM resource policies. If the IVE matches a users request to a resource listed in a SAM policy, the IVE performs the action specified for the resource. When writing a SAM resource policy, you need to supply key information: ResourcesA resource policy must specify one or more resources to which the policy applies. When writing a SAM policy, you need to specify application servers to which a user may connect. RolesA resource policy must specify the roles to which it applies. When a user makes a request, the IVE determines what policies apply to the role and then evaluates those policies that correspond to the request. SAM resource policies apply to users requests made through either version, J-SAM or W-SAM. ActionsA Secure Application Manager resource policy either allows or denies access to an application server. You can create resource policies through the standard interface (as described in this section) or through resource profiles (recommended method).

Specifying resource level JSAM options

Use the Options tab to specify the SAM resource option to match IP addresses to host names specified as resources in your SAM resource policies. When you enable this option, the IVE looks up IP addresses corresponding to each host name specified in a SAM resource policy. When a user tries to access a server by specifying an IP address rather than the host name, the IVE compares the IP to its cached list of IP addresses to determine if a host name matches an IP. If there is a match, then the IVE accepts the match as a policy match and applies the action specified for the resource policy. When you enable this option, the IVE compiles a list of host names specified in the Resources field of each SAM resource policy. The IVE then applies the option to this comprehensive list of host names.
NOTE: This option does not apply to host names that include wildcards and parameters.

To specify the SAM resource option: 1. In the admin console, choose Users > Resource Policies > SAM > Options. 2. Select IP based matching for Hostname based policy resources. When you select this option, the IVE looks up the IP address corresponding to each host name specified in a Secure Application Manager resource policy. When a user tries to access a server by specifying an IP address rather than the host name, the IVE compares the IP to its cached list of IP addresses to determine if a host name matches an IP.

Telnet/SSH
The Telnet/SSH option enables users to connect to internal server hosts in the clear using Telnet protocols or to communicate over an encrypted Secure Shell (SSH) session through a Web-based terminal session emulation. This feature supports the following applications and protocols: Network ProtocolsSupported network protocols include Telnet and SSH. Terminal SettingsSupported terminal settings include VT100, VT320, and derivatives and screen buffers. SecuritySupported security mechanisms include Web/client security using SSL and host security (such as SSH if desired). You can create secure terminal session bookmarks that appear on the welcome page for users mapped to a specific role. A terminal session bookmark defines Terminal Session information for Telnet or SSH sessions that users may launch. These sessions give users access to a variety of networked devices, including UNIX servers, networking devices, and other legacy applications, that utilize terminal sessions. The IVE supports SSH versions V1 and V2 and uses the following SSH versions: OpenSSH_2.9.9p1, SSH protocols 1.5/2.0, and OpenSSL 0x0090607f.
NOTE: When communicating over an encrypted Secure Shell (SSH) session, note that the Telnet/SSH feature does not support using the ^J character combination. (Some applications use this character combination to justify text). If you want to use this character combination, we recommend that you find a java applet that supports it and upload that applet through the IVE using the hosted Java applets feature.

If you are using an SA-700 appliance, you must install a Core Clientless Access upgrade license in order to access the Telnet/SSH feature.

Task summary: Configuring the Telnet/SSH feature

To configure the Telnet/SSH feature: 1. Create resource profiles that enable access to Telnet and SSH servers, include bookmarks that link to those servers, and assign the bookmarks to user roles using settings in the Users > Resource Profiles > Telnet/SSH page of the admin console. We recommend that you use resource profiles to configure Telnet/SSH (as described above). However, if you do not want to use resource profiles, you can configure Telnet/SSH using role and resource policy settings in the following pages of the admin console instead: a. Create resource policies that enable access to Telnet and SSH servers using settings in the Users > Resource Policies > Telnet/SSH > Sessions page of the admin console.

b. Determine which user roles may access the Telnet and SSH servers that you want to intermediate, and then enable Telnet/SSH access for those roles through the Users > User Roles > Select Role > General > Overview page of the admin console. c. Create bookmarks to your Telnet and SSH servers using settings in the Users > User Roles > Select Role > Telnet/SSH > Access page of the admin console.

2. After configuring Telnet/SSH using resource profiles or roles and resource policies, you can modify general role and resource options in the following pages of the admin console: a. (Optional) Enable users to create their own connections to Telnet and SSH sessions using settings in the Users > User Roles > Select Role > Telnet/SSH > Options page of the admin console.

Defining a Telnet/SSH resource profile bookmark

When you create a Telnet/SSH resource profile, the IVE automatically creates a bookmark that links to the host that you specified in the resource profile. The IVE enables you to modify this bookmark as well as create additional bookmarks to the same host.
NOTE: When configuring bookmarks, note that:

To change the host, port, or username for a Telnet/SSH bookmark created through a resource profile, you must edit the values through the resource profiles Resource tab (not its Bookmark tab). You can only assign bookmarks to roles that you have already associated with the resource profilenot all of the roles defined on the IVE. To change the list of roles associated with the resource profile, use settings in its Roles tab. Bookmarks simply control which links the IVE displays to usersnot which resources the users can access. For example, if you enable access to a Telnet server through a resource profile but do not create a corresponding bookmark to that server, the user can still access the server by entering it into the Address field of the IVE home page. Make sure to enter a unique set of parameters when defining a Telnet/SSH bookmark. If you create two bookmarks that contain the same set of parameters, the IVE deletes one of the bookmarks from the end-user view. You will still be able to see both bookmarks, however, in the administrator console. For more information about resource profile bookmarks, see Defining bookmarks on page 78. To associate bookmarks with Telnet/SSH resource profiles: 1. If you want to create a resource profile bookmark through the standard resource profiles page: a. Navigate to the Users > Resource Profiles > Telnet/SSH> Select Resource Profile > Bookmarks page in the admin console.

b. Click the appropriate link in the Bookmark column if you want to modify an existing bookmark. Or, click New Bookmark to create an additional bookmark. Alternatively, if you want to create a resource profile bookmark through the user roles page: a. Navigate to the Users > User Roles > Select Role > Telnet/SSH > Sessions page in the admin console.

Defining resource policies: Telnet/SSH

When you enable the Telnet/SSH access feature for a role, you need to create resource policies that specify which remote servers a user may access. If the IVE matches a users request to a resource listed in a Telnet/SSH policy, the IVE performs the action specified for the resource.

456

Defining resource policies: Telnet/SSH

Chapter 17: Telnet/SSH

You can create resource policies through the standard interface (as described in this section) or through resource profiles (recommended method). When writing a Telnet/SSH resource policy, you need to supply key information: ResourcesA resource policy must specify one or more resources to which the policy applies. When writing a Telnet/SSH policy, you need to specify remote servers to which a user may connect. RolesA resource policy must specify the roles to which it applies. When a user makes a request, the IVE determines what policies apply to the role and then evaluates those policies that correspond to the request. ActionsA Telnet/SSH resource policy either allows or denies access to a server. The IVE engine that evaluates resource policies requires that the resources listed in a policys Resources list follow a canonical format, as explained in Specifying resources for a resource policy on page 83. This section contains the following information about defining Telnet/SSH resource policies: Writing Telnet/SSH resource policies on page 457 Matching IP addresses to host names on page 458

Writing Telnet/SSH resource policies

NOTE: Information in this section is provided for backwards compatibility. We recommend that you configure access to Telnet and SSH servers through resource profiles instead, since they provide a simpler, more unified configuration method. For more information, see Defining resource profiles: Telnet/SSH on page 450.

To write a Telnet/SSH resource policy: 1. In the admin console, choose Users > Resource Policies > Telnet/SSH > Access. 2. On the Telnet/SSH Policies page, click New Policy. 3. On the New Policy page, enter: a. A name to label this policy.

b. A description of the policy. (optional) 4.

Keep in mind that once the IVE matches the resource requested by the user to a resource in a policys (or a detailed rules) Resource list, it performs the specified action and stops processing policies.

Matching IP addresses to host names

You can configure Telnet/SSH to match IP addresses to host names specified as resources in your Telnet/SSH resource policies. When you enable this option, the IVE looks up IP address corresponding to each host name specified in a Telnet/SSH resource policy. When a user tries to access a server by specifying an IP address rather than the host name, the IVE compares the IP to its cached list of IP addresses to determine if a host name matches an IP. If there is a match, then the IVE accepts the match as a policy match and applies the action specified for the resource policy. When you enable this option, the IVE compiles a list of host names specified in the Resources field of each Telnet/SSH resource policy. The IVE then applies the option to this comprehensive list of host names.
NOTE: This option does not apply to host names that include wildcards and parameters.

To specify the Telnet/SSH resource option: 1. In the admin console, choose Users > Resource Policies > Telnet/SSH > Options.

Terminal Services overview

Use the Terminal Services feature to enable a terminal emulation session on a Windows terminal server, Citrix NFuse server, or Citrix Metaframe server. You can also use this feature to deliver the terminal services through the IVE, eliminating the need to use another Web server to host the clients. This section includes the following information about the Terminal Services feature: Terminal Services user experience on page 463 Terminal Services execution on page 464 Configuring Citrix to support ICA load balancing on page 467 Comparing IVE access mechanisms for configuring Citrix on page 469

Terminal Services user experience

From an end-user perspective, accessing secured terminal services resources through the IVE is simple. When you enable the Terminal Services feature for a user role, the end-user simply needs to: 1. Specify the resource that the user wants to accessThe user can specify the resource he wants to access by clicking a link or entering the resource in the IVE browse bar. Or, if you enable auto-launch for a bookmark, the IVE automatically launches the resource for the user when he signs into the IVE. 2. Enter credentials for the resourceWhen the user accesses a resource, the IVE prompts him to enter his username and password (if required by the resource). Or if you enable SSO, the IVE automatically sends this information to the resource without prompting the user. Once the resource verifies the credentials, the IVE launches the resource. Users can access terminal services resources using the following methods: Session bookmarksA session bookmark defines various information, including the server to which the user can connect, the terminal sessions window parameters, and the username and password that the IVE sends to the Windows terminal server or Metaframe server. You can create any number of session bookmarks for a role, enabling the user to access multiple servers using different session bookmarks for each. (Users can simultaneously open multiple sessions to the same terminal server or to different servers.)

Terminal Services overview

463

Juniper Networks Secure Access Administration Guide

URLs from other Web sitesIn most cases, users access session bookmarks directly from the IVE end-user console. If you do not want to require users to sign into the IVE end-user console in order to find and access terminal services links, however, you can create URLs on other Web sites that point to session bookmarks that you have already created on the IVE. Or, you can create URLs that include all of the parameters that you want to pass to the Terminal Services program, such as the host, ports, and terminal window parameters.
NOTE: If you create links on external servers to Terminal Services bookmarks on the IVE and you are using multiple customized sign-in URLs, some restrictions occur. For more information, see the note in Sign-in policies on page 181.

IVE browse barIn addition to enabling users to link to terminal services links through bookmarks and URLs, you can also enable them to access these resources through the IVE browse bar on Windows systems. Users can access Citrix Metaframe or Nfuse servers by entering ica://<hostname> in the browse field. Or, users can access Microsoft terminal services or remote desktop sessions by entering rdp://<hostname> in the browse field.

Terminal Services execution

Once a user accesses a terminal services resource, the IVE determines if it needs to download an RDP client or ICA client to the users computer. An RDP client is a Windows component that enables a connection between a Windows terminal server and a users machine. RDP clients enable the user to run an application on the server while only transmitting keyboard, mouse, and display information over the network. The IVE comes pre-equipped with a default RDP client (a Windows 2003 ActiveX control) that the IVE can install on your users machines if necessary. Once a connection is created, the IVE intermediates traffic between the Windows terminal server and the RDP client installed on the users system. An ICA client, or Independent Computing Architecture (ICA) client, is a Citrix component that enables a connection between a Citrix Metaframe server or server farm and a users machine. ICA clients enable the user to run an application on the server while only transmitting keyboard, mouse, and display information over the network. The IVE can install the ICA client of your choice on your users machines if necessary. Or, you can specify that the IVE should obtain an ICA client from the Citrix Web site or another URL. The IVE then controls the connection to the Citrix server using settings in its default ICA configuration file or a custom ICA file that you upload to the IVE. Once a connection is created, the IVE intermediates traffic between the Metaframe server and the ICA client installed on the users system. The following sections specify the criteria that the IVE uses to determine when to install an RDP client or ICA client on the users machine.
NOTE: For information about additional files installed by the IVE when you enable the Terminal Services feature, as well as the rights required to install and run the associated clients, see the Client-side Changes Guide on the Juniper Customer Support Center.

Determining when to install the native RDP client vs. ActiveX

The IVE considers the following factors when determining whether to install its default RDP client on the users computer: Does a native fat client exist on the users machine? RDP clients are available as fat clients and ActiveX clients. Many Windows systems come preinstalled with an RDP fat client. If the user is not trying to access an SSOenabled resource, this native RDP client is sufficient for accessing a Windows terminal server through the IVE. Is SSO enabled for the specified resource? Native RDP clients do not support single sign-on (SSO). For this reason, the IVE checks whether SSO is enabled through the IVE bookmark in order to determine whether or not the user needs the ActiveX client. Is an ActiveX client installed on the users machine? If the native RDP fat client is not available on the users system, or if SSO is enabled through the bookmark, the IVE checks whether an ActiveX version of the RDP client is available.

Determining when to install the native ICA client vs. ActiveX

The IVE considers the following factors when determining whether to install a native ICA client or ActiveX on the users computer: Is the TCPBrowserAddress parameter present in the custom ICA file? ICA clients are available as fat clients and ActiveX clients. If you upload a custom ICA file to the IVE that contains the TCPBrowserAddress parameter, the IVE uses the fat client instead of an ActiveX component. (By specifying the TCPBrowserAddress parameter in a custom ICA file, you can enable a Citrix server farm, or load balancing, through the IVE. For more information, see Configuring Citrix to support ICA load balancing on page 467.)
Terminal Services overview

Juniper Networks Secure Access Administration Guide

Does a fat client exist on the users machine? Users may choose to install a Citrix fat client (program neighborhood client) on their systems. If a user is not trying to access an SSO-enabled resource, this native ICA client is sufficient for accessing a Citrix Metaframe server through the IVE. Is SSO enabled for the specified resource? ICA fat clients do not support single sign-on (SSO). For this reason, the IVE checks whether SSO is enabled through the IVE bookmark in order to determine whether or not the user needs the ActiveX client. Is an ActiveX client installed on the users machine? If the native ICA fat client is not available on the users system, or if SSO is enabled through the bookmark, the IVE checks whether an ActiveX version of the ICA client is available.
NOTE:

You must use a native client with load balancing, but cannot use a native client with SSO. Therefore, the IVE does not support load balancing and SSO together. If you enable both of these options, the IVE gives precedence to load balancing and makes sure that the native client is installed on the users system. To determine if the ICA ActiveX client is already installed on a machine, check for the following entry in your Windows registry: HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{238F6F83-B8B4-11CF-8771-00A024541EE3}

Configuring Citrix to support ICA load balancing

The IVE Terminal Services feature supports connecting to Citrix server farms in which published applications are pre-configured (as described below). The IVE does not support load balancing configurations in which Nfuse servers dynamically retrieve a list of Citrix published applications within a server farm.

Citrix load balancing overview

The IVE supports the following Citrix load balancing scenario: 1. The Citrix administrator makes a published application available to multiple Citrix servers in a farm by generating a custom ICA file. The generated ICA file contains a parameter called HTTPBrowserAddress that points to IP address and port number of the master browser (that is, the server that performs the load balancing). 2. When the ICA client attempts to launch a published application on the users computer, it uses the HTTPBrowserAddress parameter to connect to the master browser. 3. The master browser pings servers in the farm to determine their respective loads and returns the IP address of the least busy server to the ICA client. 4. The ICA client uses the IP address returned by the master browser to connect to the appropriate terminal server.

Terminal Services overview

467

Juniper Networks Secure Access Administration Guide

Configuring Citrix load balancing

In order for the IVE to work properly with a Citrix farm, you must configure the Citrix farm and IVE as described in the following steps. Note that these instructions are based on using a Citrix Metaframe Presentation Server 3.0. 1. On the Citrix server, enable a server (or multiple servers) in your farm as a master browser: a. Right-click on a server in the Metaframe Farm and select Properties.

b. Select Metaframe Settings. c. Enter the TCP/IP port for the Citrix XML service.

2. On the Citrix server, publish the applications that are hosted on MetaFrame XP servers in the farm: a. Right-click on the Applications link and choose Publish applications.

b. Specify which desktop or application to publish. c. Follow the prompts in the wizard.

d. Specify the list of servers that host the application you are publishing and click Finish. e. The specified published application appears in the server farm.

3. On the Citrix server, generate a corresponding Citrix ICA File for the published application: a. Select the application you published in the previous step and select Create ICA file.

b. Follow the prompts in the wizard. c. On the TCP/IP + HTTP Server screen, enter the name of the HTTPBrowser server and the port number. (The port should match the Citrix XML Service port that you set up in the beginning of this section).

d. Save the ICA file. 4. On the IVE, upload the ICA file using settings in either of the following admin console pages: Users > User Roles > Select Role > Terminal Services > Sessions Users > Resource Profiles > Select Profile 5. On the IVE, create a resource policy for the HTTPBrowser server and port entered above.

468

Terminal Services overview

Chapter 18: Terminal Services

6. On the IVE, test the configuration by launching the bookmark as an end-user.

NOTE:

One of the Citrix servers in the farm performs the load balancing, not the IVE. If the ICA client is already installed on the users desktop then administrator rights are not required. For more information about the rights required to use the Terminal Services feature, see the Client-side Changes Guide on the Juniper Networks Customer Support Center. SSO does not work if you are using the Citrix Load Balancing feature. If the XML response from the master browser contains the hostname, it will not work through the IVE. To ensure that the response is in dot-port format (an IP address), disable the Enable XML service DNS address resolution option during the browser server configuration. This option controls whether the destination Citrix server is represented as a hostname or as an IP address.

Comparing IVE access mechanisms for configuring Citrix

The IVE supports several mechanisms for intermediating traffic between a Citrix server and client, including the Terminal Services, JSAM, WSAM, Network Connect, and hosted Java applets features. We recommend using the Terminal Services feature if you want to host the ICA client directly on the IVE instead of a third-party server. If you want to deliver ActiveX or Java applets from a third party Web server through the IVE or if you are using the Citrix fat clients, you can use other access mechanisms such as JSAM or WSAM. If you choose to use these methods, we strongly recommend that you use Citrix templates for your configuration. Citrix Web templates significantly reduce your configuration time by consolidating configuration settings into one place and by pre-populating a variety of resource policy settings for you depending on the type of Citrix setup you select. For more information, see Defining resource profiles: Citrix Web applications on page 307. The following table outlines key differences between accessing Citrix though a Terminal Services session versus a JSAM session.
Table 37: Accessing Citrix through Terminal Services versus JSAM Requirement
Configuring ports

Citrix terminal session

The IVE automatically monitors all traffic on port 1494. You do not need to configure which ports to monitor or which applications to intermediate.

JSAM
You must specify which ports and applications the IVE monitors. This enables you to use applications such as Citrix Secure Gateways (CSGs) and published applications that use ports other than 1494.

Defining resource profiles: Terminal Services

Terminal Services resource profile configuration instructions vary depending on whether you choose to use default or custom settings for your terminal server. If you choose to configure access to a Citrix server using a custom ICA file, you include many of your configuration settings in the ICA file itself, and therefore do not need to configure them through the IVE. For instructions, see Defining a Citrix profile using a custom ICA settings on page 476. If you choose to configure access to a Windows terminal server (which installs the default RDP client on your users machines) or you configure access to a Citrix server using the default ICA file on the IVE, you must configure additional settings through the IVE. For instructions, see Defining a Windows profile or Citrix profile using default ICA settings on page 470.

Defining a Windows profile or Citrix profile using default ICA settings

This section describes how to configure access to a Windows terminal server using an RDP client or Citrix Metaframe server using a default ICA configuration file. To create a Windows Terminal Services resource profile or Citrix resource profile that uses default ICA settings: 1.

If you customize this file, you must replace the following parameters in the default.ica file: <CITRIX_CLIENT_NAME>, <APPDATA> and <TARGET_SERVER>. Once you make changes, you must upload it to the IVE using instructions in Defining a Citrix profile using a custom ICA settings on page 476. 5. Enter a unique name and optionally a description for the resource profile. (This name becomes the default session bookmarks name.) 6. In the Host field, specify the server and port to which this resource profile should connect. When entering the server, you may enter a host name or IP address. For information about system variables and attributes that you can include in this field, see Using system variables in realms, roles, and resource policies on page 869. For information about matching IP addresses to host names, see Specifying the Terminal Services resource option on page 490. 7. Select the Create an access control policy allowing Terminal Service access to this server checkbox to enable access to the server specified in the Server Port field (enabled by default). 8. In the Server Port field, enter the port on which the terminal server listens. (By default, the IVE populates this field with port number 3389 for Windows and port 1494 for Citrix.) 9. Click Save and Continue. 10. In the Roles tab, select the roles to which the resource profile applies and click Add. The selected roles inherit the autopolicy and session bookmarks created by the resource profile. If it is not already enabled, the IVE also automatically enables the Terminal Services option in the Users > User Roles > Select Role > General > Overview page of the admin console for all of the roles you select. 11. Click Save Changes. 12. (Optional) In the Bookmarks tab, modify the default session bookmark created by the IVE and/or create new ones using instructions in Defining a bookmark for a Windows profile or Citrix profile using default ICA settings on page 471.

ICA settings
A terminal services session bookmark defines information about the terminal server to which users can connect and (optionally) applications that they can use on the terminal server. When you create a resource profile to a Windows terminal server or a Citrix server using a default ICA file, the IVE automatically creates a session bookmark that links to the host that you specified in the resource profile. The IVE enables you to modify this session bookmark as well as create additional session bookmarks to the same host. The session bookmarks that you define appear on the Terminal Services panel in the end-user console for users who map to the appropriate role. You may want to create multiple bookmarks for the same terminal services resource in order to provide easy access to multiple applications. For instance, the server defined in your resource profile may provide access to multiple applications (such as Siebel and Outlook). To easily provide access to each of these applications, you can create resource profile bookmarks to each. Or, you may want to use multiple bookmarks to configure single sign-on to one application, but not another.
NOTE: When configuring session bookmarks, note that:

To change the host or ports for a Terminal Services session bookmark created through a resource profile, you must edit the values through the resource profiles Resource tab (not its Bookmark tab). You can only assign session bookmarks to roles that you have already associated with the resource profilenot all of the roles defined on the IVE. To change the list of roles associated with the resource profile, use settings in its Roles tab. Session bookmarks simply control which links the IVE displays to usersnot which resources the users can access. For example, if you enable access to a terminal server through a resource profile but do not create a corresponding session bookmark to that server, the user can still access the server by entering it into the Address field of the IVE home page. Make sure to enter a unique set of parameters when defining a Terminal Services bookmark. If you create two bookmarks that contain the same set of parameters, the IVE deletes one of the bookmarks from the end-user view. You will still be able to see both bookmarks, however, in the administrator console. For more information about resource profile bookmarks, see Defining bookmarks on page 78. To associate session bookmarks with Terminal Services resource profiles: 1. If you want to create a resource profile session bookmark through the standard resource profiles page: a. Navigate to the Users > Resource Profiles > Terminal Services> Select Resource Profile > Bookmarks page in the admin console.

NOTE: If you select the Full Screen option and are connecting to a Windows terminal server, the IVE needs to modify the users hosts file in order to display the correct host name in the terminal services window. If the user does not have the proper rights to modify the hosts file, the IVE displays the loopback address instead.

Also note that in order to restore the hosts file to its original state after running the terminal services window, the user must properly close his application. Otherwise, other applications that use the hosts file (such as JSAM and Host Checker) might not run properly. The user can also restore his hosts file to its original state by rebooting his system or by renaming the backup hosts file (hosts_ive.bak). 5. If you want to the change the color-depth of the terminal session data, select 8bit, 15-bit, 16-bit, 24-bit, or 32-bit color from the Color Depth list. (By default, the IVE sets the color depth to 8-bit.)

NOTE: When configuring a Citrix session bookmark, note that the setting you choose here and the users local desktop setting both affect the clients colordepth display. If these settings do not match, the user sees the lower of the two color-depths during his session. For example, if you choose 16-bit color during IVE configuration, but the users local desktop is set to 8-bit, the user sees 8-bit color depth during his session.

6. If you want to automatically launch this Terminal Service session bookmark when a user signs in to the IVE, select the Auto-launch checkbox. When you select this option, the IVE launches the terminal services application in a separate window when the user signs into the IVE. 7. If you do not want to require the user to sign in to the terminal server, enter one of the following types of data in the Authentication section: Static username and passwordIf you enter a static username and password in this section, the IVE passes the same set of credentials to the terminal server whenever a user from this role attempts to access an application that controls the server. Username and password variablesIf you enter the <username> and <password> variables in this section, the IVE passes the users IVE primary authentication server sign-in credentials to the terminal server. To submit the credentials for the authentication secondary server, you must qualify them using the syntax: <username@SecondaryServerName> or <username[2]> and <Password@SecondaryServerName> or <Password[2]>. For more information about passing credentials to a terminal server and other SSO-enabled applications, see Multiple sign-in credentials overview on page 193.

The IVE passes the specified credentials to the terminal server when the user clicks this session bookmark. If the credentials fail, the server prompts the user to manually enter his username and password. 8. If you only want to enable the user to access specific applications on the terminal server, use the Start Application section to specify the following information about the application that the user can access: Path to applicationSpecify where the applications executable file resides on the terminal server. For example, you might enter the following directory for the Microsoft Word application:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office10\WinWord.exe

Working directorySpecify where the terminal server should place working files for the application. For example, you might specify that Microsoft Word should save files to the following directory by default:
C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\My Documents

You can use IVE session variables such as <username> and <password> in these fields. For example, when specifying an application path, you might want to include the <username> variable to personalize the location. For example: C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\My Documents. For a complete list of valid IVE session variables, see System variables and examples on page 860. 9. In the Connect Devices section, select which local resources users can access through the terminal services session: Connect local drivesConnects the users local drive to the terminal server, enabling the user to copy information from the terminal server to his local client directories. Connect local printersConnects the users local printers to the terminal server, enabling the user to print information from the terminal server to his local printer.

NOTE: When you enable local resources through the terminal server, each user can only access his own local resources. For instance, user 1 cannot see user 2s local directories.

10.

Defining a Citrix profile using a custom ICA settings

Use this type of resource profile to enable a terminal session to a Citrix Metaframe server using settings that you specify in a customized ICA file. Use custom ICA files to enable terminal sessions to a Citrix Metaframe servers or NFuse servers governing Citrix server farms (in other words, to load balance). You may also use custom ICA files to link to single servers, if necessary. When you select this option, the IVE uses the session parameters defined in the specified custom ICA file.
NOTE: To enable the connection between the IVE and the Citrix server farm, you must use the TCP/IP+HTTP protocol for browsing and specify the Citrix Metaframe or NFuse server port and IP address. The IVE does not support UDP port-forwarding.

To create a Citrix resource profile that uses a custom ICA file: 1. Navigate to the in the Users > Resource Profiles > Terminal Services page in the admin console. 2. Click New Profile. 3. From the Type list, select Citrix using custom ICA file. 4. In the Custom ICA File field, specify the ICA file that contains the session parameters that you want use. Note that you may download and customize the following ICA files from the IVE: ICA file that comes with the IVETo customize this file, see instructions in Defining a bookmark for a Windows profile or Citrix profile using default ICA settings on page 471. ICA file that you have already associated with the resource profileTo customize this file, click the Current ICA File link, save the file to your local machine, and customize the file as required. Once you make changes, you must upload the revised version to the IVE.

NOTE: Before uploading the ICA file, you should test it to make sure it initiates the

Citrix session correctly. To test, create an ICA file and access it directly. If the file displays the Citrix session correctly then it should work through the IVE. If you have configured TWIMode=on and you have set the initial application to Desktop (seamless mode), you must disable SSO in the terminal services bookmark configuration on the IVE to be able to test the ICA file as described. 5. Enter a unique name and optionally a description for the resource profile. (This name becomes the default session bookmarks name.)

6. If you want to enable access to the servers specified in the custom ICA file: a. Select the Autopolicy: Terminal Services Access Control checkbox.

b. In the Resource field, specify the Metaframe servers to which you want to enable access. c. From the Action list, choose Allow to enable access to the specified resource or Deny to block access to the specified resource.

d. Click Add. 7. Click Save and Continue. 8. In the Roles tab, select the roles to which the resource profile applies and click Add. The selected roles inherit the autopolicy and session bookmarks created by the resource profile. If it is not already enabled, the IVE also automatically enables the Terminal Services option in the Users > User Roles > Select Role > General > Overview page of the admin console for all of the roles you select. 9. Click Save Changes. 10. (Optional) In the Bookmarks tab, modify the default session bookmark created by the IVE and/or create new ones using instructions in Defining a bookmark for a Citrix profile using a custom ICA file on page 477. (By default, the IVE creates a session bookmark to the server defined in your custom ICA file and displays it to all users assigned to the role specified in the Roles tab.)

Defining a bookmark for a Citrix profile using a custom ICA file

A terminal services session bookmark defines information about the terminal server to which users can connect and (optionally) applications that they can use on the terminal server. When you create a resource profile to a Citrix server using a custom ICA file, the IVE automatically creates a session bookmark. The IVE enables you to modify this session bookmark as well as create additional session bookmarks to the same host. The session bookmarks that you define appear on the Terminal Services panel in the end-user console for users who map to the appropriate role.

Defining resource profiles: Terminal Services

477

Juniper Networks Secure Access Administration Guide

You may want to create multiple bookmarks for the same Metaframe server in order to provide easy access to multiple applications. For instance, the server defined in your resource profile may provide access to multiple applications (such as Siebel and Outlook). To easily provide access to each of these applications, you can create resource profile bookmarks to each. Or, you may want to use multiple bookmarks to configure single sign-on to one application, but not another.
NOTE: When configuring session bookmarks, note that:

You can only assign session bookmarks to roles that you have already associated with the resource profilenot all of the roles defined on the IVE. To change the list of roles associated with the resource profile, use settings in its Roles tab. Session bookmarks simply control which links the IVE displays to usersnot which resources the users can access. For example, if you enable access to a terminal server through a custom ICA file but do not create a corresponding session bookmark to that server, the user can still access the server by entering it into the Address field of the IVE home page. Make sure to enter a unique set of parameters when defining a Terminal Services bookmark. If you create two bookmarks that contain the same set of parameters, the IVE deletes one of the bookmarks from the end-user view. You will still be able to see both bookmarks, however, in the administrator console. For more information about resource profile bookmarks, see Defining bookmarks on page 78. To associate session bookmarks with Terminal Services resource profiles: 1. If you want to create a resource profile session bookmark through the standard resource profiles page: a. Navigate to the Users > Resource Profiles > Terminal Services> Select Resource Profile > Bookmarks page in the admin console.

b. Click the appropriate link in the Bookmark column if you want to modify an existing session bookmark. Or, click New Bookmark to create an additional session bookmark. Alternatively, if you want to create a resource profile session bookmark through the user roles page: a. Navigate to the Users > User Roles > Select Role > Terminal Services> Sessions page in the admin console.

When you enable the Terminal Services option through the admin console, you can create IVE session bookmarks to your terminal server. A terminal services session bookmark defines information about the terminal server to which users can connect and (optionally) applications that they can use on the terminal server. The session bookmarks that you define appear on the Terminal Services panel in the end-user console for users who map to the appropriate role. You can use two different methods to create Terminal Services session bookmarks: Create session bookmarks through existing resource profiles (recommended)When you select this method, the IVE automatically populates the session bookmark with key parameters (such as the session type) using settings from the resource profile. Additionally, while you are creating the associated resource profile, the IVE guides you through the process of creating any required policies to enable access to the session bookmark. For configuration instructions, see Defining a bookmark for a Windows profile or Citrix profile using default ICA settings on page 471 and Defining a bookmark for a Citrix profile using a custom ICA file on page 477. Create standard session bookmarksWhen you select this option, you must manually enter all session bookmark parameters during configuration. Additionally, you must enable access to the Terminal Services feature and create resource policies that enable access to the servers defined in the session bookmark (as explained in Task Summary: Configuring the Terminal Services feature on page 461). For configuration instructions, see Creating advanced Terminal Services session bookmarks on page 481.

NOTE: If you enable the Terminal Services option but do not give users the ability to create their own session bookmarks, make sure that you configure session bookmarks for them. Otherwise, users cannot use this feature.

You can also enable users to create their own session bookmarks on the IVE homepage and browse to the terminal servers using the IVE browse bar. Or, you can create links from an external sites to a terminal services bookmarks.

NOTE:

The information in this section is provided for backwards compatibility. We recommend that you configure access to Windows terminal servers and Citrix servers through resource profiles instead, since they provide a simpler, more unified configuration method. For more information, see Defining resource profiles: Terminal Services on page 470. Make sure to enter a unique set of parameters when defining a Terminal Services bookmark. If you create two bookmarks that contain the same set of parameters, the IVE deletes one of the bookmarks from the end-user view. You will still be able to see both bookmarks, however, in the administrator console. To create a session bookmark for terminal sessions: 1. In the admin console, choose Users > User Roles > Role > Terminal Services > Sessions. 2. Click Add Session. 3.

c.

From the Screen Size list, specify how large you want the IVE to make the terminal services window on the users workstation.

NOTE: If you select the Full Screen option and are connecting to a Windows terminal server, the IVE needs to modify the users hosts file in order to display the correct host name in the terminal services window. If the user does not have the proper rights to modify the hosts file, the IVE displays the loopback address instead.

Also note that in order to restore the hosts file to its original state after running the terminal services window, the user must properly close his application. Otherwise, other applications that use the hosts file (such as JSAM and Host Checker) might not run properly. The user can also restore his hosts file to its original state by rebooting his system or by renaming the backup hosts file (hosts_ive.bak). d. From the Color Depth list, specify whether the IVE should display terminal session data in 8-bit, 15-bit, 16-bit, 24-bit, or 32-bit color.

NOTE: When configuring a Citrix session bookmark, note that the setting you choose here and the users local desktop setting both affect the clients colordepth display. If these settings do not match, the user sees the lower of the two color-depths during his session. For example, if you choose 16-bit color during IVE configuration, but the users local desktop is set to 8-bit, the user sees 8-bit color depth during his session.

Creating links from an external site to a terminal services session bookmark

When creating a link to a terminal services session bookmark from another site, you can construct either of the following types of URLs: URL that includes all necessary parametersCreate a URL that includes all of the parameters that you want to pass to the terminal services program, such as the host, ports, and terminal window parameters. When constructing the URL, use the following syntax:
https://<IVE>/dana/term/winlaunchterm.cgi?<param1>=<value1>&<param2>=< value2>

When constructing your URL, you can use the case-insensitive parameter names described in Table 38. If you want to include more than one parameter in the session bookmark, string them together using ampersand characters (&). For example:
https://YourIVE.com/dana/term/winlaunchterm.cgi?host=yourtermserver.yourdo main.com&type=Windows&clientPort=1094&serverPort=3389&user=john&passw ord=abc123&screenSize=fullScreen

When constructing the URL, use the following syntax:
https://<IVE>/dana/term/winlaunchterm.cgi?bmname=<bookmarkName>

Within the URL, only define the bmName parameter.

NOTE: When using the IVE to host Terminal Services session bookmarks, you must:

Enable the User can add sessions option in the Users > User Roles > Select Role > Terminal Services > Options page. If you do not select this option, users cannot link to the Terminal Services session bookmarks from external sites. Create a policy that prevents the IVE from rewriting the link and the page that contains the link using settings in the Users > Resource Policies > Web > Rewriting > Selective Rewriting page of the admin console. For instructions, see Creating a selective rewriting resource policy on page 340. Additionally, we recommend that you use https protocol instead of http. Otherwise, when users launch the session bookmark, they see an insecure site warning.

NOTE: If you create links on external servers to Terminal Services bookmarks on the IVE and you are using multiple customized sign-in URLs, some restrictions occur. For more information, see the note in Sign-in policies on page 181.

Users can create their own terminal services session bookmarks and can configure the IVE to create Terminal Services resource policies that enable access to the servers specified in the terminal services session bookmarks. To specify general Terminal Services options: 1. In the admin console, choose Users > User Roles > Role > Terminal Services > Options. 2. If you are enabling Citrix sessions, under Citrix client delivery method, specify where the IVE should obtain the ICA client to download to users systems: Downloaded from the Citrix web siteThe IVE installs the latest version of the ICA client from the Citrix web site: http://download2.citrix.com/files/en/products/client/ica/current/wficac.cab Downloaded from the IVEUse the Browse button to browse to the ICA client on your local network. Once you upload the client, the IVE uses it as the default and downloads it to your users systems when necessary. You must also specify the exact version number of the ICA client.

487

Juniper Networks Secure Access Administration Guide

NOTE:

We recommend that you test the Citrix client that you expect the IVE to download with the custom ICA file that you have uploaded to the IVE. Perform this testing without the IVE to determine if the Citrix client supports the features in the custom ICA file. If the features do not work without the IVE, they will not work through the IVE either. If you choose to download an ICA client from the Citrix web site or a URL, the IVE secures the download transaction by processing the URL through the IVE Content Intermediation Engine. Therefore, you must choose a site that is accessible by the IVE and enabled for users within this role. You can determine the version number of an ICA client by extracting the cab file (for example, wficat.cab), looking for an inf file in the archive (for example, wficat.inf), and then locating the information about each ocx in the inf file. For example, wficat.inf (in wficat.cab) might contain the following information:
[wfica.ocx] file-win32-x86=thiscab clsid={238F6F83-B8B4-11CF-8771-00A024541EE3} FileVersion=8,00,24737,0 [wfica32.exe] file-win32-x86=thiscab FileVersion=8,00,24737,0

In this case, 8,00,23737,0 is the file version. (Note that the version includes commas instead of periods.) 3. Enable the User can add sessions option to enable users to define their own terminal session bookmarks and to enable users to access terminal servers through the IVE browse bar on the IVE home page. When you enable this option, the Add Terminal Services Session button appears on the Terminal Services page the next time a user refreshes the IVE user console. 4. Enable the Auto-allow role Terminal Services sessions option to enable the IVE to automatically enable access to the resources defined in the terminal session bookmark (rather than having to create resource policies). Note that this only applies to role bookmarks, not user bookmarks.

NOTE: You may not see the Auto-allow option if you are using a new installation or if an administrator hides the option. For more information on this option, see Setting system options on page 575.

5. Enable the Users can connect drives and User can connect printers options to allow users to connect local drives and printers to the remote terminal server.

Defining resource policies: Terminal Services

This section contains the following information about configuring resource policies for the Terminal Services feature: Configuring Terminal Services resource policies on page 489 Specifying the Terminal Services resource option on page 490

Configuring Terminal Services resource policies

NOTE: The information in this section is provided for backwards compatibility. We

recommend that you configure access to Windows terminal servers and Citrix servers through resource profiles instead, since they provide a simpler, more unified configuration method. For more information, see Defining resource profiles: Terminal Services on page 470. When you enable the Terminal Services feature for a role, you need to create resource policies that specify which remote servers a user can access. You can create resource policies through the standard interface (as described in this section) or through resource profiles (recommended method). When writing a Terminal Services resource policy, you need to supply key information: ResourcesA resource policy must specify one or more resources to which the policy applies. When writing a Terminal Services policy, you need to specify the terminal server to which users can connect. RolesA resource policy must specify the roles to which it applies. When a user makes a request, the IVE determines what policies apply to the role and then evaluates those policies that correspond to the request. ActionsA Terminal Services resource policy either allows or denies access to a terminal server. The IVE platforms engine that evaluates resource policies requires that the resources listed in a policys Resources list follow a canonical format, as explained in Specifying resources for a resource policy on page 83. To write a Terminal Services resource policy: 1. In the admin console, choose Users > Resource Policies > Terminal Services > Access. 2. On the Terminal Services Policies page, click New Policy.

3. On the New Policy page, enter: a. A name to label this policy.

b. A description of the policy. (optional) 4. In the Resources section, specify the servers to which this policy applies using the guidelines described in Specifying server resources on page 84. 5. In the Roles section, specify: Policy applies to ALL rolesTo apply this policy to all users. Policy applies to SELECTED rolesTo apply this policy only to users who are mapped to roles in the Selected roles list. Make sure to add roles to this list from the Available roles list. Policy applies to all roles OTHER THAN those selected belowTo apply this policy to all users except for those who map to the roles in the Selected roles list. Make sure to add roles to this list from the Available roles list. 6. In the Action section, specify: Allow accessTo grant access to the servers specified in the Resources list. Deny accessTo deny access to the servers specified in the Resources list. Use Detailed RulesTo specify one or more detailed rules for this policy. See Writing a detailed rule on page 88 for more information. 7. Click Save Changes. 8. On the Terminal Services Policies page, order the policies according to how you want the IVE to evaluate them. Keep in mind that once the IVE matches the resource requested by the user to a resource in a policys (or a detailed rules) Resource list, it performs the specified action and stops processing policies.

Specifying the Terminal Services resource option

Use the Options tab to match IP addresses to host names specified as resources in your terminal services resource policies. When you enable this option, the IVE looks up IP address corresponding to each host name specified in a Terminal Services resource policy. When a user tries to access a server by specifying an IP address rather than the host name, the IVE compares the IP to its cached list of IP addresses to determine if a host name matches an IP. If there is a match, then the IVE accepts the match as a policy match and applies the action specified for the resource policy.

490

Defining resource policies: Terminal Services

Chapter 18: Terminal Services

When you enable this option, the IVE compiles a list of host names specified in the Resources field of each Terminal Services resource policy. The IVE then applies the option to this comprehensive list of host names.
NOTE: This option does not apply to host names that include wildcards and parameters.

To specify the Terminal Services resource option: 1. In the admin console, choose Users > Resource Policies > Terminal Services > Options. 2. Select IP based matching for Hostname based policy resources. 3. Click Save Changes.

Secure Meeting
Secure Meeting allows IVE users to securely schedule and hold online meetings between both IVE users and non-IVE users. In meetings, users can share their desktops and applications with one another over a secure connection, allowing everyone in the meeting to instantaneously share electronic data on-screen. Meeting attendees can also securely collaborate online by remote-controlling one another's desktops and through text chatting using a separate application window that does not interfere with the presentation. This section includes the following Secure Meeting information: Licensing: Secure Meeting availability on page 493 Task Summary: Configuring Secure Meeting on page 494 Secure Meeting overview on page 495 Defining role settings: Secure Meeting on page 503 Defining resource policies: Secure Meeting on page 508 Troubleshooting Secure Meeting on page 511 Monitoring Secure Meeting on page 512

NOTE: The instructions listed here are supplemental to standard IVE configuration instructions documented throughout this guide.

To configure Secure Meeting: 1. Specify a network identity for the IVE through the System > Network > Overview page of the admin console. Secure Meeting uses this host name when constructing meeting URLs for email notifications. For instructions, see Configuring network settings on page 558. 2. Configure role-level settings using settings in the following pages of the admin console: Use settings in the Users > User Roles > Select Role> General page to enable Secure Meeting at the role level. For instructions, see Defining role settings: Secure Meeting on page 503. Use settings in the Users > User Roles > Select Role > Meetings > Options page to configure role-level meeting restrictions. For instructions, see Defining role settings: Secure Meeting on page 503. 3. Specify which authentication servers meeting creators can access and search using settings in the following pages of the admin console: Use settings in the Users > User Roles > Select Role > Meetings > Auth Servers page to specify which authentication servers meeting creators can access and search. For instructions, see Specifying authentication servers that meeting creators can access on page 507. If you want to allow meeting creators to invite users from an LDAP server, use settings in Authentication > Auth. Servers > Select LDAP Server> Meetings page to enable the server. For instructions, see Configuring LDAP search attributes for meeting creators on page 110. 4. If you want to change the default sign-in page or URL that meeting attendees use to sign into meetings, use settings in the following pages of the admin console to configure meeting sign-in policies: Use settings in the Authentication > Signing In > Sign-in Pages page to customize the pages that meeting attendees see when they sign into a meeting. Use settings in the Authentication > Signing In > Sign-in Policies > [Meeting policy] page to define the URL that meeting invitees must use in order to access a meeting. You can also use this page to associate a meeting page with the URL.

Use settings in the Authentication > Signing In > Sign-in Policies > [User policy] page to associate your meeting sign-in policy with a user signin policy. The IVE applies the specified meeting URL to any meeting created by a user who signs into the associated user URL. 5. Configure system-level meeting settings, include session timeouts, SMTP server information, time zone settings, and color-depth settings using options in the Users > Resource Policies > Meetings page of the admin console. For instructions, see Defining resource policies: Secure Meeting on page 508. 6. If you want to enable client-side logging, use settings in the following pages of the admin console: Use settings in the System > Log/Monitoring > Client Logs > Settings page of the admin console to enable client-side logging. You must enable this option in order to generate logs for IVE end-users and for meeting attendees. For instructions, see Enabling client-side logs on page 679. Use settings in the Users > Resource Policies > Meetings page of the admin console to enable meeting attendees to upload their log files directly to the IVE, rather than having to package and email them to you. For instructions, see Defining resource policies: Secure Meeting on page 508. Use settings in the System > Log/Monitoring > Uploaded Logs page of the admin console to view the logs that users push to the IVE. For instructions, see Viewing uploaded client-side logs on page 682.

Scheduling meetings
Each Secure Meeting online meeting must be scheduled by an IVE user. The meeting creator specifies meeting details such as the meeting name, description, start time, start date, recurrence pattern, duration, password, and a list of invitees. Meeting creators can use either of the following applications to schedule meetings: IVE end user consoleWhen the meeting creator uses the IVE end user console to schedule a meeting, Secure Meeting displays it in the Meetings page of meeting-enabled IVE invitees. If you choose to enable a Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) email server, Secure Meeting also sends a notification email to each invitee with a known email address (as described in Sending notification emails on page 497). For more information, see Scheduling meetings through the IVE end user console on page 496. Microsoft OutlookWhen the meeting creator uses Microsoft Outlook to schedule a meeting, Outlook displays it in the Calendar page of other Outlookenabled invitees and sends a notification email to each invitee through the Outlook email server (as described in Sending notification emails on page 497). Secure Meeting also displays the meeting in the Meetings page of the IVE end user console for the meeting creator (but does not send email notifications through the SMTP server). For more information, see Scheduling meetings through Microsoft Outlook on page 497. Meeting creators can bypass these scheduling mechanisms if they choose to create instant meetings or support meetings instead of standard meetings. For more information, see Creating instant meetings and support meetings on page 501.

Scheduling meetings through the IVE end user console

If you enable meeting creation abilities at the role level, IVE users can create meetings through the Meetings page of the IVE end user console. When they do, they must specify all of the standard meeting details such as the meeting name, description, start time, start date, recurrence pattern, duration, password, and a list of invitees. Additionally, they must categorize all invitees into one of two categories: IVE inviteesAn IVE invitee (also called an in-network invitee) is an IVE user who signs into the same IVE appliance or cluster as the meeting creator. When inviting an IVE user to a meeting, the meeting creator must specify the users IVE username and authentication server. For more information, see Specifying authentication servers that meeting creators can access on page 507. Non-IVE inviteesA non-IVE invitee (also called an out-of-network invitee) is a non-IVE user or an IVE user who signs into a different IVE appliance or cluster than the meeting creator. When inviting a non-IVE user to a meeting, the meeting creator must specify the users email address.
NOTE: If an IVE invitee uses the meeting URL instead of the Meetings page in the IVE end user console to join a meeting, Secure Meeting classifies the user as a non-IVE invitee. For more information, see Joining meetings on page 498.

496

Secure Meeting overview

Chapter 19: Secure Meeting

Scheduling meetings through Microsoft Outlook

If you enable meeting creation abilities at the role level, IVE users can create meetings through the Microsoft Outlook calendar using the Secure Meeting for Outlook plug-in. To use this plug-in, the user must: 1. Install the plug-in from the Meetings page in the IVE end user console. 2. Open the Secure Meeting scheduling form in Outlook by choosing New > Secure Meeting. 3. Use the Secure Meeting tab to enter details about the IVE on which the meeting should be scheduled as well as the users sign-in credentials, realm, and a meeting password.
NOTE: Due to limitations with Microsoft Outlook, not all meeting details cross-

populate between Microsoft Outlook and the IVE. For example, if the user schedules a meeting through the IVE, Microsoft Outlook does not display the meeting in its calendar. For a complete list of restrictions, see the Secure Meeting for Outlook document available from the IVE end user help system as well as the Secure Meeting for Outlook plug-in installer. 4. Use the Scheduling and Appointment tabs to schedule the meeting and add invitees using standard Outlook functionality. Note that Secure Meeting supports creating standard or recurring meetings through Outlook. 5. Save the calendar entry to send the information to the Secure Meeting server. Note that when saving a meeting, the user might see a certificate warning because the plug-in is communicating with a secure server. 6. Outlook sends invitation emails to the invitees using the text and meeting URL link constructed by the Secure Meeting for Outlook plug-in. Outlook also adds the meeting to the Outlook calendars of meeting invitees. This calendar item includes all of the standard information recorded by Outlook as well as an additional Secure Meeting tab containing the information specified by the meeting creator in the Secure Meeting tab. Note that the IVE does not send an additional email using the SMTP server. For more information, see Sending notification emails on page 497.
NOTE: The Secure Meeting for Outlook plug-in is only supported on Windows machines with Outlook 2000, 2002, or 2003.

Sending notification emails

You can configure Secure Meeting or Outlook to send notification emails to invitees when the meeting creator saves a new or modified meeting. The email contains meeting details, a link that the invitee can use to join the meeting, and another link that the invitee can use to check whether his system is compatible with Secure Meeting. (For more information, see Monitoring Secure Meeting on page 512.)

Secure Meeting overview

Juniper Networks Secure Access Administration Guide

If your users are scheduling meetings through the IVE end user console, you must enable an SMTP server in the Users > Resource Policies > Meetings page of the admin console in order to send email notifications to invitees. When you do, Secure Meeting obtains email addresses from the following sources: Preferences pageAn IVE user can enter his email address in the General tab of the Preferences page. When he does, Secure Meeting automatically uses that address when a meeting creator selects the users name from the Local tab in the Add Invitees dialog box. For more information, see Specifying authentication servers that meeting creators can access on page 507. LDAP serverThe meeting creator can add users from an LDAP server. If that server stores email addresses for its users, Secure Meeting automatically uses that address when a meeting creator selects the users name from the LDAP tab in the Add Invitees dialog box. For more information, see Defining role settings: Secure Meeting on page 503. Create Meeting pageThe meeting creator can manually enter (or override) the email addresses of meeting invitees while scheduling or updating a meeting. Otherwise, if your users are scheduling a meeting through Microsoft Outlook, the Secure Meeting for Outlook plug-in uses the email addresses that are stored on the Outlook email server.

Joining meetings
Invitees are allowed to join up to 15 minutes before the meeting is scheduled to start. Secure Meeting holds its online meetings on the IVE, allowing both IVE users and non-IVE users to attend meetings. (However, non-IVE meeting attendees cannot access anything on the IVE except the meeting to which they were invited.) To join a meeting, Secure Meeting invitees must navigate to the meeting site on the Secure Meeting server (IVE) using one of the following methods: Use the link provided in the Meetings page (IVE invitees only). Use the link provided in the notification email. Enter the meeting URL in a Web browser. To obtain the URL for a meeting, the meeting creator can look on the Join Meeting page. Or, if you choose to use the default meeting URL, any meeting invitee can determine the appropriate URL by entering the applicable values into the following URL:
https://<YourIVE>/meeting/<MeetingID>

Where:
<YourIVE> is the name and domain of the IVE hosting the meeting, such as IVEserver.yourcompany.com. Secure Meeting pulls this name from the

Hostname field in the System > Network > Overview tab, if defined. Otherwise, Secure Meeting pulls the IVE name from the meeting creators browser.
498
Secure Meeting overview

Chapter 19: Secure Meeting

meeting is a literal string. (This string is always the same.) Note that meeting

must start with a lower-case m.

<MeetingID> is the unique 8-digit identification number that Secure Meeting

generates for the meeting. If the user does not include the meeting ID in the URL, Secure Meeting prompts him for it when he signs into the meeting. For example:
https://connect.acmegizmo.com/meeting/86329712

NOTE: You can choose to customize the meeting URL using the customized sign-in

pages feature, as explained in Configuring sign-in policies on page 183. If you do, users cannot access a meeting using the URL described here. Once they have navigated to the meeting site, authenticated IVE users can directly join the meetingthey do not need to enter a username or password to access the meeting site on the IVE since they are already authenticated through the IVE. Non-IVE users must enter a name and password in the meeting sign-in page, however, since they are not yet authenticated. Secure Meeting authenticates the non-IVE users based on the meeting IDs and passwords that they enter in the signin page. (Note that the IVE does not use the invitees names for authenticationit only uses the names for display purposes during the meeting.) When an invitee chooses to join a meeting, Secure Meeting downloads and launches either a Windows client or a Java applet on to the invitees system. This client-side component contains a meeting viewer, presentation tools, and a text messaging application. Once Secure Meeting launches the Windows client or Java applet on the users desktop, the user becomes a meeting attendee and can begin participating in the meeting.
NOTE: When configuring Secure Meeting, note that:

Secure Meeting does not work with PAC files on Macintosh or Linux systems. Secure Meeting allows Windows users to join meetings through an NTLM proxy with or without authentication, provided that their browsers properly support proxies. Secure Meeting does not support NTLM proxies on Macintosh or Linux clients. If a user signs into a clustered appliance using the clusters IP address, the user creates a meeting, and then you delete the cluster through the Web or serial console, the meeting hangs since you have eliminated the IP address that the meeting creator signed into before creating and joining the meeting. This situation does not occur when the user signs in using the appliances IP address rather than the clusters IP address. Similarly, you should not change the name of a cluster node if a meeting is running on the node.

Attending meetings
By default, as soon as an attendee joins a meeting, he can see the names of other users who are attending the meeting and can start sending text messages to them using the Secure Meeting Chat window. However, you can choose to disable these capabilities in order to make meetings more secure or productive. For instance, if your companys CFO chooses to hold a meeting with your companys analyst community, you can choose to hide attendee names in order to keep the identities of the analysts confidential. Additionally, you can choose to disable text chatting so that the meeting attendees cannot disrupt the CFOs presentation. You can disable text chatting and enable hidden names for individual user roles. Or, you can specify that meeting creators within the role can decide themselves whether or not Secure Meeting hides attendee names. If you do, meeting creators can make this choice in the following situations: When scheduling or modifying a meeting from the Meetings page of the standard IVE interface. (The meeting creator cannot choose to hide attendee names from the Microsoft Outlook scheduling interface.) When joining a standard meeting or instant meeting. (Note, however, that the meeting creator can only choose to hide attendee names if he is the first person to join the meeting. If another attendee joins the meeting before the creator, Secure Meeting automatically displays the names of the meeting attendees and does not allow the meeting creator to change the display setting.) If you or the meeting creator chooses to hide attendee names, Secure Meeting users can only see their own names and the names of the meeting conductor and presenter. For more information, see Conducting meetings on page 500 and Presenting meetings on page 501.

Conducting meetings
The meeting conductor is an IVE user who is responsible for starting the meeting. Secure Meeting grants the conductor the following responsibilities and capabilities in order to help him effectively run his meeting: Starting the meeting presentationBefore the conductor joins, the other attendees can only chat. They cannot view or make a presentation because the conductor is also the default meeting presenter. The meeting presenter starts the meeting presentation by sharing his desktop or applications with other attendees, as explained in Presenting meetings on page 501. Passing conductor and presenter rightsThe meeting conductor can choose to pass some or all of his responsibilities to another meeting attendee. For instance, after joining the meeting, the conductor can specify that another attendee should start the meeting presentation by passing that attendee presenter rights. The conductor can pass his conductor rights to any other IVE user and pass his presenter rights to any other IVE user or non-IVE user.

500

Secure Meeting overview

Chapter 19: Secure Meeting

Monitoring the meeting The meeting conductor is responsible for expelling meeting attendees if necessary. The meeting conductor can also see the names of all meeting attendees so that he can determine who is attending (even if the meeting creator or administrator chooses to hide names, as described in Attending meetings on page 500). Ending the meetingThe meeting conductor is responsible for extending the meeting if it runs over the scheduled duration and closing the meeting when it is done.

Presenting meetings
Once the presenter begins sharing, a meeting viewer automatically opens on all of the meeting attendees' desktops and displays the presenters shared applications1. Secure Meeting grants the presenter the following capabilities in order to help him effectively present to other users: Sharing multiple applicationsThe presenter can share a single application, multiple applications, or his entire desktop with other meeting attendees. (Note that Macintosh users cannot share individual applications. The can only share their desktops.) Annotating presentationsThe presenter can use annotations in the Secure Meeting toolbar to illustrate key concepts or to point to important features in a shared application. In addition, he can enable annotation rights for other meeting attendees. Passing controller rightsThe meeting presenter can designate a controller. A meeting controller uses his own mouse and keyboard to remote control the presenters shared desktop or applications. The presenter can pass remote control rights to any other attendee. When the presenter wants to regain control of his remote-controlled applications, he simply needs to click and Secure Meeting returns control to the presenter. Like the meeting conductor, the meeting presenter can also see the names of all meeting attendees (even if the meeting creator or administrator chooses to hide names, as described in Attending meetings on page 500). Secure Meeting allows him to view all attendee names so that he knows to whom he is passing controller rights.
NOTE: Meeting presenters cannot enable annotations and remote control at the same time.

Creating instant meetings and support meetings

Instant meetings and support meetings are meeting that users can quickly create without going through the IVE or Microsoft Outlook scheduling pages. Instead, an IVE user simply needs to click the Instant Meeting button or Support Meeting button in the IVE end-user console and click Start Meeting. The IVE then starts the meeting.

1. Secure Meeting cannot display the content of meeting presenters desktop if it is locked.

Secure Meeting overview

501

Juniper Networks Secure Access Administration Guide

When creating instant meetings and support meetings, the IVE expedites the process by skipping certain scheduling steps. For instance, the IVE does not prompt the meeting creator to add the email addresses of other invitees. Instead, the IVE makes the meeting creator the only meeting invitee. The meeting creator can then provide other invitees with the information they need to join the meeting, such as the meeting URL, ID, and password (as explained in Joining meetings on page 498). The IVE also expedites the scheduling process by making certain assumptions about what the meeting attendees want to do. For instance, in addition to making the meeting creator the only meeting invitee, the IVE also assumes that he wants to run the meeting and therefore makes him the meeting conductor. (In fact, since other attendees are probably joining the meeting through the meeting URL instead of the IVE end-user console, the meeting creator is the only user who can conduct the meeting, as explained in Conducting meetings on page 500.) Additionally, the IVE automatically assigns a meeting name (Secure Meeting (MeetingID) for instant meetings and Support Meeting (MeetingID) for support meetings), a meeting start time and date (immediately), a meeting duration (one hour), and a meeting recurrence (one-time meeting).1 The IVE also uses default settings that correspond to the meeting type: Instant meetingAn instant meeting is basically a standard meeting that users can create more quickly. Therefore, when a user chooses to create an instant meeting, the IVE applies all of the users role-level settings, such as authentication requirements, remote control, and secure chatting. Support meetingA support meeting is a two-person meeting that is primarily intended to allow an IVE user to quickly troubleshoot another users problem. Therefore, the IVE does not enable all of the users role-level settings. Instead, the IVE automatically enables those options that facilitate quick troubleshooting and disables other settings, as described below: Desktop sharing enabledWhen the second user joins the meeting, the IVE automatically shares his desktop with the meeting conductor, enabling the conductor to immediately view the users problem without having to explain what a meeting presenter is or how to share a desktop. Remote control initiatedWhen the second user joins the meeting, the IVE automatically asks him whether the conductor can remote control his desktop. Assuming the user clicks Yes, the meeting creator can immediately start navigating through the users computer in order to find and fix the problem. If the user clicks No, the conductor can gain remote control later using the standard request mechanisms. Annotations disabledThe IVE does not expose the annotations feature during a support meeting, since the meeting only contains two users. If the users need to demonstrate a problem to each other, they can use the remote control feature to directly control the troubled applications.

1. The meeting creator can change the default settings for an instant meeting or support meeting by navigating back to the Meeting Details page after creating the meeting.

502

12. Under Support Meeting, select the Allow Support Meeting checkbox if you want to enable users to create two-person support meetings (as explained in Creating instant meetings and support meetings on page 501).
NOTE: If you select the Allow Support Meeting option, you must also enable remote control so the meeting creator can quickly identify and fix the problem on the other users computer. We also recommend that you disable the Require secure gateway authentication option under Authentication Requirements so that meeting conductors can troubleshoot problems for users who do not have IVE credentials.

13. Under Meeting Policy Settings, indicate whether or not you want to restrict the resources that are used by Secure Meeting users: Limit number of simultaneous meetingsSelect this checkbox and enter a corresponding value to specify the maximum number of meetings that may be held by at any given time by members of the role. Limit number of simultaneous meeting attendeesSelect this checkbox and enter a corresponding value to specify the maximum number of people that may simultaneously attend meetings scheduled by members of the role. Limit duration of meetings (minutes)Select this checkbox and enter a corresponding value to specify a maximum duration (in minutes) that a meeting may run.
NOTE: The IVE also limits the number of meetings users can attend. An individual

user can only attend one meeting at a time per computer and cannot attend more than 10 consecutive meetings within a 3 minute period. These limits are in addition to the meeting and user limits defined by your Secure Meeting license. 14. Click Save Changes. The IVE adds a Meeting link to the secure gateway home pages of the users in the specified role.

Permissive merge guidelines for Secure Meeting

If you choose to merge roles (as explained in Permissive merge guidelines on page 53), the IVE merges all options on the Users > User Roles > Select Role > Meetings > Options page to favor more accessible settings rather than more secure, except policy settings. When applying the policy settings that control the number of meetings and attendees allowed per role, Secure Meeting runs through the various roles trying to find one whose limit is not yet reached. For example, you might specify that the following roles can schedule the following number of meetings: Engineering: 25 meetings Management: 50 meetings Sales: 200 meetings

506

Defining role settings: Secure Meeting

Chapter 19: Secure Meeting

If Joe maps to all of these roles (in the order listed), and tries to schedule a meeting, Secure Meeting first checks whether the scheduled meeting limit for Engineering has been met. If it has, Secure Meeting then checks the Management meeting quota. If that limit has been met, Secure Meeting checks the limit for the Sales role. Only when the limit for all of these roles has been reached does Secure Meeting display a message to Joe telling him that the scheduled meeting limit has been reached and he cannot create a meeting. You cannot limit the number of meetings or meeting users at the realm level.

Specifying authentication servers that meeting creators can access

You can specify which authentication servers meeting creators may access and search when inviting other IVE users to meetings. When specifying servers, you can select any authentication server that you have enabled through the Authentication > Auth. Servers page of the admin console. When you enable servers for meeting creators, Secure Meeting displays the following tabs to them in the Add Invitees dialog box: LocalUsing the Local tab, the meeting creator may access and search for users from any enabled authentication server (including LDAP servers). The meeting creator may access and search all users that are managed through a local IVE authentication server in addition to all users that are managed by other types of authentication servers and cached in the IVEs memory. The meeting creator cannot view or search for users who are included in a non-IVE servers database but have not yet signed in to the IVE and created persistent data (such user bookmarks or password modifications). LDAPIf you enable an LDAP server, Secure Meeting displays the LDAP tab in the Add Invitees dialog box. The meeting creator may use this tab to access and search for all users in the enabled LDAP server(s)not just those users who are cached in the IVEs memory. When a meeting creator adds a user through the LDAP tab, Secure Meeting also uses the email attribute defined in the LDAP server to populate the invitees email address in his notification email. When adding local and LDAP users, the meeting creators ability to access and search the servers is dependent on options you specify in the Auth Servers tab of the admin console. This tab contains two options that you may use to control access to each authentication server: AccessSelect this option to allow the meeting creator to add and validate users from the corresponding authentication server. If you enable this option, Secure Meeting validates any users that the meeting creator tries to add from this server. If the meeting creator enters the name of a user that does not exist, Secure Meeting displays a warning to the creator when he finishes configuring the meeting and removes the invalid user from the list of invitees. If you disable this option, the meeting creator must use email addresses instead of IVE usernames to invite any users from this server to a meeting. Secure Meeting then treats the specified users as non-IVE invitees.

Defining role settings: Secure Meeting

507

SearchSelect this option to allow the meeting creator to search user entries in the corresponding authentication server. If you enable this option, Secure Meeting displays information about all available users who match the search criteria entered by the meeting creator. If you disable this option, the meeting creator must know the exact username and authentication server of the IVE users that he wants to invite to the meeting.
NOTE: If you enable an LDAP server, note that it must be searchable. Also note that you may use options in the Authentication > Auth. Servers > Select LDAP Server > Meetings tab to specify individual LDAP attributes that Secure Meeting should display to meeting creators when they search an LDAP database. For more information, see Specifying authentication servers that meeting creators can access on page 507.

To specify which authentication servers users may access and search when scheduling a meeting: 1. In the admin console, choose Users > User Roles. 2. Select a role. 3. If you have not already enabled Secure Meeting, in the General > Overview tab, select the Meetings checkbox and click Save Changes. 4. Choose the Meetings > Auth Servers tab. 5. In the Users Authentication Server section, indicate whether the members of this role may access and search the authentication servers that they are currently authenticated against. 6. In the Authentication Servers section, indicate additional authentication servers that members of this role may access and search. 7. Click Save Changes.

Defining resource policies: Secure Meeting

Unlike other access features, Secure Meeting has only one resource policy that applies to all roles for which this feature is enabled. When you enable the Secure Meeting access feature for a role, you need to create a single resource policy. Using this resource policy, you can: Specify session lifetime limits for meetings Enable daylight savings adjustments to scheduled meetings Specify the maximum color depth of meeting presentations Enable automatic email notifications for users who are invited to meetings scheduled through the IVE end user console

508

Defining resource policies: Secure Meeting

Chapter 19: Secure Meeting

To write a Secure Meeting resource policy: 1. In the admin console, choose Users > Resource Policies > Meetings. 2. In the Session lifetime section, specify values for: Idle TimeoutUse this field to specify the number of minutes a meeting session may remain idle before ending. Max. Session LengthUse this field to specify the number of minutes a meeting session may remain open before ending.
NOTE: The values entered here apply to the meeting session, not the IVE session. For example, you may enter lower session lifetime values in the Users > User Roles > Select Role > General > Session Options page of the admin console. If the user reaches one of the role-level values before joining a meeting, he must sign back in to the IVE in order to access the meeting through the IVE end user console. If the user reaches these role-level values after joining a meeting, however, they are not applied to the meeting. He may continue attending the meeting uninterrupted until he reaches the resource policy-level limits specified here.

3. In the Upload logs section, select Enable Upload Logs to non-IVE users to upload meeting logs.
NOTE: If you select the Upload Logs option, you must also use settings in the System > Log/Monitoring > Client Logs > Settings page of the admin console to enable client-side logging. For instructions, see Enabling client-side logs on page 679.

4. In the Email meeting notifications section, select Enabled to enable an SMTP email server. Then: In the SMTP Server field, enter the IP address or host name of an SMTP server that can route email traffic from the appliance to the meeting invitees. In the SMTP Login and SMTP Password fields, enter a valid login name and password for the specified SMTP email server (if required by the SMTP server).

Defining resource policies: Secure Meeting

509

Juniper Networks Secure Access Administration Guide

In the SMTP Email field, enter your email address or the address of another administrator. Secure Meeting uses the specified address as the senders email if the email creator does not configure his own email address on the IVE.
NOTE: If you enable an SMTP server for use with Secure Meeting, you should also define a virtual host name for your IVE appliance in the Hostname field of the System > Network > Overview tab. Secure Meeting uses the name you specify when populating notification emails with meeting URLs and when making SMTP calls. If your IVE maps to multiple names and you do not define a virtual host name, you may need to restrict which name IVE users sign in to before creating a meeting. For example, if your IVE maps to an internal name (such as sales.acmegizmo.com) that is only accessible from inside your companys firewall and another name (such as partners.acmegizmo.com) that is accessible from anywhere, IVE users should to sign in to partners.acmegizmo.com before creating meetings. Otherwise, non-IVE invitees will receive email notifications containing links to an IVE to which they cannot connect.

5. In the Options section, configure daylight savings and color-depth options: From the Observe DST rules of this country list, specify the country whose daylight savings time rules the IVE should observe. The client uses this setting as a baseline and then adjusts meeting times for individual users as necessary based on browser settings and IVE client-side DST preference settings.
NOTE: When a user signs into the IVE, Secure Meeting determines his time zone by running an ActiveX component called Timezone Grabber on his machine.

Select Enable 32-bit (True Color) Presentations to allow users to present in true color. By default, Secure Meeting presents applications to users using the same color-depth as the presenters desktop (up to 32-bit color). If you do not select this option and a user presents an application in 32-bit color, however, Secure Meeting changes the image to 16-bit to improve performance. 6. Click Save Changes. 7.

Troubleshooting Secure Meeting

If you or your end-users encounter problems with Secure Meeting and the admin console pages described above do not help you solve the problem, we recommend that you following the guidelines below. Troubleshooting methods include: Uninstall the Secure Meeting client from your systemIf you are having a problem launching Secure Meeting, click the Joining a Meeting: Troubleshooting link on the Join Meeting page, and then click Uninstall. Click Return to Join Meeting and try to launch the meeting again. The next time you try to join a meeting, Secure Meeting updates your client with the latest version. For information about where Secure Meeting installs files and which files it leaves behind after uninstallation, see the Client-side Changes Guide on the Juniper Customer Support Center. Check your systems compatibilityYou might encounter problems joining or presenting at a meeting if your system configuration is not compatible with Secure Meeting. To determine if your system is compatible, navigate to the meeting sign-in page at any time or accept the meeting invitation email and click Check Meeting Compatibility. Secure Meeting determines your compatibility level to achieve full compatibility if required. Note, however, that the Secure Meeting compatibility checker does not check all factors that can affect your meeting experience. For a comprehensive list of about the operating systems and browsers that are supported, as well as system requirements such as CPU, memory, monitor resolutions, and screen depths, see the Supported Platforms Document posted on the Juniper Networks Customer Support Center. Determine if you are using unsupported functionalitySecure Meeting does not support the sharing of streaming media applications. Secure Meeting also does not support graphic intensive applications that dynamically change the screen resolution or screen depth. Install a production-level certificate on your IVEWe recommend that you install a production-level certificate on the Secure Meeting server (i.e., the IVE) when using Secure Meeting in conjunction with an SSL certificate. If you install a self-signed SSL certificate, Secure Meeting users might encounter difficulties signing in to meetings (as described in Using multiple IVE device certificates on page 605). If you choose to use a self-signed certificate, instruct meeting attendees to install the certificate before joining the meeting. (Through Internet Explorer, users should click View Certificate and then Install Certificate when they see the error message.) Refer to the Secure Meeting Error Messages PDFThe Secure Meeting Error Messages PDF on the Juniper Networks Customer Support Center lists errors that you might encounter when configuring or using Secure Meeting and explains how to handle them.

Email Client
The email support provided by your IVE depends on the optional features licensed for your IVE: Secure Email Client optionIf you have the Secure Email Client option, the IVE supports the Internet Mail Application Protocol (IMAP4), the Post Office Protocol (POP3), and the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP). Secure Application Manager optionIf you have the Secure Application Manager option, the IVE supports the native Microsoft Exchange MAPI protocol and the native Lotus Notes protocol.
NOTE: If your IVE is licensed with the Secure Application Manager option, which supports the native Microsoft Exchange MAPI protocol and the native Lotus Notes protocol, this section does not apply.

The Secure Email Client option enables users to use standards-based email clients to access corporate email securely from remote locations without the need for any additional software, such as a VPN client. The IVE works with any mail server that supports Internet Mail Application Protocol (IMAP4), Post Office Protocol (POP3), and Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP), including the Microsoft Exchange Server and Lotus Notes Mail server, which provide IMAP4/POP3/SMTP interfaces. The IVE sits between the remote client and your mail server, serving as a secure email proxy. The remote client uses the IVE as a (virtual) mail server and sends mail using the SSL protocol. The IVE terminates SSL connections from the client and forwards the decrypted mail traffic within your LAN to your mail server. The IVE then converts unencrypted traffic from the mail server into S-IMAP (Secure IMAP), S-POP (Secure POP), and S-SMTP (Secure SMTP) traffic, respectively, and transports it over SSL to the email client. This section includes the following information about the Email Client feature: Licensing: Email Client availability on page 514 Email Client overview on page 514 Defining role settings: Email Client on page 517 Defining resource policies: Email Client on page 518

Choosing an email client

The IVE supports the following email clients: Outlook 2000 and 2002 Outlook Express 5.5 and 6.x Netscape Messenger 4.7x and Netscape Mail 6.2 Users who need remote access to email typically fall into one of two categories: Corporate laptop usersThese users use the same laptop when in the office and traveling. Home machine usersThese users use a different machine at home than their office machine. Before recommending an email client to your users, read the following sections about how the supported clients interact with: Standards-based mail servers, including the Lotus Notes Mail Server. For more information, see Working with a standards-based mail server on page 515. Microsoft Exchange Server. For more information, see Working with the Microsoft Exchange Server on page 515.
NOTE: You can find instructions for configuring each of the supported email clients on the IVE Tools and Guides page of the Juniper Networks Customer Support Center.

Licensing: Email Client availability

Chapter 20: Email Client

Working with a standards-based mail server

The IVE works with mail servers that support IMAP4, POP3, and SMTP.

IMAP mail servers

Corporate laptop users: May use any of the six supported email clients. We recommend that users use the same clientconfigured to point to the IVE both while in the office and while traveling to ensure a seamless experience. Home machine users: May use any of the six supported email clients for remote access to the IMAP server via the IVE.

POP mail servers

Corporate laptop users: May use any of the four Outlook email clients*. We recommend that users use the same clientconfigured to point to the IVE both while in the office and while traveling to ensure a seamless experience. Home machine users: May use any of the four Outlook email clients* for remote access to the POP server via the IVE. The Netscape email clients cannot be used in POP mode for remote access, because they do not support S-POP, which is required by the IVE for secure data transmission.
*

Working with the Microsoft Exchange Server

The Microsoft Exchange Server supports: Native MAPI (Messaging Application Programming Interface) clients IMAP clients POP clients Outlook Web Access (OWA) The IVE provides access to the Microsoft Exchange Server through IMAP and POP clients using the Secure Email Client option and through OWA using the secure Web browsing feature. If you want to provide access to the Microsoft Exchange Server through the native MAPI protocol, your IVE must be licensed with the Secure Application Manager option.

Exchange Server and IMAP clients

If your corporate mail server is an Exchange Server, then we presume that an employees office machine is configured to use the Outlook 2000 or 2002 email client in native MAPI mode. Corporate laptop users: May use either of the Outlook Express or Netscape clients for remote access to the Exchange Server via the IVE.1

Email Client overview

515

Juniper Networks Secure Access Administration Guide

Home machine users: May use any of the six supported email clients for remote access to the Exchange Server via the IVE, assuming no MAPI account is configured on the remote machine. When users run the Outlook Express or Netscape clients in IMAP mode, please note the following folder management behavior: When using Outlook Express mail clientsDeleted emails appear in the Outlook Express Inbox with a strike through them; they are not moved to the Deleted Items folder on the Exchange Server, which is the behavior when using the Outlook 2000 or 2002 client. When a user purges deleted emails in an Outlook Express client, the emails are gone forever. We recommend that Outlook Express users either: Manually drag emails they wish to delete to the Deleted Items folder that appears under Local Folders (these are default folders that appear). This folder syncs with the Deleted Items folder on the Exchange Server, enabling users to retrieve deleted emails later. Leave deleted emails in the Outlook Express Inbox, and then the next time they log in to their Outlook 2000 or 2002 program, move the deleted emails to the Deleted Items folder. When using Netscape mail clientsDeleted emails are moved to the Netscape Trash folder and no longer appear in the Netscape Inbox, but they do not disappear from the Outlook 2000 or 2002 Inbox unless users: a. Configure the Netscape program to move deleted messages to the Trash folder and check the option to expunge the Inbox upon exiting.

b. Run only one program at a time and exit when finished so that the other programs Inbox synchronizes with the server and displays the same messages. Also, sent emails are moved to the Netscape Sent folder (or other user-defined folder). If users wants sent messages to appear in the Microsoft Exchange Server Sent Items folder, then they need to manually drag them from the Netscape Sent folder to the Sent Items folder.

Exchange Server and POP clients

If your corporate mail server is an Exchange Server, then we presume that an employees office machine is configured to use the Outlook 2000 or 2002 email client in native MAPI mode. Corporate laptop users: May use either of the supported Outlook Express clients for remote access to the Exchange Server via the IVE.

1. The Outlook 2000 client only supports one mail server configuration, which in this case would be the native MAPI mode, thus preventing users from using the same client for remote access. The Outlook 2002 client provides support for simultaneous MAPI and IMAP server configurations but does not support IMAP access when the MAPI account is off-line, preventing remote users from retrieving email.

516

Email Client overview

Chapter 20: Email Client

Home machine users: May use any of the four Outlook clients for remote access to the Exchange Server via the IVE, assuming no MAPI account is configured on the remote machine.
NOTE: The Netscape email clients cannot be used in POP mode for remote access,

because they do not support S-POP, which is required by the IVE for secure data transmission.

Exchange Server and Outlook Web Access

To provide OWA access to your Exchange Server and enable users to access the Exchange Server through the IVE Web browsing feature, simply deploy OWA as a Web-based application on your intranet. You do not need to perform any additional setup to deploy an OWA implementation outside of your network.
NOTE: Using the IVE to access Outlook Web Access protects the Outlook Web Access IIS Web Server from standard attacks, such as Nimda, and thus is much more secure than putting Outlook Web Access directly on the Internet.\

Working with Lotus Notes and the Lotus Notes Mail Server
The Lotus Notes Mail Server provides POP3 and IMAP4 interfaces, enabling users to retrieve email from a Lotus Notes mail configuration through the IVE. To determine which email client to recommend for your corporate email users who need remote access to your Lotus mail server, please read the section about working with standards-based mail servers, Working with a standards-based mail server on page 515.

Defining resource policies: Email Client

When you enable the Email Client access feature for a role, you need to create a resource policy that specifies mail server settings. Unlike other access features, Secure Email Client has only one resource policy that applies to all roles for which this feature is enabled. If you choose to enable the email client service for users, you must specify IMAP/POP/SMTP mail server information and user authentication settings. The IVE serves as the email proxy for the specified server(s). The IVE supports multiple mail servers. You can require all users to use a default mail server or you can enable users to specify a custom SMTP and IMAP or POP mail server. If you allow users to specify a custom mail server, the user must specify the server settings through the IVE. The IVE manages email usernames to avoid name conflicts. To write an Email Client mail server resource policy: 1. Enable the Email Client feature at the role-level using instructions in Defining role settings: Email Client on page 517. 2. In the admin console, choose Users > Resource Policies > Email Client. 3. Under Email Client Support, click Enabled. 4. Under Email Authentication Mode, select an option: Web-based email sessionUsers must complete a one-time email setup for the IVE. Then, users configure their email client to use the username and password that are generated by the IVE email setup. It is recommended that users sign into the IVE to start an email session. (default) Combined IVE and mail server authenticationUsers configure their email client to use the following credentials: UsernameThe users normal mail server username or a username that is generated by the IVE email setup if one of the following are true: the user has multiple mail server usernames the username on the IVE and mail server are different PasswordThe users IVE password followed by a customizable credential separator character followed by the users mail server password.

Network Connect
The Network Connect option provides secure, SSL-based network-level remote access to all enterprise application resources using the IVE over port 443. The Network Connect access option provides a clientless VPN user experience, serving as an additional remote access mechanism to corporate resources using an IVE appliance. This feature supports all Internet-access modes, including dial-up, broadband, and LAN scenarios, from the client machine and works through clientside proxies and firewalls that allow SSL traffic. When a user launches Network Connect, Network Connect transmits all traffic to and from the client over the secure Network Connect tunnel. (See Figure 40 on page 522.) The only exception is for traffic initiated by other IVE-enabled features, such as Web browsing, file browsing, and telnet/SSH. If you do not want to enable other IVE features for certain users, create a user role for which only the Network Connect option is enabled and make sure that users mapped to this role are not also mapped to other roles that enable other IVE features. When Network Connect runs, the clients machine effectively becomes a node on the remote (corporate) LAN and becomes invisible on the users local LAN; the IVE appliance serves as the Domain Name Service (DNS) gateway for the client and knows nothing about the users local LAN. Users may define static routes on their PCs, however, to continue to access the local LAN while simultaneously connecting to the remote LAN. Since PC traffic goes through the Network Connect tunnel to your internal corporate resources, make sure that other hosts within a users local network cannot connect to the PC running Network Connect.

521

Juniper Networks Secure Access Administration Guide

You can ensure that other hosts in a remote users LAN cannot reach internal corporate resources by denying the user access to the local subnet (configured on the Users > User Roles > Select Role > Network Connect tab). If you do not allow access to a local subnet, then an IVE appliance terminates Network Connect sessions initiated by clients on which static routes are defined. You may also require clients to run endpoint security solutions, such as a personal firewall, before launching a network-level remote access session. Host Checker, which performs endpoint security checks on hosts that connect to an IVE appliance, can verify that clients use endpoint security software. See Host Checker on page 223 for more information.
NOTE: A Hosts file entry is added by Network Connect to support the following

case: If, when NC connects, split tunneling is disabled and the original externally resolved hostname (the hostname the user initially connected to prior to the NC launch) resolves to another IP address against the internal DNS, the browser will redirect to a Server not found page, because no route is defined within the client system. At a graceful termination (sign-out or timeout) of the NC client connection, the Hosts file is restored. If the Hosts file was not restored in a prior case due to an ungraceful termination, the Hosts file will be restored the next time the user launches Network Connect. Figure 40 illustrates the general steps involved in establishing a Network Connect tunnel.

4. Specify an IP address for the Network Connect server-side process to use for all Network Connect user sessions on the System > Network > Network Connect page in the admin console. For details, see Provisioning your network for Network Connect on page 531. 5. Ensure that an appropriate version of Network Connect is available to remote clients following the instructions on the Downloading application installers on page 577. 6. (Optional) Specify whether or not the IVE compiles Network Connect packet logs for specific Network Connect users in the System > Log/Monitoring > NC Packet page on the admin console. For instructions, see Configuring events, user access, admin access, IDP sensor, and NC packet logs on page 668. 7. If you want to enable or disable client-side logging for Network Connect, configure the appropriate options in the System > Configuration > Security > Client-side Logs tab of the admin console. For instructions, see Enabling client-side logs on page 679.
NOTE: To install Network Connect, users must have appropriate privileges, as described in the Client-side Changes Guide on the Juniper Customer Support Center. If the user does not have these privileges, use the Juniper Installer Service available from the Maintenance > System > Installers page of the admin console to bypass this requirement.

NOTE: Network Connect requires signed ActiveX or signed Java applets to be enabled within the browser to download, install, and launch the client applications.

Network Connect execution

The Network Connect agent executes as follows: 1. If Graphical Identification and Authorization (GINA) is installed and registered on the remote client, the client automatically initiates a Network Connect tunnel to the IVE when the user signs into Windows; otherwise, the user needs to sign into an IVE appliance and click on the Network Connect link on the IVE appliance end-user home page (if you have not configured Network Connect to launch automatically). For more information, see Automatically signing into Network Connect using GINA on page 527. 2. If the user does not have the latest version of the Network Connect installer, the IVE appliance attempts to download an ActiveX control (Windows) or a Java applet (Macintosh and Linux) to the client machine that then downloads the Network Connect software and performs installation functions. If the IVE appliance fails to download or upgrade the ActiveX control to a Windows client due to restricted access privileges or browser restrictions, the IVE appliance uses a Java applet to deliver the Network Connect software to the client.
NOTE: If Microsoft Vista is running on the users system, the user must click the setup link that appears during the installation process to continue installing the setup client and Network Connect. On all other Microsoft operating systems, the setup client and Network Connect install automatically.

For information on removing the Juniper ActiveX control, see Removing the Juniper ActiveX Control on page 265. Whether the IVE downloads an ActiveX control or a Java applet, both components attempt to identify the presence and version of existing Network Connect software on the client before determining which of the following installation functions to perform: a. If the client machine has no Network Connect software, install the latest version.

Network Connect overview

525

Juniper Networks Secure Access Administration Guide

b. If the client machine has an earlier version of Network Connect software, uninstall the older version and install the most current version from the IVE.
NOTE: For information about valid Java applets, installation files and logs, and the

operating system directories in which delivery mechanisms run, see the Clientside Changes Guide on the Juniper Networks Customer Support Center. 3. Once installed, the Network Connect agent sends a request to the IVE appliance to initialize the connection with an IP address from the preprovisioned IP pool (as defined by the Network Connect Connection Profiles resource policies applicable to the users role). 4. The Network Connect system tray icon starts running in the taskbar on a Windows client or in the Dock on a Mac client. 5. The IVE appliance allocates an IP address (from a Network Connect Connection Profiles resource policy) and assigns a unique IP to the Network Connect service running on the client. 6. The client-side Network Connect service uses the assigned IP address to communicate with the Network Connect process running on the IVE appliance. 7. After the IVE allocates an IP address to the client, the IVE opens a direct channel of communication between the client and all enterprise resources to which the users resource policy allows access. The internal application server sees the source IP as the clients IP address.
Figure 41: Network Connect client/server communication

The client-side Network Connect agent communicates with the IVE appliance, which, in turn, forwards client requests to enterprise resources.
NOTE: If you use Host Checker to validate the presence of client-side security components based on policies you define on the IVE and the client cannot conform to the security policies at any point during a Network Connect session, Host Checker terminates the session.

Automatically signing into Network Connect using GINA

The Graphical Identification and Authorization (GINA) sign-in function is an automated sign-in method you can install and enable on Windows clients signing in to a Windows NT domain. You can require Network Connect to install GINA on the client machine, or you can allow users to decide whether or not to install GINA when they launch Network Connect.
NOTE: You cannot install more than one GINA automatic sign-in function on a clients system. If another application on the clients system uses a GINA function, Network Connect cannot install and activate the GINA component.

If GINA is installed on the client, it automatically prompts the user to choose whether or not to launch Network Connect each time he/she signs in to Windows. If you choose to make GINA installation optional, the user can activate GINA using the Auto connect when login to Windows option in the Network Connect window. This option is only available during an open Network Connect session. The option to enable GINA installation on client systems is available when you define role attributes in the Users > User Roles > Role > Network Connect page. For details, see Task Summary: Configuring Network Connect on page 523. Figure 42 illustrates the general steps involved in the GINA installation process.

The GINA installation process takes place one time and requires the user to perform a system reboot in order to enable GINA sign-in capability. From that session forward, GINA prompts the user to decide whether or not to launch Network Connect at each Windows sign-in. When the user signs in to Network connect, unless otherwise specified, GINA passes the users Windows sign-in credentials to the IVE for authentication before establishing the Network Connect tunnel.

Using GINA Chaining

Network Connect supports GINA chaining. GINA chaining means that one GinaDLL calls another GinaDLL. By default, enabling NC GINA also enables NC GINA chaining. The Network Connect client detects any currently installed GINA component on top of the existing GINA chain. If the GINA component is compatible, NC GINA is placed in front of the current GINA components. Currently, Network Connect supports the following GINA components: Cisco VPN client (CSGina.dll) Microsoft GINA (msgina.dll) Nortel Networks VPN client (nngina.dll) RSA SecurID (AceGina.dll) Novell GINA (NWGINA.dll) If an installed GINA component is not supported (that is, not in the above list), a warning message appears and the NC GINA is not installed.

528

Network Connect overview

Chapter 21: Network Connect

If you uninstall a GINA component after Network Connect adds its information to the GINA chain, the NC GINA removes the saved GINA information and does not call the removed GINA component the next time it goes through GINA chaining.
NOTE: If the NC GINA is installed at the top of the GINA chain (meaning, it is the

last one installed), the NC GINA is uninstalled when you uninstall the Network Connect client. However, if the NC GINA is in the middle of the chain, you must remove all GINAs higher in the chain than the Network Connect GINA prior to removing the NC GINA.

Launching Network Connect during a Windows Secure Application Manager session

Users can launch Network Connect while signed in to the IVE via Windows Secure Application Manager (WSAM). When a user launches Network Connect in this scenario, however, the Network Connect installer automatically terminates the WSAM session prior to launching Network Connect. During the process, the user is prompted with a warning message informing them that they are about to terminate their WSAM session in favor of launching Network Connect. We recommend that you configure users Network Connect resource policies to feature as much access to network resources as they would have in their WSAM sessions. This way, when users choose to launch Network Connect (simultaneously terminating WSAM) they will sill be able to access the same network resources.
NOTE: If users choose not to launch Network Connect, the Network Connect installer still automatically installs the client application on their computer, but does not launch Network Connect. After the client application has been installed, users can choose uninstall it manually via their secure gateway home page or the folder options available in the Windows Start menu.

Logging In To Windows Through a Secure Tunnel

Use the Logoff On Connect feature for users to log in to their Windows environment through an existing Network Connect secure tunnel. This feature lets them authenticate against a Windows Domain server in real time, as opposed to authenticating with the locally cached credentials. When this feature is enabled, they are automatically logged off Windows after the Network Connect session starts. The standard Windows login screen re-appears and they log in using their Windows credentials. Their Windows environment is now established through the Network Connect tunnel.
NOTE: Users must log in to Windows within 5 minutes of the login screen reappearing or before the Host Checker policy evaluate period ends, whichever is shorter. If they do not, their Network Connect connection may time out and they will not be logged in to Windows through a secure tunnel. An error appears if the Network Connect connection times out.

You

To use the Logoff On Connect feature:

Network Connect overview

Juniper Networks Secure Access Administration Guide

1. Users log on to their local machine using their domain cached credentials. Their machine must be part of a Windows domain. 2. Users launch Network Connect and click Tools from the Network Connect login page. 3. Select the Logoff on Connect option and click OK. 4. Users enter their username and password credentials in the Network Connect login page. Network Connect establishes a tunnel and logs them off of their local machine. The Windows login page appears. 5. Users enter their username and password credentials to sign-in to their Windows Domain using the Network Connect tunnel.

Network Connect Connection Profiles with support for multiple DNS settings
To ensure remote users are able to perform DNS searches as efficiently or as securely as possible, you can configure the IVE to allow multiple DNS settings during Network Connect sessions, based on a users role membership. When the IVE launches a users Network Connect session, the IVE uses a matching profile based on the users role membership containing IP address, DNS, and WINS settings. If you enable split-tunneling, the DNS search order setting allows you to define which DNS setting takes precedencefor example, search for a DNS server on the clients LAN before the IVEs DNS server, or vice-versa. Network Connect makes a backup of the clients DNS settings/search order preference before establishing a Network Connect connection. After the session terminates, Network Connect restores the client to the original DNS settings. If you disable split-tunneling, all DNS requests go to the IVEs DNS server and your setting for the DNS search order preference does not apply.
NOTE: After stopping and restarting a DNS client, the client may not pick up the search order of multiple DNS addresses in a timely manner, resulting in an incorrect lookup order when launching Network Connect. The rules governing DNS name resolution and failover are complex and often specific to the particular client operating system. You or the end-user can attempt to run the ipconfig /registerdns commands from a command window on the client machine. This may reset the search order to the correct order. To understand the search resolution order for DNS servers, refer to the appropriate Microsoft DNS documentation for your operating system platform.

530

Network Connect overview

Chapter 21: Network Connect

When employing a multi-site cluster of IVEs, the IP pool and DNS settings may be unique to each IVE residing at a different site. For this reason, the IVE allows the Network Connect Connection Profile policy to be node-specific. That is, the resource policy enables the client to connect to the same IVE in the cluster each time a new session is established.
NOTE: If you run Network Connect on a system with an IVS license, see Configuring DNS for the IVS on page 774 and Configuring Network Connect for use on a virtualized IVE on page 777.

Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes

If you want to install Network Connect on a client featuring an incompatible VPN client application, you must uninstall the incompatible application before you install or launch Network Connect on the client.

Linux client requirements

Linux clients signing in to Network Connect via Mozilla Firefox version 1.6 must ensure that the OpenSSL libraries are installed on the client. Most Linux versions come pre-packaged with OpenSSL. If you encounter a Linux user that does not have the required OpenSSL libraries, you can direct them to the following resource where they can be obtained and installed for free: See http://www.openssl.org/related/binaries.html for details. (You can also advise users to compile their own version by directing them to the source at http://www.openssl.org/source/.) The required version is libssl.so.0.9.6b.

Network Connect overview

531

Juniper Networks Secure Access Administration Guide

Client-side logging
Network Connect client-side logs are files that reside on the remote client containing sign-in, debug, and other statistical information you can use to troubleshoot potential issues with Network Connect. When you enable client-side logging for Network Connect users, the client records Network Connect events in a series of log files, continually appending entries each time a feature is invoked during subsequent user sessions. The resulting log files are useful when working with the support team to debug problems with Network Connect. For more information, see Enabling client-side logs on page 679.
NOTE: If Network Connect users turn client-side logging off, (even if logging is enabled on the IVE) the client does not record any new client-side log information. If the user turns on the logging function and the IVE is then configured to disable client-side logging, the client does not record any new client-side log information.

Network Connect proxy support

Network Connect provides support for remote clients using a proxy server to access the Internet (and the IVE via the Internet), as well as clients who do not need a proxy to access the Internet, but who access resources on an internal network through a proxy. Network Connect also provides support for clients accessing a Proxy Automatic Configuration (PAC) file that specifies client and IVE proxy settings enabling access to Web applications.
NOTE: The Network Connect client does not support the use of the MS Winsock proxy client. Please disable the MS Winsock proxy client before running the Network Connect client. For more information, see http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/using/mobility/expert/vpns.mspx.

To address these varying methods of proxy implementation, Network Connect temporarily changes the proxy settings of the browser so that only traffic intended for the Network Connect session uses the temporary proxy settings. All traffic not intended for the Network Connect session uses the existing proxy settings.
NOTE: The Network Connect client does not support the option to automatically detect proxy settings. You must choose to use either an automatic configuration script (PAC) or specify a proxy server. You cannot use both a proxy server and an automatic configuration script, together. You can define one or the other at Users > Resource Policies > Network Connect > NC Connection Profiles > Select Profile > Proxy.

Whether split-tunneling is enabled or disabled, the IVE supports the following proxy scenarios: Using an explicit proxy to access the IVE Using an explicit proxy to access internal Web applications Using a PAC file to access the IVE Using a PAC file to access internal Web applications
532
Network Connect overview

Chapter 21: Network Connect

When split-tunneling is enabled on the IVE, Network Connect manages proxy settings in one of the following ways, depending on the method with which the proxy is implemented: For remote clients using a proxy server to access the Internet, all HTTP requests generated by the browser and intended for the IVE (including NCP transport traffic) go through either an explicit proxy or a PAC file accessed by the remote client. Because the presence of an explicit proxy or access to a PAC file is already provisioned on the client-side, the client sets up the local, temporary proxy before attempting to establish a Network Connect session. For remote clients using a proxy to access corporate resources on a corporate network, yet still able to connect directly to the Internet without a proxy, Network Connect identifies the proxy settings on the client even though the proxy server is not reachable until Network Connect establishes a connection. Once Network Connect establishes a connection, it then creates the local, temporary proxy. When a remote client accesses a pre-configured HTTP-based PAC file, the client cannot access the PAC file until after Network Connect establishes a session connection. After Network Connect establishes a connection, the client accesses the PAC file, includes the PAC file contents in the local, temporary proxy, and then refreshes the browser proxy setting.

Network Connect Quality of Service

To support Quality of Service (QoS) on your internal network via Network Connect, the IVE translates the inner IP packet header (for Application-layer packet encapsulation, for example) to the outer packet header, thus enabling Network layer-level packet prioritization. Routers in the network are then able to identify, prioritize, and appropriately forward Network Connect IPSec packets across the network. This feature helps ensure that you are able to support time-sensitive IP packet transmission and reception like IP video streams, for example.
NOTE: Network Connect QoS applies to UDP (IPSec) packets only. SSL packet encapsulation and forwarding behavior remains unchanged when you employ the Network Connect QoS feature.

Network Connect Multicast Support

To enable streaming IP video broadcasts over the internal network, Network Connect features Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) gateway multicast proxy support.
NOTE: If you are using NC multicast support, and you are using L2 switches, make sure the switches support IGMP v3.

Network Connect overview

533

Juniper Networks Secure Access Administration Guide

When users initiate a request to join a multicast group, the IVE initiates an IGMP join message to the local multicast router or switch on the clients behalf. In addition, the IVE stores the IGMP group request queries in its cache so that whenever a multicast router in the network polls the IVE for IGMP group information, the IVE responds with its current collection of multicast user and group requests. If a router or switch does not receive a response from the IVE, the multicast group information for the IVE is removed from the router or switchs forwarding table.
NOTE: Network Connect supports streaming media at up to 2 MB per second on a single tunnel.

Defining role settings: Network Connect

Use role-level settings to specify split-tunneling, auto-launch, auto-uninstall, and Graphical Identification and Authentication (GINA) options. For more information on GINA, see Automatically signing into Network Connect using GINA on page 527. To specify Network Connect split-tunneling, auto-launch, auto-uninstall, and GINA installation options: 1. In the admin console, choose Users > User Roles > Role > Network Connect. 2. Under Split Tunneling Options, select one of the following options: Disable Split TunnelingAll network traffic from the client goes through the Network Connect tunnel. When Network Connect successfully establishes a connection to the IVE, the IVE removes any predefined local subnet and host-to-host routes that might cause split-tunneling behavior. If any changes are made to the local route table during an active Network Connect session, the IVE terminates the session. Allow access to local subnetThe IVE preserves the local subnet route on the client, retaining access to local resources such as printers. The local route table may be modified during the Network Connect session. Enable Split TunnelingThis option activates split-tunneling and requires you to specify the network IP address/netmask combinations for which the IVE handles traffic passed between the remote client and the corporate intranet according to the instructions in Defining Network Connect split tunneling policies on page 544. When split-tunneling is used, Network Connect modifies routes on clients so that traffic meant for the corporate intranet networks to Network Connect and all other traffic goes through the local physical adapter. The IVE tries to resolve all DNS requests through the physical adapter first and then routes those that fail to the Network Connect adapter.

Enable Split Tunneling with route change monitorOnce a Network Connect session starts, changes to the local route table terminate the session. This option retains access to local resources such as printers. 3. Under Auto Launch Options, specify whether or not Network Connect automatically launches when an authenticated user maps to one or more roles that enable Network Connect sessions. 4. Under Auto Uninstall Options, specify whether or not Network Connect uninstalls itself from the remote client when a user signs-out of the Network Connect session. 5. Under TOS Options, specify whether or not you want to enable the IP TOS bitcopying quality of service (QoS) feature by activating or deactivating this option. When this option is enabled, Network Connect copies IP TOS bits from inner IP packet header to outer IP packet header.
NOTE:

Enabling this option may require the user to reboot their computer when Network Connect is installed for the first time on a Windows OS. If you enable this option on the IVE, ensure that you have disabled the Repeat Protection option, as described in Creating Network Connect connection profiles on page 539. 6. Under Multicast Option, specify whether or not you want Network Connect to operate in multicast mode. 7. Under GINA Options, specify whether or not to enable GINA installation for a role and specify the GINA sign-in behavior by selecting one of the following options: Require NC to start when logging into WindowsAfter GINA is installed, this option automatically launches the Network Connect sign-in function at every Windows user sign-in. Allow user to decide whether to start NC when logging into Windows After GINA is installed, this option allows the user to determine, at each Windows startup, whether or not to launch Network Connect after GINA installation.

NOTE: You must enable Network Connect for a given role if you want a user mapped to that role to be able to use GINA during Windows logon.

8. Under Session Scripts, specify the following: a. The location of Network Connect start and end scripts for Windows, Macintosh, and/or Linux clients. If you do not specify any start or end scripts, Network Connect does not execute any scripts to start or end the session.

Defining role settings: Network Connect

535

Juniper Networks Secure Access Administration Guide

When Network Connect launches, start and end scripts are copied to the client and, upon session termination, are removed from the client. Scripts can be accessed locally or remotely via file share or other permanentlyavailable local network resource.
NOTE:

The client should be a member of the same domain as the remote server to allow NC to copy start and end scripts. If the client credentials are unknown to the server, the script copy fails, and NC does not prompt the user to enter username and password. Windows only supports scripts with the .bat, .cmd, or .exe extension. To run a .vbs script, the user must have a batch file to call the .vbs script. The Network Connect client makes a copy of the end script after the tunnel has been set up and stores the script in a temporary directory to ensure that, if the network connection were to fail, the end script can still be used to terminate the Network Connect session. b. Turn on the Skip if GINA enabled option to bypass the specified Windows session start script. If the client signs in to their Windows Domain via the GINA automatic signin function, a script is executed by the Windows client. In this case, the sign-in script may be identical to the specified Network Connect start script. You can use this option, therefore, as a way to avoid executing the same script twice. 9. Click Save Changes.

Defining resource policies: Network Connect

Network Connect resource policies specify a variety of Network Connect session parameters you can use to determine the method of access for remote clients. You can configure the following types of resource policies on the IVE and apply them to one or more user roles: Access resource policiesThis policy type specifies which resources users may access when using Network Connect, such as Web, file, and server machines on the corporate intranet. For more information, see Defining Network Connect access control policies on page 537. Packet logging resource policiesThis policy type allows you to compile client-side Network Connect packet logs on the IVE to help diagnose and resolve connection issues.

Creating Network Connect connection profiles

Use the Network Connect Connection Profiles tab to create a Network Connect resource profile. When an IVE receives a client request to start a Network Connect session, the IVE assigns an IP address to the client-side Network Connect agent. The IVE assigns this IP address based on the IP Address Pool policies that apply to a users role. In addition, this feature allows you to specify the transport protocol, encryption method, and whether or not to employ data compression for the Network Connect session. Nodes in a multi-site cluster share configuration information, which means that IVEs in different networks share an IP address pool. Since any IVE node may receive the client request to start the Network Connect session, you need to specify an IP filter for that node that filters out only those network addresses available to that node. When the cluster node receives a request to create a Network Connect session, it assigns the IP address for the session from the filtered IP address pool. To write a Network Connect connection profile: 1. In the admin console, choose Users > Resource Policies > Network Connect > NC Connection Profiles. 2. On the Network Connect Connection Profiles page, click New Profile. 3. On the New Profile page, enter the following information: a. A name to label this policy.

b. A description of the policy (optional). 4. In the IP address assignment section, specify the method of client-side IP address assignment by choosing one of the following: DHCP serverThis option allows you to specify the host name or IP address of a network Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server responsible for handling client-side IP address assignment. IP address poolThis option allows you to specify IP addresses or a range of IP addresses for the IVE to assign to clients that run the Network Connect service. Use the canonical format: ip_range

Defining resource policies: Network Connect

539

Juniper Networks Secure Access Administration Guide

The ip_range can be specified as a.b.c.d-e where the last component of the IP address is a range delimited by a hyphen (-). No special characters are allowed. For example: 10.10.10.1-100.
NOTE: We recommend that you set up your network so that the Network Connect client-side IP address pool, or the DHCP server specified in the Network Connect connection profile, resides on the same subnet as the IVE.

If your network topology dictates that the IVE internal IP interface and the IP address pool or DHCP server reside on different subnets, you need to add static routes to your intranets gateway router(s) to ensure that your Enterprise resources and the IVE can see each other on the internal network.

NOTE:

If you are running a multi-unit cluster across a LAN or WAN, make sure that the IP address pool contains addresses that are valid for each node in the cluster. Then, configure an IP filter for each node to apply to this IP address pool. The IVE does not support a common IP address pool for Network Connect for an Active/Active cluster. In A/A NC deployments, we recommend that you split the NC IP pool into node-specific subpools. Furthermore, you are advised to perform static route configuration on the backend router infrastructure in a coordinated fashion, with static routes to each subpool pointing to the internal IP address of the hosting cluster node as the next-hop gateway.

You can further customize the date transfer parameters by defining the UDP port, ESP-to-NCP fallback time-out value, and ESP encryption key lifetime values. oNCP/NCP (maximize compatibility)Select this option to use the standard oNCP/NCP transport method for this connection profile. For background information on oNCP and NCP and options for NCP usage on the IVE, refer to Configuring licensing, security, and NCP on page 580.
NOTE: The oNCP transport protocol offers increased flexibility over NCP because it

accommodates Macintosh and Linux clients. (The traditional NCP transport protocol functions in an exclusively Windows client environment.) If you disable the oNCP/NCP auto-selection feature on the System > Configuration > NCP page of the admin console and a UDP-to-oNCP/NCP fail-over occurs, the IVE disconnects Macintosh and Linux clients because the IVE fails over from UDP to NCP (instead of oNCP), which does not support these users. b. If you want to accept the IVEs default values for the ESP transport method, proceed to the next step. Otherwise, you can also provide the following values: UDP portProvide the IVE port through which you intend to direct UDP connection traffic. The default port number is 4500.
NOTE: Whether you specify a custom port number or choose to use the default port number (4500) configured on the IVE, you must also ensure that other devices along the encrypted tunnel allow UDP traffic to pass between the IVE and Network Connect clients. For example, if you employ an edge router and a firewall between the Internet and your corporate intranet, you must ensure that port 4500 is enabled on both the router and the firewall and that port 4500 is configured to pass UDP traffic.

ESP to NCP fallback timeoutProvide a period of time (in seconds) the IVE will wait before it will automatically establish a standard oNCP/NCP connection following UDP connection failure. The default time period is 15 seconds.

Defining resource policies: Network Connect

541

Juniper Networks Secure Access Administration Guide

Key lifetimeProvide the period of time (in minutes) the IVE continues to employ the same ESP encryption key for this connection profile. Both the local and remote sides of the encrypted transmission tunnel use the same encryption key only for a limited period of time to help prevent unauthorized access. The default time period is 20 minutes.
NOTE: Frequently changing the encryption key can increase CPU overhead on the

IVE. Replay ProtectionEnable this option to activate replay protection on the IVE. When enabled, this option helps protect against hostile repeat attacks from the network. When packets arrive from the client, the IVE checks the IP header information to verify that a packet featuring the same IP header information has not already been received. If one has been received, the packet is rejected. This option is enabled on Network Connect resource policies by default. If you activate the Enable TOS Bits Copy option, as described in Task Summary: Configuring Network Connect on page 523, IP packets with different TOS bits may be reordered when passing through gateway routers on your network. To ensure that any packets received out of order are not automatically dropped when they reach the IVE, you can disable the Replay Protection option for this resource policy.
NOTE: We recommend that you leave replay protection enabled if you are not

expecting more than one source of packets from the client (e.g. if only one application is transmitting and receiving traffic over the Network Connect tunnel). c. Specify the encryption method by choosing one of the following: AES/SHA1 (maximize security)This option instructs the IVE to employ Advanced Encryption Standard (AES)1 encryption on the data channel and the SHA12 authentication method during Network Connect sessions. AES/MD5 (maximize performance)This option instructs the IVE to employ AES1 encryption on the data channel and the MD53 authentication method for Network Connect sessions. d. Specify whether or not to employ compression for the secure connection.

1. The AES encryption method protects IP packets by encoding them with a cryptographic algorithm featuring a 128-bit encryption key. 2. The SHA1 authentication method is easy to use and efficient when encoding user ID and password information. The SHA1 algorithm translates the characters comprising a user ID or password string into unreadable text before it is transmitted to or from the IVE. The same algorithm is then used to reverse the translation before it is presented to the authentication server. 3. The MD5 authentication algorithm creates digital signatures. The MD5 authentication method translates an input string (like a users ID or sign-in password, for example) into a fixed- 128-bit fingerprint (also called a message digest) before it is transmitted to or from the IVE.

NOTE: If you are running Network Connect on a system with an IVS license, see Configuring Network Connect for use on a virtualized IVE on page 777.

Defining Network Connect split tunneling policies

Use the Network Connect Split Tunneling tab to write a Network Connect resource policy that specifies one or more network IP address/netmask combinations for which the IVE handles traffic passed between the remote client and the corporate intranet. When split-tunneling is used, Network Connect modifies routes on clients so that traffic meant for the corporate intranet networks to Network Connect and all other traffic goes through the local physical adapter. The IVE tries to resolve all DNS requests through the physical adapter first and then routes those that fail to the Network Connect adapter. To write a Network Connect split-tunneling networks resource policy: 1. In the admin console, choose Users > Resource Policies > Network Connect > Network Connect Split Tunneling. 2. On the Network Connect Network Connect Split Tunneling page, click New Policy. 3. On the New Policy page, enter: a. A name to label this policy.

Use case: Network Connect resource policy configuration

This section describes a real-world Network Connect application and the steps necessary to configure the appropriate resource policy providing access to remote users on the network. Large financial institutions (also called Fortune Companies) require a robust client sign-in application like Network Connect to help provide remote employees seamless network connection to a large range of enterprise resources at the corporate headquarters. Often, remote users need to be able to access multiple applications on their laptops/client machines beyond simple Email or meeting scheduling applications. These remote super users or power users require secure, encrypted access to powerful server applications like Microsoft OutlookTM, OracleTM databases, and the RemedyTM case management system. For this scenario, lets assume the following: There is a small collection of remote users who will all access their financial institutions enterprise resources via the same IVE All the users have the same user_role_remote role assigned to their user ID Host Checker and Cache Cleaner are configured and verifying the users machines upon logging into the IVE and launching their Network Connect sessions All users require access to three large servers at the corporate headquarters with the following attributes: outlook.acme.com at IP address 10.2.3.201 oracle.financial.acme.com at IP address 10.2.3.202 case.remedy.acme.com at IP address 10.2.3.99 Because the Company wants to manage their IP address pool very strictly, each IVE provides IP addresses to remote users (our particular IVE controls the IP addresses between 10.2.3.128 and 10.2.3.192) The company is interested in the most secure access possible, simultaneously accepting only the least possible amount of client down-time To configure a Network Connect resource policy providing appropriate access to the Fortune Company remote users: 1. Create a new Network Connect resource policy where you specify the three servers to which you want to grant remote users access following the instructions described in Defining Network Connect access control policies on page 537:

Specifying IP filters
You can specify IP filters for the IVE to apply to Network Connect IP pools from the System > Network > Network Connect tab in the admin console. An IP pool is a specific range of IP addresses available for Network Connect requests, (as explained in Network Connect on page 521).

Specifying IP filters to apply to Network Connect IP pools

To add an IP address to the Network Connect filter list: 1. In the admin console, choose System > Network > Network Connect.

2. Specify an IP address/netmask combination and then click Add. The IVE applies the filters specified on this page to the Network Connect IP Pool resource policies that apply to a users request.

Specifying the Network Connect Server IP Address

The server-side Network Connect process uses the server IP address to communicate with enterprise resources. Although the IVE pre-populates this field, you can change the address to one of your choosing so long as it is not a part of a IP address pool specified as a part of a NC Connection Profile (see Network Connect Connection Profiles with support for multiple DNS settings on page 530).

Network Connect Installation Process Dependencies

During installation, Network Connect interacts with a number of system components, performing checks and validations along the way. The following list provides the order of execution during installation, which may be helpful if you need to debug a Network Connect installation process. For information about the un-installation process, see Network Connect Un-installation Process Dependencies on page 551. 1. Start Pre-Installation Process: a. Parse command line arguments.

b. Set appropriate variables via command line. c. Process commands, as necessary.

d. If the command line entry responds with help or version information, the Network Connect installation program quits, following the command line processing. Typically occurs when you run the Network Connect installer as a standalone installer. 2. Validate System: a. Check OS. Network Connect support for Windows 98, Windows 2K, and Windows XP only. If OS is 95, ME or NT 4.0, display error and abort validation process.

b. Check Administrator privileges. c. 3rd-party GINA component if GINA is to be registered, check whether there is any existing registered GINA component. If yes, abort installation.

3. If there is an existing Network Connect installation, trigger the uninstall in upgrade mode of the existing Network Connect. The un-installation process is described in Network Connect Un-installation Process Dependencies on page 551. 4. Wait until the existing Network Connect un-installation process completes (in upgrade mode). 5. If the un-installation process times-out, display error message and abort the Network Connect installation, otherwise, continue the Network Connect installation. 6. Write logging registry keys for Network Connect components. 7. Start Network Connect installation. 8. Shared component installation: a. Check sharedDll registry value of the shared components to see if this is the first instance of shared component installation.

b. Check if Neo_CleanInst flag is set.

c.

If steps a or b are true, ensure the sharedDll registry value is clean.

d. Stop service if still running. e. Check installation and driver i. ii. If driver is installed and it is a clean installation, uninstall the driver. If driver is installed and it is not a clean installation, compare driver versions.

iii. If it is an upgrade, set the driver install flag, otherwise, do not install the driver (keep the current higher version driver). 9. Network Connect component installation: a. If the driver install flag is set or if it is a clean install, install the driver.

b. Call the shared component installation macro for the Network Connect service and GINA component. This macro performs a version comparison, ensures a proper upgrade, and increments the sharedDll registry key value. c. Copy other Network Connect binary files.

d. Call the NCCopyFile macro for the files that might be locked by msGINA. This macro takes care of renaming old files and mark them delete on reboot. e. Register GINA if GINA flag is set.

10. Save locale and GINA settings in users config.ini file. 11. Start the NCService. 12. Create program shortcut. 13. Create Uninstall registry keys. 14. Start Network Connect user interface. 15.

Network Connect Un-installation Process Dependencies

During un-installation, Network Connect interacts with a number of system components, performing checks and validations along the way. The following list provides the order of execution during un-installation, which may be helpful if you need to debug a Network Connect un-installation process. For information about the installation process, see Network Connect Installation Process Dependencies on page 549. 1. Start Pre-Uninstall Process: a. Parse command line inputs, including: i. ii. Locale Clean uninstall flag

iii. Upgrade flag 2. Start uninstall operation. 3. Check Administrator privileges. 4. Un-register GINA if already registered. 5. If un-installing in upgrade mode, stop the Network Connect service. 6. If the un-installation is not in upgrade mode, check the current sharedDll registry key value. If the value is 1, this is the only instance using the shared components, so: a. Uninstall the driver.

b. Delete the driver file. c. Stop and un-register the Network Connect service.

7. Call the shared components macro to uninstall shared components. This macro decrements the SharedDLL registry key value and removes the source file.

NOTE: If the uninstall process is in upgrade mode, this step is not executed because the uninstall is triggered from a Network Connect installation process and the shared component macro in the installation process will handle the shared component upgrade operations.

8. Delete other Network Connect files, including: a. dsNcAdmin.dll

b. dsNcDiag.dll c. versioninfo.ini

Using the Network Connect Launcher (NC Launcher)

The Network Connect Launcher is a client-side command-line utility that maintains a very small footprint. You can bundle NC Launcher with other applications that need an operational Network Connect client. Bundling the NC Launcher with other applications allows you to be confident that the end-user can access these applications without difficulty. The NC Launcher allows you to initiate an NC session with a script, batch file, service, or a call from an application, without using a graphical user interface.
NOTE: The NC Launcher does not support the role mapping option Users must select from assigned Roles when more than one role is assigned to a user. If you use NC Launcher and more than one role can be assigned to a user, you must choose to either Merge settings for all assigned roles or you must choose the option that forces the User to select the sets of merged roles assigned by each rule.

To use the NC Launcher: 1. Write a script, batch file, service or application to call the NC Launcher. 2. Include a call to the NC Launcher executable. The NC Launcher command syntax follows:
nclauncher.exe [-version|-help|-stop] -user <user> -pass <password> -url <url> realm <realm>

Table 40: Network Connect Launcher Command Syntax Argument

-version -help -user <username> -pass <password> -url <IVE URL>

Action
Displays the NC Launcher version information, then exits. Displays available arguments information. Specifies the username. Specifies the password for authentication. Specifies the IVE URL information.

Chapter 21: Network Connect

Table 40: Network Connect Launcher Command Syntax Argument

-realm <realm> -stop

Action
Specifies the realm to which the IVE submits the users credentials. Terminates NC tunnel, and sign out current user.

For example, you might distribute a simple login application to your end-users. The application might capture the end-user's username and password, the IVE resource they are trying to reach, and the realm to which they are assigned.

In this example, you need to write a script or add logic to your application to capture the credentials the end-user enters, and pass the credentials as the arguments to the nclauncher.exe, as follows:
nclauncher.exe -user JDoe -pass my$Pass84 -url https://intcompany.portal.com/usr -realm User NOTE: If you are using Windows Vista, open the command window as an administrator user. Standard output from the nclauncher.exe does not display if the command window is opened by a user without administrator privileges.

Troubleshooting Network Connect errors

Your end-users may be unable to resolve some of the errors they might encounter, without your intervention. The following topics may correspond to errors listed in the end-user help.

nc.windows.app.23792
If your end-user encounters this error (or nc.windows.app.1023), they have been unable to connect to the IVE. Check items on both the client machine and on the IVE.

On the client
The error may indicate a faulty Java installation on the client. Have the client uninstall and reinstall the JRE.

Troubleshooting Network Connect errors

553

Juniper Networks Secure Access Administration Guide

One or more of the 3rd-party clients on your end-users computer may be faulty or interrupting the connection. You will need to check or have your user check clients such as VPN clients, Anti-Virus, Personal Firewalls, Spyware, and other types of endpoint security clients. The \Documents and Settings folder on the end-users computer might be encrypted. Network Connect cannot install itself to an encrypted directory.

On the IVE
Ensure that the DNS name lookup for the IVE does not resolve to its public/private IP address. If the NC profile is configured to use an external DHCP server, ensure that the DHCP server is responding to the IVE. Ensure that you have set the Auto Enable option for NCP. Select System > Network > Overview and make sure that you have configured DNS for the IVE.

Version conflict on downgrade

When you downgrade to a prior release, your end-users might receive a version conflict error when Network Connect initiates. The problem may occur because the client contains a newer version of certain files which the older version cannot use properly. To resolve this problem, delete the following files: <user_home>/.juniper_networks/ncLinuxApp.jar <user_home>/.juniper_networks/network_connect/*.* If this solution does not solve the version conflict problem, contact your system administrator.

Bonding ports
By default, on the SA 6000 only, the IVE uses bonding of the multiple ports to provide failover protection. Bonding describes a technology for aggregating two physical ports into one logical group. Bonding two ports on the IVE increases the failover capabilities by automatically shifting traffic to the secondary port when the primary port fails. The SA 6000 appliance bonds ports as follows: Internal port = Port 0+Port 2 External port = Port 1+Port 3 The IVE indicates in a message on the System > Network > Overview page whether or not the failover functionality is enabled.

Configuring general network settings

The IVE enables you to view the status of the system ports, to specify a host name for the IVE, and to configure DNS name resolution, Windows Internet Naming Service (WINS) server, and master browser settings for the IVE through settings in the System > Network > Overview page in the admin console. You may also use settings in this page to view the DNS and WINS settings that you entered through the serial console during initial configuration. When you remove a Windows workgroup, it might continue to appear in the IVE workgroup list for several hours before finally being removed from the list. This situation occurs because the IVE collects workgroup information from all of the systems it can contact. The workgroup name might be cached on one or more Windows systems for several hours and when the IVE interrogates the systems, it still finds the workgroup names. This is a common occurrence on systems other than the IVE as well, and poses no integrity problems. Use settings in this tab to configure general network settings. The Status area displays read-only status of the following items: Node NameName of the current node, if running a cluster. Failover MessageIndicates whether or not the failover functionality is enabled (only on an SA 6000 appliance). Internal PortThe status and speed of the internal port. Port 1The status and speed of the external port, if used.

Management PortThe status of the Management Port, if used. To configure general network settings: 1. In the admin console, choose System > Network > Overview. 2. Under Network Identity, enter the fully-qualified host name of the IVE.
NOTE:

The host name that you enter in this field cannot exceed 30 characters. Secure Meeting uses the specified host name when making SMTP calls and when populating notification emails with meeting URLs. For more information, see Secure Meeting on page 493. Pass Through Proxy uses the specified host name as an alias for the application server host name. For more information, see Task summary: Configuring pass-through proxy on page 287. If your IVE appliances are clustered, the network identity host name that you specify is synchronized across the cluster. In multi-site clusters, however, we recommend that you override this setting and specify different host names for the individual nodes in the cluster using options in the System > Clustering page. 3. Under DNS Name Resolution, update the primary DNS address, secondary DNS address, and default DNS domain name for the individual IVE appliance. You may enter a comma delimited list of DNS domains in these fields; the IVE searches for them in the order that they are listed. 4. Under Windows Networking: Enter the name or IP address of a local or remote the Windows Internet Naming Service (WINS) server that you use to associate workstation names and locations with IP addresses (if applicable). Click Master Browser(s) to select a WINS server, domain controller, or other server within the IVE domain that responds to NETBIOS calls and associates workstation names and locations with IP addresses (if applicable). Add the master browser through the Windows Networking Specify Master Browser page. 5. Select the Enable network discovery check box to enable the IVE to discover shared Windows folders. 6.

Chapter 22: General system management

Configuring internal and external ports

The internal port, also known as the internal interface, handles all WAN and LAN requests to resources, listening for Web browsing, file browsing, authentication, and outbound mail requests. You configure the internal port by providing IP address, gateway, DNS server and domain, and MTU settings during the initial setup of the IVE. You can also change them on the System > Network > Internal Port > Settings tab. For more information, see Configuring the Management Port on page 564. Alternatively, you can deploy the appliance in dual-port mode to listen for incoming Web and mail proxy SSL connections on an external port. The external port, also known as the external interface, handles all requests from users signed into the IVE from outside the customer LAN, for example, from the Internet. Before sending a packet, the IVE determines if the packet is associated with a TCP connection that was initiated by a user through the external interface. If that is the case, the IVE sends the packet to the external interface. All other packets go to the internal interface. The routes that you specify for each interface apply after the IVE has determined whether to use the internal or external interface. No requests are initiated by the IVE from the external interface, and this interface does not accept any other connections (except ping and traceroute connections). All requests to any resource are issued from the internal interface. (For more information, see Configuring general network settings on page 559.)

NOTE: If you enable the external port, then, by default, administrators may no longer sign in from an external location. You can open the external port for administrators on the Administrators > Admin Realms > RealmName > Authentication Policy > Source IP tab. For more information, see Specifying source IP access restrictions on page 43.

To modify network settings for the internal port (LAN interface): 1. In the admin console, choose System > Network > Internal Port > Settings.

Configuring SFP ports

The SA 6000 includes two Small Form-factor Pluggable (SFP) Gigabit Ethernet ports (designated ports 2 and 3 on the front of the SA 6000) that offer you the ability to further increase your connectivity to internal network components. When you enable the SFP ports, you can configure them just as you configure the internal port. For each SFP port that is available on your system, the admin console provides a separate configuration tab in System > Network > Port [#] where [#] is the specific number of the port. To modify network settings for an SFP port: 1. Select the SFP Port [#] > Settings tab.

Configuring the Management Port

The SA 6000 provides a Management Port that enables seamless integration into a dedicated Management Network, provides continuously available management access to the IVE, and enables you to perform management activities without impacting user traffic and vice versa. You can configure the Management Port just as you configure the internal port. The admin console provides a separate configuration tab in System > Network > Management Port, where you can specify port settings and advanced settings, such as IP address, netmask, MTU, ARP cache, and others. To modify network settings for the Management Port: 1. Select the Management Port > Settings tab.

Configuring VLANs
The IVE enables you to create VLANs for your enterprise. VLANs are used extensively in the virtual systems, as described in Configuring a Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN) on page 762. However, you can also create a VLAN for use in an environment in which you have deployed an IVE for use by all of your enterprise end-users. The VLAN enables you to take advantage of VLAN tagging, by which the IVE tags traffic with 802.1Q VLAN IDs before transmitting the traffic over the backend. The infrastructure uses the VLAN tag to direct the packets to your appropriate VLANs/subnets. Traffic coming in over the front-endthat is, inbound trafficdoes not have VLAN tags. The IVE adds the tag to a message upon its arrival over one of the IVE ports. Each VLAN is assigned a VLAN ID which is part of an IEEE 802.1Q-compliant tag that is added to each outgoing Ethernet frame. The VLAN ID uniquely identifies all inbound traffic. This tagging allows the system to direct all traffic to the appropriate VLAN and to apply respective policies to that traffic. The VLAN termination point is any device on which VLAN-tagged traffic is identified, stripped of the VLAN tag, and forwarded to the appropriate tunnel to the backend. The VLAN termination point can be a CE router, CPE router, L2 switch, firewall, or other device capable of VLAN routing. You must define a VLAN port for each VLAN. You assign the specific VLAN ID when defining the VLAN port. For each VLAN you configure, the virtualized IVE provisions a unique, logical VLAN interface, or port, on the internal interface. There is no relationship between the internal port IP address and any VLAN port IP address. Each VLAN port has its own route table. Each VLAN port definition consists of: Port Name. Must be unique across all VLAN ports that you define on the system or cluster. VLAN ID. An integer in the range from 1 to 4094 that uniquely identifies the VLAN.

IP Address/Netmask. Must be an IP address or netmask from the same network as the VLAN termination point, because the IVE connects to the VLAN termination point on a Layer 2 network connection. VLAN IP addresses must be unique. You cannot configure a VLAN to have the same network as the internal port. For example, if the internal port is 10.64.4.30/16 and you configure a VLAN as 10.64.3.30/16, you may get unpredictable results and errors. Default gateway. The IP address of the default router, typically the CE or CPE router. The default gateway could act as the VLAN termination point, or could reside behind the VLAN termination point. Other network settings. Inherited from the internal port. When you create a new VLAN port, the system creates two static routes, by default: The default route for the VLAN, pointing to the default gateway. The interface route to the directly connected network. To create a VLAN port, perform the following steps: 1. Select System > Network > VLANs to open the VLAN Network Settings tab. 2. Click New Port. If you are running a cluster, you must create the VLAN for the entire cluster, not just for a single node. 3. Under VLAN settings, enter a name for the VLAN port. 4. Enter a VLAN ID.
NOTE: The VLAN ID must be between 1 and 4094 and must be unique on the system.

5. Enter the IP address for the VLAN. 6. Enter a netmask for the VLAN. 7. Enter a default gateway for the VLAN. 8. Click Save Changes.

Configuring virtual ports

The IVE enables you to create virtual ports for users such as employees who are signing into the IVE from inside your internal network. A virtual port activates an IP alias on a physical port and shares all of the network settings (except IP address) with the port that hosts the virtual port. An IP alias is an IP address that is bound to a virtual port. (Note that an IP alias is different from the IVE systems primary IP address, which is a required IVE setting that you configure during the IVE initialization process.)

566

Configuring network settings

Chapter 22: General system management

You can also specify virtual ports as role-based source IP aliases. These aliases can correspond to source IP addresses that you specify on a backend network device as valid addresses originating from the IVE systems internal interface. For example, you might want to use a firewall behind the IVE to direct end-user traffic to particular departments based on source IP addresses. You can define a role-based source IP alias for each departmental site. Each end-user is then directed to a specific location based on their role through the use of the source IP alias. For more information on setting up role-based source IP aliases, see Specifying role-based source IP aliases on page 57. You can use virtual ports in conjunction with the multiple device certificates feature to provide users access to the same IVE through different IP aliases. You use virtual ports when using an IVE configured with an IVS license. In summary, you can use virtual ports for different purposes, depending on the physical port on which you base the virtual port: Configure virtual ports on the internal port to support subnetting in the backend network and role-based source IP aliasing. Also, if you have an IVS license, you can use virtual ports to direct traffic to different virtual systems. Configure virtual ports on the external port to support clustering and external sign-ins. Configure virtual ports on the Management Port to support redirection of administrative traffic. Configure virtual ports on the SFP ports to support redirection of traffic to and from those ports. To create a virtual port for a stand-alone IVE: 1. In the admin console, choose System > Network > Port Tab > Virtual Ports. The Port Tab could be for any one of ports 1, 2, 3, 4, the internal or external ports, or the Management Port. 2. Click New Port. 3. Enter a unique name for the virtual port. 4. Enter a unique IP alias to associate with the virtual portdo not use an IP address that is already associated with another virtual port.

NOTE: If you do not enter an IP address, the IVE does not activate the virtual port.

5. Click Save Changes.

NOTE: If you need to associate the virtual port with a device certificate, use settings in the System > Configuration > Certificates > Device Certificates tab. For more information, see Associating a certificate with a virtual port on page 606.

To create a virtual port on a cluster node: 1. In the admin console, choose System > Network > Port Tab > Virtual Ports. The Port Tab could be for any one of ports 1, 2, 3, 4, the internal or external ports, or the Management Port. 2. From the Settings for drop-down list, select Entire cluster and then click Update. 3. Click New Port. 4. Enter a unique name for the virtual port and then click Save Changes. The IVE adds the virtual port name to the Virtual Ports list and provides access to each node in the cluster. 5. Click the link to a node to access the IP address configuration page. Enter a unique IP alias to associate with the virtual portdo not use an IP address that is already associated with another virtual port.

NOTE: If you do not enter an IP address, the IVE does not activate the virtual port.

Task Summary: Defining Subnet Destinations Based on Roles

This section provides a high-level overview of the tasks required to direct users to specific subnets based on their roles. To set up a role-based mapping, you need to create role-based source IP aliases. To define subnet destinations based on roles: 1. Create virtual ports in the Network > Internal Port > Virtual Ports page of the admin console, as described in Configuring virtual ports on page 566. 2. Modify one or more roles to point to the virtual ports, in the Users > Roles > RoleName > General > Source IP page of the admin console, as described in Specifying role-based source IP aliases on page 57.

3. Map your users to specific roles based on the subnet indicated by the source IP of the role, in the Authentication > RealmName > Role Mapping page of the admin console, as described in Creating administrator roles on page 735.

Task Summary: Associating certificates with virtual ports

To associate certificates with virtual ports: 1. Use settings in the System > Network > Internal Port tab to create virtual ports. For instructions, see Configuring virtual ports on page 566. 2. Use settings in the System > Configuration > Certificates > Device Certificates page of the admin console to import the server certificates that you want to use to validate user certificates. Also use this tab to specify which ports the IVE should associate with the certificates. For instructions, see Associating a certificate with a virtual port on page 606.

Configuring static routes for network traffic

The IVE enables you to add routing table entries using settings in the System > Network > Routes tab. All connection requests to internal resources come from the IVE internal port regardless of route settings. The route settings on the external port are used only to route packets associated with connections that are initiated by a remote client. You can add static routes, if you want to indicate a specific route that the IVE should use when routing requests. You need to specify a valid IP address, gateway, and DNS address. The metric is a way of comparing multiple routes to establish precedence. Generally, the lower the number, from 1 to 15, the higher the precedence. So, a route with a metric of 2 would be chosen over a route with a metric of 14. The metric value of zero (0) identifies the route as one that should not be used. On the SA6000, you can configure two additional ports, port 2 and port 3. Although ports 2 and 3 appear to be equivalent to the Internal port, they are not, and by default, the IVE directs traffic to the Internal port when establishing an outbound connection. Therefore, if one of these two ports is connected to a network that the Internal port cannot reach, you need a static route for rewrites to access the unreachable network. Otherwise, the rewrites might fail. As a consequence, you need to configure static routes to those ports. The ports appear in the drop down port menu as Port 2 and Port 3. For more information about configuring static routes, see Configuring static routes for network traffic on page 569. To specify static routes for network traffic: 1. In the admin console, choose System > Network > Routes. 2. Select a destination route table from the View route table for: drop down menu. 3. Click New Route. 4. Enter the required information.

5. Click Add to [destination] route table. Destination route tables may be available for the Internal port, External port, Management port, Port 2, and Port 3, depending on which hardware platform you are configuring, or for any VLANs you have defined.

NOTE: Port 2 and Port 3 are available only on the SA 6000.

Creating ARP caches

You can use ARP caching to determine the physical (MAC) address of a network device such as a router or backend application server that connects to the IVE. Use the System > Network > Internal Port > ARP Cache tab to manage the following types of ARP (address resolution protocol) entries: Static entriesYou can add a static ARP entry to the cache associated with the IP and MAC address. The IVE stores static entries during reboots and reactivates them after re-booting. Static entries are always present on the IVE. Dynamic entriesThe network learns dynamic ARP entries during normal use and interaction with other network devices. The IVE caches dynamic entries for up to 20 minutes and deletes them during a reboot or when you manually delete them. You can view and delete static and dynamic entries from the ARP cache as well as add static entries. If you have a cluster of IVEs, note that ARP cache information is node-specific. The IVE only synchronizes ARP cache information across non-multisite clusters. To add a static entry to the ARP Cache: 1. In the admin console, choose System > Network > Port Tab > ARP Cache. The Port Tab could be for any one of ports 1, 2, 3, 4, the internal or external ports, or the Management Port. 2. Enter the IP Address and the Physical Address in their respective fields at the top of the table.
NOTE: If you add an entry containing an existing IP address, the IVE overwrites the existing entry with your new entry. Also note that the IVE does not verify the validity of MAC addresses.

3. Click Add.

Specifying host names for the IVE to resolve locally

Specify host names that the IVE can resolve to IP addresses locally by using the Hosts tab. This feature is useful when: Your DNS server is not accessible to the IVE. You use WINS to access servers within the LAN. Your corporate security policy does not allow internal servers to be listed on an external DNS or requires that internal host names are masked. To specify host names for the IVE to resolve locally: 1. In the admin console, choose the System > Network > Hosts tab. 2. Enter an IP address, a comma delimited list of host names that resolve to the IP address, a comment of 200 words or less (optional), and then click Add.

Specifying IP filters
You can specify IP filters for the IVE to apply to Network Connect IP pools from the System > Network > Network Connect tab. An IP pool is a specific range of IP addresses available for Network Connect requests (as explained in Network Connect on page 521). For configuration instructions, see Specifying IP filters on page 547.

Using central management features

The Central Manager package is available as part of the Advanced license. Central management features consist of a two-tier (client/server) system that enables you to manage multiple IVEs, regardless of whether or not they are clustered. Central management features include: System dashboardThe system dashboard feature displays system capacity graphs and alarms that allow you to easily monitor the system. You can access the system dashboard from the System > Status page of the admin console. Improved logging and monitoringThe logging feature enables you to create custom filters so that you may view and save only those log messages that you choose in the format of your choice. You can access the logging feature from the System > Log/Monitoring page of the admin console. Push configuration featureThe push configuration feature enables you to easily push settings from one IVE to another for convenient centralized management.You can access the push configuration feature from the Maintenance > Push Config page of the admin console. Minimal downtime upgradesThe minimal downtime upgrade feature enables you to expedite upgrades across a cluster, ensuring that one cluster member is always functional during the upgrade process. You can access the upgrade feature from the Maintenance > System > Upgrade/Downgrade page of the admin console.

Deterministic cluster recoveryThe deterministic cluster recovery feature enables you to assign ranks to various nodes in a cluster such that when a cluster recovers from split-brain situation, the node with the highest rank propagates the correct cluster state. Improved user interfaceThe admin console for Central Manager includes an enhanced appearance over the standard admin console for appliances with a user license. Improved SNMP MIBThe enhanced SNMP MIB feature provides you with capacity utilization metrics. You can download the improved MIB from the System > Log/Monitoring > SNMP page of the admin console. Saving local backupsThe local backups feature enables you to save up to 10 local backups of system and user configuration files on the IVE. You can access this feature through the Maintenance > Archiving > Local Backups page of the admin console.

Modifying Central Management dashboard graphs

If you have installed the Central Manager upgrade on your Secure Access appliance, the system dashboard appears when you open the administrator console. The dashboard displays system capacity graphs that allow you to easily monitor your system. If you want to analyze or display the information from these graphs using your own tools, you may use the graph download feature. From the system dashboard, you may download the data from each of the graphs into an XML file. Then, you may use your own tools to reformat or analyze the data in the XML files.

Central Management dashboard graphs XML schemas

The XML files for all of the system dashboard graphs contain the same basic XML elements:
<xport>Top level element. <meta>Second level element. <start>Time that the system collected the first data point for the graph, in UTC format. <step>Interval at which the system collected data points for the graph, in seconds. For example, the following XML entry indicates that the system collects data every minute: <step>60</step> <end>Time that the system collected the last data point for the graph, in UTC

format.
<rows>Number of data points collected for the graph. <columns>Number of metrics collected for the graph. (Corresponds to the

Reviewing system data

The Maintenance > System > Platform page in the admin console lists IVE system data and contains controls for restarting, rebooting, or shutting down an IVE. It also contains a control to test server connectivity. When the IVE is a member of a cluster, this page lists additional, cluster-specific, system data and the controls operate on a cluster-wide basis.

RebootPower cycles and reboots the IVE. When the IVE is a member of a cluster, this control power cycles and reboots all members of the cluster. Shut downShuts down the IVE, requiring you to press the reset button on the appliance to restart the server. When the IVE is a member of a cluster, this control shuts down all members of a cluster, requiring you to press the reset button on all clustered appliances to restart the cluster. Note that the machine power remains on after a server shutdown.
NOTE: If you want to restart, reboot, or shut down, or upgrade one IVE in a cluster,

you first disable the IVE using the controls on the System > Clustering > Status page, and then return to the Platform page to employ the control of your choice. RollbackRolls back the software image and reboots the IVE. After the IVE reboots, the image on the IVE is automatically rolled back to the image displayed in the Rollback field, above. Test ConnectivitySends an ICMP ping from the IVE to all the servers the IVE is configured to use and report their connectivity. Each servers status is reported under Server Connectivity Results.
NOTE: If you are looking for information on performing a factory reset or rolling the system back to the previous state, please see IVE serial console on page 811.

Upgrading or downgrading the IVE

You can install a different service package by first obtaining the software from the Juniper Support Web site and then uploading it through the admin console. Package files are encrypted and signed so that the IVE server accepts only valid packages issued by Juniper Networks. This measure prevents the IVE server from accepting Trojan horse programs. This feature is typically used to upgrade to newer versions of the system software, but you can also use this process to downgrade to a previous version or to delete all your current configuration settings and start from a clean slate. You may also roll back to a previous system state through the serial console, as described in Rolling back to a previous system state on page 812. You can upgrade or downgrade the IVE from the Maintenance > System > Upgrade/Downgrade page of the admin console.
NOTE: Installing a service package can take several minutes and requires the IVE to reboot. Because existing system data is backed up during this process, you can decrease installation time by clearing your system log before trying to install a service package.

The auto-allow option provides the means to automatically add bookmarks for a given role to an access control policy, for example, Web bookmarks with auto-allow set are added to the Web access control policy. You only use this feature if you also use Resource Policies. We recommend that you use Resource Profiles instead. For more information on resource profiles, see Resource profile components on page 72. 7. Under the Show Auto-allow option, choose either: Only this URLThis option restricts the bookmarks to be added to the access control policy to the primary URL. For example, the URL http://www.company.com would be added to the access control policy.

The Installers page contains the following controls: Juniper Installer ServiceThe Juniper Installer Service allows users to download, install, upgrade, and run client-side applications without administrator privileges. In order to perform these tasks (which require administrator privileges), the Juniper Installer Service runs under the clients Local System account (a powerful account with full access to the system) and registers itself with Windows Service Control Manager (SCM). An Active-X control or a Java applet running inside the users Web browser communicates the details of the installation processes to be performed through a secure channel between the IVE and the client system.

NOTE: When installing the Juniper Installer Service on client systems, note that:

You need administrator privileges to install the Juniper Installer Service. For additional information, see the Client-side Changes Guide on the Juniper Networks Customer Support Center. You should ensure that the Microsoft Windows Installer exists on the client system prior to installing the Juniper Installer Service. Your end-users client systems must contain either a valid and enabled Java Runtime Engine (JRE) or a current IVE ActiveX control. If the client systems do not contain either of these software components, the end-users will be unable to connect to the gateway. You should ensure that a valid JRE is enabled on your end-users client systems. If there is no JRE on your end-users client systems, you should download an appropriate installer package from Maintenance > System > Installers. The service appears in the Windows Services (Local) list as Neoteris Setup Service. The service starts automatically on install and during client system start up. Host CheckerThis installer (HCInst.exe) installs Host Checker on users systems. Host Checker is a client-side agent that performs endpoint security checks on hosts that connect to the IVE.
NOTE: If you decide to distribute Host Checker, make sure to uncheck the Autoupgrade Host Checker option on the Authentication > Endpoint Security > Host Checker page (see Specifying general Host Checker options on page 262). Otherwise the IVE downloads the Host Checker application to a users machine, which may not be the same version as the distributed version.

Entering or upgrading IVE licenses

The IVE appliance ships with a license that allows you basic access to the IVE1. To take full advantage of your appliance, however, you must access the Juniper Networks License Management System, provide your Licensing Hardware ID and Authorization Code(s) to obtain your license keys, and sign in to the admin console to enter the license keys you receive from Juniper Networks. A Licensing Hardware ID is a unique 16-character code Juniper Networks uses to identify your particular IVE when generating license keys. You can find the IVEs Licensing Hardware ID above the menu options in the serial console and at the bottom of the admin console. An Authorization Code is a pass key required to generate and activate license keys you or your company have purchased for your IVE. You receive your Authorization Code(s) separate from the IVE after you purchase your IVE and associated product and feature licenses.

1. The basic IVE license allows you to create 5 local user accounts, enables 2 users to sign in concurrently, and provides basic Web, Windows, and UNIX/NFS file browsing capabilities.

The package you download from the Juniper Networks License Management System or the email message you receive from Juniper Networks may contain different types of licenses: IVE user license keysThe IVE user license key enables you to host as many users as are specified in the license key code. IVE user license keys are additive, meaning that you can expand the number of users that can access the IVE by simply acquiring an additional user license key and adding it to your configuration. For example, if you initially purchase an SA4000-ADD-100U license and then purchase another SA4000-ADD-100U license in the future, your IVE could accommodate up to 200 users. IVE access feature license keysIVE access feature license keys allow you to enable access methods on the IVE. Access feature license keys are available for a variety of access methods including Network Connect and Secure Application Manager, Secure Meeting, and Advanced access feature licenses. IVE cluster license keysIVE cluster license keys enable clustering behavior among IVEs. You can purchase IVE cluster license keys in conjunction with IVE user license keys, but the number of users that can access the IVEs in the cluster is restricted to the maximum number of users allowed by the IVE cluster license key. Like IVE user license keys, IVE cluster license keys are additive in that you can increase the number of users who are able to access the cluster by purchasing additional license keys in the future. For example, if you initially purchase an SA4000-CL-100U cluster license and then purchase another SA4000-CL-100U cluster license in the future, your IVE could accommodate up to 200 users. If you purchase an additional SA4000-ADD100U IVE user license key instead of an additional cluster license key, however, despite being able to accommodate up to 200 users via your user license keys, you can still only accommodate 100 users in the cluster of IVEs. For more information on clustering IVEs, refer to Clustering on page 705.

NOTE: All nodes in a cluster must feature the same license key as on the primary cluster IVE to enable cluster operation. You cannot add an ADD and a CL license to the same machine at the same time. For a node to be able to join a cluster, you must add a CL license to the node.

IVE lab license keysLab license keys allow you to deploy new IVE functionality in a test or laboratory environment before deciding whether or not to purchase and roll out the up-to-date functionality in your live network. Lab license keys are valid for 52 weeks and grant access to a limited number of users. Although you can purchase multiple lab license keys, it does not increase the number of users to whom you can provide access. Instead, you can increase the duration of the license by multiples of 52 weeks (104 weeks, 156 weeks, and so forth). For example, if you purchase two SA4000-LAB licenses, you can grant 10 users access for 104 weeks, rather than just 52.

IVE In Case of Emergency (ICE) license keysIn Case of Emergency (ICE) license keys allow you to activate the IVE emergency mode, which temporarily enables the IVE for a large number of users. For instance, you may want to activate this mode if one of your offices shuts down due to severe weather conditions. When you do, your employees can use the IVE to work from home instead of coming to the office. Valid ICE licenses support a full set of features, but limits usage to 2 users when emergency mode is dectivated. You can operate the IVE in emergency mode for up to 8 weeks. For more information, see Activating and deactivating emergency mode on page 586. IVE evaluation license keysEvaluation license keys allow you to enable and roll out the latest IVE functionality for a limited time before deciding whether or not to purchase license keys and enable the new IVE functionality on a permanent basis. Evaluation license keys are valid for one, two, or four weeks. Use the System > Configuration > Licensing tab to enter the license keys for your site, view their expiration dates, and delete them (if required).
NOTE: Make sure that you read the license agreement, which is accessible from the Licensing tab, before submitting your license key. The license agreement available from the Licensing tab is the same text displayed in the serial console during the initial setup.

586

Configuring licensing, security, and NCP

Chapter 22: General system management

In order to activate the IVE in emergency mode, you must first install an In Case of Emergency (ICE) license using the standard IVE license installation procedure. Then, when the emergency occurs, you can easily activate emergency mode through the IVE Web console. When your emergency has passed, you should then deactivate the emergency mode.
NOTE: The ICE license is permanent until you activate emergency mode. Activating emergency mode switches the ICE license to a temporary license and only enables you to operate in emergency mode for 8 weeks. Once the ICE license expires, all features disappear and your users can no longer access the IVE using the emergency mode.

To activate or deactivate emergency mode: 1. In the Web console, choose System > Configuration > Licensing. 2. Find the In Case of Emergency License entry in the license list. Sample ICE license names include: SA4000-ICE SA4000-ICE-CL SA6000-ICE SA6000-ICE-CL 3. Click the Enable link in the right side of the license column to activate emergency mode or click Disable to deactivate it.
NOTE: When you enable and disable emergency mode, the IVE decrements the

corresponding license in 5 minute intervals.

Setting security options

Use the System > Configuration > Security page to change the default security settings for your IVE. We recommend that you use the default security settings, which provide maximum security, but you may need to modify these settings if your users cannot use certain browsers or access certain Web pages. You can also configure lockout options for protecting the IVE and back-end systems from DOS/DDOS/Password Guessing attacks from the same IP address.

Setting system-wide security options

If any of your users experience browser problems when accessing certain Web pages, consider adjusting the following settings: Allowed SSL and TLS VersionSpecify encryption requirements for IVE users. The IVE honors this setting for all Web server traffic, including oNCP and Secure Email client, and all types of clients, including Pocket PC and iMode. (The IVE requires SSL version 3 and TLS by default.) You can require users who have older browsers that use SSL version 2 to update their browsers or change the IVE setting to allow SSL version 2, SSL version 3, and TLS.
Configuring licensing, security, and NCP

587

Juniper Networks Secure Access Administration Guide

Allowed Encryption StrengthThe IVE requires 128-bit encryption by default, and you can also specify that the IVE requires 168-bit encryption. Older browsers, which pre-date the 2000 change in the U.S. export law that required 40-bit cipher encryption for international export, may still use 40-bit encryption. You can either require users to update to a browser with 128-bit cipher encryption or change the required encryption strength to also allow 40bit ciphers.
NOTE: When using 168-bit encryption on the IVE, some Web browsers may still show 128-bit encryption (the gold lock on the browser status bar) even though the connection is 168-bit. This may be a limitation of the browser's capability.

Encryption Strength optionNormally, the allowed encryption strength is enforced after an SSL session is established, so that a user connecting with a disallowed encryption strength receives a Web page describing the problem. This option prevents a browser with a weak cipher from establishing a connection. Delete all cookies at session terminationFor convenience, the IVE sets persistent cookies on the users machine to support functions such as multiple sign-in, last associated realm, and the last sign-in URL. If you desire additional security or privacy, you may choose to not set them. Include IVE session cookie in URLMozilla 1.6 and Safari may not pass cookies to the Java Virtual Machine, preventing users from running JSAM and Java applets. To support these browsers, the IVE can include the user session cookie in the URL that launches JSAM or a Java applet. By default, this option is enabled, but if you have concerns about exposing the cookie in the URL, you can disable this feature.

Configuring Lockout options

You can configure the following Lockout options to protect the IVE and other systems from Denial of Service (DoS), Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS), and password-guessing attacks from the same IP address: RateSpecify the number of failed sign-in attempts to allow per minute. AttemptsSpecify the maximum number of failed sign-in attempts to allow before triggering the initial lockout. The IVE determines the maximum initial period of time (in minutes) to allow the failed sign-in attempts to occur by dividing the specified number of attempts by the rate. For example, 180 attempts divided by a rate of 3 results in a initial period of 60 minutes. If 180 or more failed sign-in attempts occur within 60 minutes or less, the IVE locks out the IP address being used for the failed sign-in attempt. Lockout periodSpecify the number of minutes you want the IVE to lock out the IP address.

NOTE: Lockout options are not available to IVS systems. All other security options are available to IVS systems.

588

Configuring licensing, security, and NCP

Chapter 22: General system management

The IVE reacts quickly to an attack that persists, and then gradually becomes less restrictive when the attack subsides. After a lockout occurs, the IVE gradually recovers by maintaining the Rate. If the current failure rate since the last lockout exceeds the specified Rate, the IVE locks out the IP address again. If the failure rate is less than the specified Rate for the period of Attempts/Rate, the IVE returns to the initial monitoring state. For example, if you use the following settings for the Lockout options, the IVE locks out the IP address for the time periods in the following scenario. Rate=3 failed sign-in attempts/minute Attempts=180 maximum allowed in initial period of 60 minutes (180/3) Lockout period=2 minutes 1. During a period of three minutes, 180 failed sign-in attempts occur from the same IP address. Because the specified value for Attempts occurs in less than the allowed initial period of 60 minutes (180/3), the IVE locks out the IP address for 2 minutes (4th and 5th minutes). 2. In the 6th minute, the IVE removes the lock on the IP address and begins maintaining the rate of 3 failed sign-in attempts/minute. In the 6th and 7th minutes, the number of failed sign-in attempts is 2 per minute, so the IVE does not lock the IP address. However, when the number of failed sign-in attempts increases to 5 in the 8th minute, which is a total of 9 failed sign-in attempts within 3 minutes, the IVE locks out the IP address for 2 minutes again (9th and 10th minutes). 3. In the 11th minute, the IVE removes the lock on the IP address and begins maintaining the rate of 3 failed sign-in attempts/minute again. When the rate remains below an average of 3/minute for 60 minutes, the IVE returns to its initial monitoring state.

Configuring NCP and JCP

The Instant Virtual Extranet uses the following types of internal protocols to communicate between the IVE server and client applications: Network Communications Protocol (NCP)The IVE uses NCP to communicate over SSL with Windows client applications, including the Secure Meeting Windows client, WSAM, and Network Connect. Optimized NCP (oNCP)Optimized NCP (oNCP) significantly improves the throughput performance of the client applications over NCP because it contains improvements to protocol efficiency, connection handling, and data compression. Java Communications Protocol (JCP)The IVE uses JCP to communicate with Java client applications, including the Secure Meeting Java client, JSAM, and the Java Content Intermediation Engine. To set NCP options: 1. In the admin console, choose System > Configuration > NCP.
Configuring licensing, security, and NCP

589

Juniper Networks Secure Access Administration Guide

2. (Windows clients) Under NCP Auto-Select, select: Auto-select Enabled (recommended) Use the oNCP by default. If you select this option, the IVE uses oNCP for most client/server communications and then switches to standard NCP when necessary. The IVE reverts to NCP if the user is running an unsupported operating system, browser type, or combination thereof, or if the client application fails to open a direct TCP connection to the IVE for any reason (for instance, the presence of a proxy, timeout, disconnect). Auto-select Disabled Always use standard NCP. This option is primarily provided for backwards compatibility.
NOTE: If you are using Network Connect to provide client access, we recommend that you exercise caution when employing the Auto-select Disabled option, as Mac and Linux clients cannot connect using the traditional NCP protocol. If you disable the oNCP/NCP auto-selection feature and a UDP-to-oNCP/NCP fail-over occurs, the IVE disconnects Macintosh and Linux clients because the IVE fails over from UDP to NCP (instead of oNCP), which does not support these users.

3. (Java clients) Under Read Connection Timeout, set the timeout interval for Java clients (15-120 seconds). If client-side secure access methods do not receive data from the IVE for the specified interval, they try to reestablish a connection to the IVE. Note that this value does not apply to user inactivity in client applications. 4. (Windows clients) Under Idle Connection Timeout, set the idle connection interval. This timeout interval determines how long the IVE maintains idle connections for client-side Windows secure access methods. 5. Click Save Changes.

Configuring and using the Management Port

The Juniper Networks SA 6000 includes a physical Management Port that you can use to connect to dedicated management networks. You can use the Management Port to separate business traffic from device management traffic, which can improve reliability and failure recovery. The typical deployment scenario takes advantage of the internal port for access to company business systems, the external port for access to and from the Internet, and the Management Port for access to the management network, consisting of dedicated devices such as syslog servers and SNMP servers. Once you enable the Management Port capabilities, specific types of management traffic are sent over the management port: Syslog traffic SNMP traps SNMP queries NTP traffic FTP/SCP archive traffic

NOTE: If you apply an IVS license, you cannot use the Management Port to capture

IVS administrative and management traffic. Also, you cannot use the IVS pathbased URL prefix to sign in on the Management Port. You can also use the Management Port to copy selected configuration settings from one IVE to another using the Push Configuration feature.

If you do not select a device certificate for the Management Port, then the IVE uses the default device certificate that is presented on the Internal port.
NOTE: You cannot assign certificates to Management Port VIPs.

Controlling administrator sign-in access

You can control administrator access to the ports on the IVE. When you enable the Management Port, access to it is controllable through the configuration of your Admin realms. To control administrator access to the Management Port 1. Enable the Management Port following the instructions in Configuring Management Port network settings on page 592. 2. Perform one of the following steps: Choose Administrators > Admin Realms > Admin Users if you intend to modify the default admin users realm. Choose Administrators > Admin Realms, then click New, if you intend to create a new admin realm. 3. Perform one of the following steps: If you chose to create a new admin realm, follow the instructions for configuring the realm as described in Creating an authentication realm on page 166, then continue to the next step. If you chose to modify the default admin users realm, continue to the next step. 4. Click the Authentication Policy tab. 5. Scroll to the bottom of the Source IP tab. You should see a message stating that the Management Port is enabled, along with a link to the Network Settings page. 6. Select the available options to allow administrators to sign in to all available ports, to the management port or the internal port only, or to restrict them from signing in to any of the ports. In some cases you may inadvertently limit administrative access completely. If this occurs, you can reconfigure the ports by way of the serial console.

594

Chapter 22: General system management

NOTE:

If you limit administrative access to the Management Port, then export configuration and import the configuration to an SA 2000 or an SA 4000 appliance, the import operation may fail or the Management Port configuration will be ignored, possibly stranding your administrator access. This could occur because only the SA 6000 supports the Management Port. The other appliance models do not recognize the Management Port configuration. If you enable administrators to sign in to the Management Port or to the Internal Port but you neglect to enable the Management Port itself, the IVE considers the option to be set to allow administrators to sign in to the Internal port only. If you then enable the Management Port, the setting for administrator access to the Management Port will be restored, assuming you have left the Management Port option selected on the Authentication Policy tab. 7. Click Save Changes.

Signing in over the Management Port

If you sign in to an appliance directly via the Management Port IP address, you will be unable to access the end-user sign-in page, as you normally can with the default IVE configuration over the internal port. You are only allowed to sign in to the realm defined for the administrative access to the Management Port. If you want to access the end-user sign-in page, you need to sign in over either the internal port or the external port. However, if you have restricted access within the realm, so that administrators must sign in over the Management Port, access to the other ports is effectively blocked when signing in to the Management Port IP address.

Setting role-mapping rules using custom expressions

When you have enabled the Management Port, you can use a new value for the network interface (networkIF) variable in custom expressions to assign roles to the port. To use the new variable: 1. After completing the steps described in Controlling administrator sign-in access on page 594, click the Role Mapping tab. 2. Select Custom Expressions from the Rule based on drop down menu. 3. Click Update. 4. Under the Rule section, click Expressions. 5. On the Expressions tab of the Server Catalog dialog, enter a name for your new rule.

Configuring and using the Management Port

595

Juniper Networks Secure Access Administration Guide

6. Enter the expression as:

networkIF = management

Make sure you enclose the value in double quotes. Unlike the values for internal and external ports, you must delimit the Management Port value with double quotes. 7. Click Save Changes. Your named expression appears in the Available Expressions text box. 8. Select the expression and click Add to move the expression to the Selected Expressions text box. 9. Select the appropriate role, for example, .Administrators, then click Add to move the role to the Selected Roles text box. 10. Click Save Changes. This procedure assigns the selected role or roles to the Management Port.

Troubleshooting the Management Port

The IVE provides a number of troubleshooting features to help you identify and resolve problems, if necessary. Some potential problems can occur if you do not configure your management network and if you allow management devices, such as syslog servers to send traffic over the IVE internal port. For example, if you configure management devices to send traffic over the internal port, you may be unable to retrieve that information. For example, if you configure an SNMP trap to send results over the internal port when the Management Port is enabled, the IVE drops the data.
NOTE: The IVE ignores SNMP queries that occur on any port other than the Management Port, when the Management Port is enabled.

Management Port traffic is captured in the admin log. You can: Using TCPDump to troubleshoot the Management Port on page 596 Using network utilities to test connectivity on page 597 Using the Management Port on a cluster on page 597

3. Configure the other available options as described in Creating TCP dump files on page 696. 4. Click Start Sniffing.

Using network utilities to test connectivity

The IVE provides a number of network utilities that you can use to test connectivity to the Management Port, including ARP, ping, traceroute, and NSlookup. 1. Choose Maintenance > Troubleshooting > Commands. 2. Select the command type from the Command drop down menu. 3. Configure the specific utility, as described in Testing IVE network connectivity on page 697. 4. Select Management Port. 5. Click Ok.

Using the Management Port on a cluster

The Management Port uses node-specific network settings, including the enable/disable settings. In effect, this means that you can combine different models of IVE appliance in a cluster, but doing so may limit the use of the Management Port for the entire cluster. The Management Port is not available on any appliance other than the SA 6000. If you enable the Management Port on a node that is an SA 6000, management traffic from that node travels over the Management Port. Traffic from non-SA 6000 nodes, however, travels over the internal port.

Importing configurations to a system with the Management Port enabled

If you import a configuration from a system that does not support a management port into a system that has an enabled management port and you import everything, including licenses, the management port on the target system will appear to be removed. The management port actually continues to be operational and will reappear along with its original configuration when you reapply the management port license for the target system. If you import to the target but specify the Import everything except network settings and licenses option, the management port and its configuration persist on the target system and the port is operational.

Certificates
An IVE uses PKI to secure the data that it sends to clients over the Internet. PKI (public key infrastructure) is a security method that uses public and private keys to encrypt and decrypt information. These keys are enabled and stored through digital certificates. A digital certificate is an encrypted electronic file issued that establishes a Web servers or users credentials for client-server transactions. An IVE uses the following types of digital certificates to establish credentials and secure IVE session transactions: Device certificatesA device certificate helps to secure network traffic to and from an IVE appliance using elements such as your company name, a copy of your companys public key, the digital signature of the certificate authority (CA) who issued the certificate, a serial number, and expiration date. For more information, see Using device certificates on page 600. Trusted client CAsA trusted client CA is a client-side certificate issued by a certificate authority (CA) that allows you to control access to realms, roles, and resource policies based on certificates or certificate attributes. For example, you may specify that users must present a valid client-side certificate with the OU attribute set to yourcompany.com in order to sign into the Users authentication realm. For more information, see Using trusted client CAs on page 607. Trusted server CAsA trusted server CA is the certificate of a Web server that you trust. If you have a Web browsing license, you may install a trusted server CA on the IVE in order to validate the credentials of the Web sites that users access through the IVE appliance. For more information, see Using trusted server CAs on page 621. Code-signing certificatesA code-signing certificate (also called an applet certificate) is a type of server-side certificate that re-signs Java applets intermediated by the IVE. You may use the self-signed code-signing certificate that comes pre-loaded on an IVE appliance, or you may install your own codesigning certificate. For more information, see Using code-signing certificates on page 623. In a basic IVE setup, the only required certificates are a device certificate and a code-signing certificate. The IVE appliance can use a single code-signing certificate to resign all Java applets and a single device certificate to intermediate all other PKIbased interactions. If the basic certificates do not meet your needs, however, you may install multiple device and applet certificates on an IVE appliance or use trusted CA certificates to validate users.

Licensing: Certificate availability

Certificate management features are an integral part of the IVE management frameworkAll Secure Access products include some certificate management features. If you are an SA 700 administrator, however, note that trusted server CA and code-signing certificate administration features are only available if you have a Core Clientless Access upgrade license.

Using device certificates

A device certificate helps to secure network traffic to and from an IVE appliance using elements such as your company name, a copy of your companys public key, the digital signature of the certificate authority (CA) who issued the certificate, a serial number, and expiration date. When receiving encrypted data from an IVE, the clients browser first checks whether the IVEs certificate is valid and whether the user trusts the CA that issued the IVEs certificate. If the user has not already indicated that he trusts the IVEs certificate issuer, the Web browser prompts the user to accept or install the IVEs certificate. When you initialize an IVE, it creates a temporary self-signed digital certificate locally that enables users to immediately begin using your IVE. Note that the encryption for the self-signed certificate created during initialization is perfectly safe, but users are prompted with a security alert each time they sign in to an IVE because the certificate is not issued by a trusted certificate authority (CA). For production purposes, we recommend that you obtain a digital certificate from a trusted CA. The IVE supports X.509 device certificates in DER and PEM encode formats (file extensions include .cer, .crt, .der, and .pem) as well as PKCS #12 (file extensions include .pfx and .p12). The IVE also supports using the following additional features with device certificates: Intermediate device CA certificatesWithin a certificate hierarchy, one or more intermediate certificates are branched off of a single root certificate.

Importing certificates into the IVE

This section contains the following import instructions: Importing an existing root certificate and private key on page 601 Importing a renewed certificate that uses the existing private key on page 602

Importing an existing root certificate and private key

You can create Web server certificates from servers such as Apache, IIS, Sun ONE (formerly iPlanet), or Netscape, and then import the certificate into the IVE. To export a digital server certificate and key, please follow your Web server's instructions for exporting certificates. Then, use the Device Certificates tab to import these files.
NOTE:

When exporting a certificate from another Web server, note that it must be encrypted and you must export the password with the certificate. You cannot import a Web server certificates private key into an Secure Access FIPS machine, since the key is created in a non-FIPS compliant environment. You may, however, import a certificate key from another IVE along with its security world. For more information, see Importing and exporting IVE configuration files on page 632. To import an existing root server certificate and private key: 1. In the admin console, choose System > Configuration > Certificates > Device Certificates. 2. Click Import Certificate & Key.

Using device certificates

601

Juniper Networks Secure Access Administration Guide

3. Choose the appropriate form to import the certificate: If the certificate and key are contained in one file, use the If certificate file includes private key form. If the certificate and key are separate files, use the If certificate and private key are separate files form. If the certificate and key are contained in a system configuration file, use the Import via System Configuration file form. When you choose this option, the IVE imports all of the certificates specified in the configuration file into the Device Certificates page (including private keys and pending CSRs, but not the corresponding port mappings).

NOTE: You cannot import a device certificate into a FIPS system. You can only create a CSR and then import a signed certificate from the CSR.

4. In the appropriate form, browse to the certificate and key file. If the file is encrypted, enter the password key. 5. Click Import.

Importing a renewed certificate that uses the existing private key

You can renew a device certificate in two ways: Submit a new CSR to a CAThis process of renewing a certificate is more secure, because the CA generates a new certificate and private key, retiring the older private key. To use this renewal method, you must first create a CSR through the admin console. For more information, see Creating a certificate signing request (CSR) for a new certificate on page 604.
NOTE: You cannot import a Web server certificates private key into an Secure Access FIPS machine, since the key is created in a non-FIPS compliant environment.

Request renewal based on the CSR previously submitted to the CAThis process of renewing a certificate is less secure, because the CA generates a certificate that uses the existing private key.
NOTE: When ordering a renewed certificate, you must resubmit your original CSR or ensure that the CA has a record of the CSR that you submitted for your current certificate.

602

Using device certificates

Chapter 23: Certificates

To import a renewed device certificate that uses the existing private key: 1. Follow your CAs instructions for renewing a certificate that you previously purchased through them.
NOTE: Ensure you specify the same information you used in the original CSR. Your CA uses this information to create a new certificate that corresponds to the existing key.

Even though you specify the same information used in the original CSR, your rootCA may have different serial numbers and keys from the original. You may need to support both new client and old client certificates during the transition period, which means that you will need to maintain two rootCA certificates (your existing cert and the renewed cert), at least temporarily. To support multiple rootCA certificates, you must have an Advanced license. Please contact your Juniper Networks Support representative, if you need to procure an Advanced license. 2. In the admin console, choose System > Configuration > Certificates > Device Certificates. 3. If you want to renew an intermediate certificate, click the Intermediate Device CAs link at the top of the page. 4. Click the link that corresponds to the certificate that you want to renew. 5. Click Renew Certificate. 6. In the Renew the Certificate form, browse to the renewed certificate file, enter the password for the certificate key, and click Import.

Downloading a device certificate from the IVE

If you create a SAML resource policy, for example, you must create a trust relationship between the IVE and your access management system. (Trust relationships ensure that SAML-enabled systems are only passing information to and from trusted sources.) If you choose to create a SAML SSO resource policy using a POST profile, part of creating a trust relationship involves installing the IVEs device certificate on the access management system. The Device Certificates page enables you to easily download the IVE appliances certificate so you can install it on your access management system. To download a device certificate from the IVE: 1. In the admin console, choose System > Configuration > Certificates > Device Certificates. 2. Click the link that corresponds to the certificate that you want to save. 3. Click Download. 4. Browse to the location where you want to save the certificate and click Save.

Creating a certificate signing request (CSR) for a new certificate

If your company does not own a digital certificate for its Web servers, or if you are running an Secure Access FIPS system, you can create a CSR (certificate signing request) through the admin console and then send the request to a CA for processing. When you create a CSR through the admin console, a private key is created locally that corresponds to the CSR. If you delete the CSR at any point, this file is deleted, too, prohibiting you from installing a signed certificate generated from the CSR.

NOTE: Do not send more than one CSR to a CA at one time. Doing so may result in

duplicate charges. You may view details of any pending requests that you previously submitted by clicking the Certificate Signing Request Details link in the Device Certificates tab. To create a certificate signing request: 1. In the admin console, choose System > Configuration > Certificates > Device Certificates. 2. Click New CSR. 3. Enter the required information and click Create CSR. 4. Follow the instructions on-screen, which explain what information to send to the CA and how to send it. 5. When you receive the signed certificate from the CA, import the certificate file using the instructions that follow.
NOTE: When submitting a CSR to a CA authority, you may be asked to specify

either the type of Web server on which the certificate was created or the type of Web server the certificate is for. Select apache (if more than one option with apache is available, choose any). Also, if prompted for the certificate format to download, select the standard format.

Importing a signed certificate created from a CSR

If you create a CSR through the admin console, the IVE displays a Pending CSR link for the CSR in the Device Certificates tab until you import the signed device certificate distributed by the certificate authority (CA). To import a signed device certificate created from a CSR: 1. In the admin console, choose System > Configuration > Certificates > Device Certificates. 2. Under Certificate Signing Requests, click the Pending CSR link that corresponds to the signed certificate. 3. Under Import signed certificate, browse to the certificate file you received from the CA and then click Import.

Chapter 23: Certificates

Using intermediate server CA certificates

Within a certificate hierarchy, one or more intermediate certificates are branched off of a single root certificate. The root certificate is issued by a root certificate authority (CA) and is self-signed. Each intermediate certificates is issued by the certificate above it in the chain. If you are securing traffic using chained certificates, you must ensure that the IVE and Web browser together contain the entire certificate chain. For example, you may choose to secure traffic using a chain that stems from a Verisign root certificate. Assuming your users browsers come pre-loaded with Verisign root certificates, you only need to install the lower-level certificates in the chain on the IVE. Then, when your users browse to the IVE, the IVE presents any required certificates within the chain to the browser in order to secure the transaction. (The IVE creates the proper links in the chain using the root certificates IssuerDN.) If the IVE and browser together do not contain the entire chain, the users browser will not recognize or trust the IVEs device certificate since it is issued by another certificate instead of a trusted CA. For information about chained client certificates, see Enabling client CA hierarchies on page 614. When installing certificates through the IVE, you may install certificates in any order. The IVE supports uploading one or more intermediate CAs in a PEM file. To import an intermediate device certificate and private key: 1. In the admin console, choose System > Configuration > Certificates > Device Certificates. 2. Click the Intermediate Device CAs link at the top of the page. 3. Click Import CA certificate. 4. Browse to the CA certificate that you want to upload to the IVE and click Import Certificate.

Using multiple IVE device certificates

When using multiple IVE device certificates, each certificate handles validation for a separate host name or fully qualified domain name (FQDN) and may be issued by a different CA. You can use multiple root certificates in conjunction with multiple sign-in URLs. With the multiple sign-in URLs feature, you can provide access to the IVE from multiple host names by creating a different sign-in URL for each host name or FQDN. Then, you can create separate sign-in pages and authentication requirements for each sign-in URL. For more information, see Sign-in policies on page 181. With the multiple device certificates feature, you can use different certificates to validate users signing into each of those host names or FQDNs. For example, you can associate one certificate with the partners.yourcompany.com site and another with the employees.yourcompany.com site.

Task Summary: Enabling multiple device certificates

To enable multiple device certificates, you must: 1. Specify the IP addresses from which users may access the IVE and then create a virtual port for each. A virtual port activates an IP alias on a physical port. To create virtual ports for: Internal usersUse settings in the System > Network > Internal Port > Virtual Ports tab to create virtual ports for users such as employees who are signing into the IVE from inside your internal network. For instructions, see Configuring virtual ports on page 566. External usersUse settings in the System > Network > Port 1 > Virtual Ports tab to create virtual ports for users such as customers and partners who are signing into the IVE from outside of your internal network. For instructions, see Configuring virtual ports on page 566. 2. Upload your device certificates to the IVE. You can import certificates from the System > Configuration > Certificates > Device Certificates page of the admin console or the Maintenance > Import/Export > System Configuration page of the admin console. Upload one device certificate for each domain (host name) that you want to host on the IVE. For instructions, see Importing an existing root certificate and private key on page 601. 3. Specify which virtual ports the IVE should associate with the certificates using settings in the System > Configuration > Certificates > Device Certificates tab. When a user tries to sign into the IVE using the IP address defined in a virtual port, the IVE uses the certificate associated with the virtual port to initiate the SSL transaction. For instructions, see Associating a certificate with a virtual port on page 606.

Associating a certificate with a virtual port

If you choose to associate multiple host names with a single IVE, you must specify which certificates the IVE should use to validate users signing in to the different host names. Options include: Associate all host names with a single wildcard certificateWith this method, you use a single wildcard certificate to validate all users, regardless of which host name they use to sign into the IVE. A wildcard certificate includes a variable element in the domain name, making it possible for users signing in from multiple hosts to map to the same domain. For example, if you create a wildcard certificate for *.yourcompany.com, the IVE uses the same certificate to authenticate users who sign into employees.yourcompany.com as it does to authenticate users who sign into partners.yourcompany.com.

606

Using device certificates

Chapter 23: Certificates

Associate each host name with its own certificateWith this method, you associate different host names with different certificates. Since the IVE does not know the host name that the end-user uses to sign into the IVE, however, you must create a virtual port for each host name and then associate your certificates with the virtual ports. A virtual port activates an IP alias on a physical port. For example, you may choose to create two virtual ports on a single appliance, mapping the first virtual port to the IP address 10.10.10.1 (sales.yourcompany.com) and the second virtual port to the IP address 10.10.10.2 (partners.yourcompany.com). Then, you can associate each of these virtual ports with its own certificate, ensuring that the IVE authenticates different users through different certificates. To associate different certificates with different virtual ports: 1. In the admin console, navigate to the System > Network > Internal Port tab or Port 1 tab. Then, create your virtual ports using settings in the Virtual Ports page. 2. Import the device certificates that you want to use to validate user certificates. You can import certificates from the System > Configuration > Certificates > Device Certificates page of the admin console or the Maintenance > Import/Export > System Configuration page of the admin console. 3. On the System > Configuration > Certificates > Device Certificates page, click the link that corresponds to a certificate that you want to use to validate user certificates. 4. Under Present certificate on these ports, specify the port(s) that the IVE should associate with the certificateyou can choose internal or external ports and primary or virtual ports, but you cannot choose a port that is already associated with another certificate. 5. Click Save Changes. 6. Repeat steps 3-6 for each of the certificates that you want to use to authenticate users.

Using trusted client CAs

A trusted client CA is a client-side certificate issued by a certificate authority (CA). To use client CA certificates, you must install and enable the proper certificates on the IVE as well as install the corresponding client-side certificates in the Web browsers of your end-users. When validating users with CA certificates, the IVE checks that the certificate is not expired or corrupt and that the certificate is signed by a CA that the IVE recognizes. If the CA certificate is chained (described below) the IVE also follows the chain of issuers until it reaches the root CA, checking the validity of each issuer as it goes. The IVE supports X.509 CA certificates in DER and PEM encode formats.

Using trusted client CAs

607

Juniper Networks Secure Access Administration Guide

The IVE supports using the following additional features with CA certificates: Certificate serversA certificate server is a type of local authentication server that allows you to authenticate IVE users based solely on their certificate attributes rather than authenticating them against a standard authentication server (such as LDAP or RADIUS), as well as requiring specific certificates or certificate attributes. For more information, see Configuring a certificate server instance on page 105. Certificate hierarchiesWithin a certificate hierarchy, one or more subordinate certificates (called intermediate certificates) are branched off of a root certificate creating a certificate chain. Each intermediate certificate (also called a chained certificate) handles requests for a part of the root CAs domain. For example, you may create a root certificate that handles all requests to the yourcompany.com domain and then branch off intermediate certificates that handle requests to partners.yourcompany.com and employees.yourcompany.com. When you install a chained certificate on the IVE, the appliance confirms that the chain is valid and allows users to authenticate using the leaf certificate (that is, the lowest certificate in the chain). For more information, see Enabling client CA hierarchies on page 614. Certificate revocation listsCertificate revocation is a mechanism by which a CA invalidates a certificate before its expiration date. A certificate revocation list (CRL) is a list of revoked certificates published by a CA. Within CRLs, each entry contains the serial number of the revoked certificate, the date that the certificate was revoked, and the reason that the certificate was revoked. The CA may invalidate a certificate for various reasons such as the employee to whom the certificate is issued has left the company, the certificates private key is compromised, or the client-side certificate is lost or stolen. Once the CA revokes a certificate, the IVE can appropriately deny access to users who present a revoked certificate. For more information, see Enabling CRLs on page 615.

NOTE: If you have a user license, you can only install one root CA certificate on the

IVE and validate users using one corresponding client-side CA certificate.

Enabling trusted client CAs

If you require users to provide a client-side certificate to sign in to the IVE, you must upload the corresponding CA certificate into the IVE. You can upload CA certificates manually or configure the IVE to upload CA certificates automatically. The IVE uses the uploaded certificate to verify that the browser-submitted certificate is valid. In addition, you can specify whether or not to automatically import CA certificates for validation and the CRL/OCSP retrieval method the IVE uses when automatically importing the CA certificates.

608

Using trusted client CAs

Chapter 23: Certificates

NOTE:

When using client-side certificates, we strongly recommend that you advise your users to close their Web browsers after signing out of the IVE. If they do not, other users may be able to use their open browser sessions to access certificate-protected resources on the IVE without re-authentication. After loading a client-side certificate, both Internet Explorer and Netscape cache the certificates credentials and private key. The browsers keep this information cached until the user closes the browser (or in some cases, until the user reboots the workstation). For details, see: http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=290345.) To remind users to close their browsers, you may modify the sign out message in the Authentication > Signing In > Sign-in Pages tab. Uploading a CA certificate to the IVE does not enable client-side SSL authentication. You must either use a certificate server or enable certificate restrictions in the Administrators > Admin Realm > Select Realm > Authentication Policy > Certificate page or the Users > User Realms > Select Realm > Authentication Policy > Certificate page of the admin console in order to enable client-side SSL authentication. If you have just a standard IVE user license, you can only import one CA certificate to the IVE. When uploading a certificate chain to the IVE, you must either install the certificates one at a time in descending order starting with the root certificate (DER or PEM files), or you must upload a single file to the IVE that contains the entire certificate chain (PEM files only). By using one of these methods, you ensure that the IVE can link the certificates together in the correct order.

Specifying client-side certificate restrictions

Use a certificate restriction to require client machines to possess a valid client-side certificate in order to access an IVE sign-in page, be mapped to a role, or access a resource. If you use this feature, make sure that you import a CA certificate to verify the client-side certificate. To maximize the security of this feature, make sure that a users client settings are set to require the user to enter a password each time the user signs in. The default setting for some browser versions is to remember the certificate password, which means the user wont be prompted for this additional sign-in information after installing the certificate. To specify certificate restrictions: 1. Navigate to: System > Configuration > Certificates > Trusted Client CAs and specify the root certificate authority that you want to use to validate the client-side certificate restrictions that you enable at the realm, role, and resource policy levels. 2. Select the level at which you want to implement certificate restrictions: Realm levelNavigate to: Administrators > Admin Realms > Select Realm > Authentication Policy > Certificate Users > User Realms > Select Realm > Authentication Policy > Certificate Role levelNavigate to: Administrators > Admin Roles > Select Role > General > Restrictions > Certificate Users > User Realms > Select Realm > Role Mapping > Select|Create Rule > Custom Expression Users > User Roles > Select Role > General > Restrictions > Certificate Resource policy levelNavigate to: Users > Resource Policies > Select Resource > Select Policy > Detailed Rules > Select|Create Rule > Condition Field 3. Choose one of the following options: Allow all users (no client-side certificate required) Does not require a users client to have a client-side certificate. Allow all users and remember certificate information while user is signed in Does not require a users client to have a client-side certificate, but if the client does have a certificate, the IVE remembers the certificate information during the entire user session.

Juniper Networks Secure Access Administration Guide

Only allow users with a client-side certificate signed by Trusted Client CAs to sign in Requires a users client to have a client-side certificate in order to satisfy the access management requirement. To restrict access even further, you can define unique certificate attribute-value pairs. Note that the users certificate must have all the attributes you define. 4. Add a certificate field name and an expected value to optionally require specific values in the client certificate. You can specify variables in the Expected Value field. For example, you can add the value uid to the Certificate field and <userAttr.uid> to the Expected Value field.

NOTE: The user attribute can come from any authentication server that supports attributes. Any attribute name specified in a certificate restriction must be included in the server catalog so the values are collected during authentication and added to the session context data.

5. Click Save Changes to save your settings.

NOTE:

The IVE supports all X.509 Distinguished Name (DN) attributes (such as C, CN, L, O, OU). The attribute and value fields are not case-sensitive. Define only one value for each attribute. If you specify multiple values, the client-side certificate may not authenticate correctly against the CA certificate. The IVE currently recognizes an e-mail address in the subjectAltName attribute in a certificate. The IVE can extract the User Principal Name (UPN) from the subjectAltName attribute. The IVE locates a specific UPN Object Identifier (OID) in the certificate and decodes the value. To represent the UPN in the subjectAltName attribute, use the token <certAttr.altName.UPN>.

Enabling client CA hierarchies

Within a certificate hierarchy, one or more intermediate certificates are branched off of a single root certificate. The root certificate is issued by a root certificate authority (CA) and is self-signed. Each intermediate certificate is issued by the certificate above it in the chain. To enable authentication in a chained certificate environment, you must install the appropriate client-side certificates in each users Web browser and then upload the corresponding CA certificates to the IVE.

614

Using trusted client CAs

Chapter 23: Certificates

NOTE: With a user license, you cannot install a chain whose certificates are issued

by different CAs. The CA that signs the lowest-level certificate in the chain must also sign all other certificates in the chain. For information about chained device certificates, see Using intermediate server CA certificates on page 605. You can install client CAs through the System > Configuration > Certificates > Trusted Client CAs page of the admin console. When uploading the certificate chain to the IVE, you must use one of the following methods: Import the entire certificate chain at onceWhen installing a chain of certificates contained in a single file, the IVE imports the root certificate and any sub-certificates whose parents are in the file or on the IVE. You can include certificates in any order in the import file. Import the certificates one at a time in descending orderWhen installing a chain of certificates contained in multiple files, the IVE requires that you install the root certificate first, and then install the remaining chained certificates in descending order. When you install chained certificates using one of these methods, the IVE automatically chains the certificates together in the correct order and displays them hierarchically in the admin console.
NOTE: If you install multiple certificates in a users Web browser, the browser prompts the user to choose which certificate to use whenever he signs into the IVE.

Enabling CRLs
A certificate revocation list (CRL) is a mechanism for cancelling a client-side certificate. As the name implies, a CRL is a list of revoked certificates published by a CA or delegated CRL issuer. The IVE supports base CRLs, which include all of the companys revoked certificates in a single, unified list. The IVE knows which CRL to use by checking the clients certificate. (When issuing a certificate, the CA includes CRL information for the certificate in the certificate itself.) To ensure that it receives the most up-to-date CRL information, the IVE periodically contacts a CRL distribution point to get an updated list of revoked certificates. A CRL distribution point (CDP) is a location on an LDAP directory server or Web server where a CA publishes CRLs. The IVE downloads CRL information from the CDP at the interval specified in the CRL, at the interval that you specify during CRL configuration, and when you choose to manually download the CRL. The IVE also supports CRL partitioning. CRL partitioning enables you to verify portions of very large CRLs without having to spend the time and bandwidth necessary to access and validate a very large CRL or collection of large CRLs. CRL partitioning is only enabled on the IVE when you employ the Specify the CDP(s) in the client certificates method (described below). In this case, the IVE validates the user by verifying only the CRL specified in the client certificate.

Using trusted client CAs

615

Juniper Networks Secure Access Administration Guide

Although CAs include CRL information in client-side certificates, they do not always include CDP information, as well. A CA may use any of the following methods to notify the IVE of a certificates CDP location: Specify the CDP(s) in the CA certificateWhen the CA issues a CA certificate, it may include an attribute specifying the location of the CDP(s) that the IVE should contact. If more than one CDP is specified, the IVE chooses the first one listed in the certificate and then fails over to subsequent CDPs, if necessary. Specify the CDP(s) in the client certificatesWhen the CA issues client-side certificates, it may include an attribute specifying the location of the CDP(s) that the IVE should contact. If more than one CDP is specified, the IVE chooses the first one listed in the certificate and then fails over to subsequent CDPs, if necessary. When the IVE employs CRL partitioning and the client certificate specifies only one CRL, the IVE performs verification using only that CRL.
NOTE: If you choose this method, the user receives an error the first time he tries to sign into the IVE because no CRL information is available. Once the IVE recognizes the clients certificate and extracts the CRL location, it can start downloading the CRL and subsequently validate the users certificate. In order to successfully sign into the IVE, the user must try to reconnect after a few seconds.

Require the administrator to manually enter the CDP locationIf the CA does not include the CDP location in the client or CA certificates, you must manually specify how to download the entire CRL object when configuring the IVE. You may specify a primary and backup CDP. (Manually entering the CDP location provides the greatest flexibility because you do not need to reissue certificates if you change your CDP location.) The IVE checks the users certificate against the appropriate CRL during authentication. If it determines that the users certificate is valid, the IVE caches the certificate attributes and applies them if necessary during role and resource policy checks. If it determines that the users certificate is invalid, if it cannot contact the appropriate CRL, or if the CRL is expired, the IVE denies the user access. You can configure CRL checking through the System > Configuration > Certificates > Trusted Client CAs page of the admin console.
NOTE:

The IVE only supports CRLs that are in a PEM or DER format and that are signed by the CA for which the revocations apply. The IVE only saves the first CRL in a PEM file. The IVE does not support the Issuing Distribution Point (IDP) CRL extension.

Specifying CDP options

If you selected either Use CRLs or Use OCSP with CRL fallback in the procedures outlined in Specifying attributes for the trusted client CA certificate on page 611, you can enable and periodically download certificate revocation lists (CRL) from CRL distribution points (CDPs) in order to verify the ongoing validity of client-side certificates. 1. In the admin console, choose System > Configuration > Certificates > Trusted Client CAs. 2. Click the link that corresponds to the certificate for which you want to enable CRL checking.
NOTE: Since the IVE supports CRL partitioning, you may see multiple CRLs displayed under CRL distribution points. This is because the partitioned portions of a revocation list are not identified individually, but referred to as the CDP from which they are derived.

3. Click CRL Checking Options. The CRL Checking Options page appears. 4. Under CRL Distribution Points, specify where the IVE should find access information for the CDP. Options include: No CDP (no CRL Checking)When you select this option, the IVE does not check CRLs issued by the CA, so you do not need to enter any parameters to access the CDP that issued the CRL. CDP(s) specified in the Trusted Client CA When you select this option, the IVE checks the CRL distribution point attribute in the certificate and displays the URIs of the CDPs that it finds in the CRL Checking Options page. If the CA certificate does not include all of the information required to access the CDP, specify the additional required information: CDP Server: (LDAP only)Enter the location of the CDP server. When using LDAP protocol, enter the IP address or host name (for example, ldap.domain.com). CRL Attribute: (LDAP only)Enter the LDAP attribute on the object that contains the CRL (for example, CertificateRevocationList). Admin DN, Password: (LDAP only)If the CDP server does not allow anonymous searches of the CRL, enter the admin DN and password that are required to authenticate into the CDP server. CDP(s) specified in client certificatesIf the client certificate does not include all of the information required to access the CDP, specify the additional required information: CDP Server (LDAP only)Enter the location of the CDP server. When using LDAP protocol, enter the IP address or host name (for example, ldap.domain.com). CRL Attribute (LDAP only)Enter the LDAP attribute on the object that contains the CRL (for example, CertificateRevocationList).

Admin DN, Password (LDAP only)If the CDP server does not allow anonymous searches of the CRL, enter the admin DN and password that are required to authenticate into the CDP server. Manually configured CDPWhen you select this option, the IVE accesses the CDP that you specify. Enter the URL of the primary CDP and optionally of a backup CDP. For an LDAP server, use the syntax: ldap://Server/BaseDN?attribute?Scope?Filter. For a Web server, enter the complete path to the CRL object. For example: http://domain.com/CertEnroll/CompanyName%20CA%20Server.crl Additionally, if the CDP server does not allow anonymous searches of the CRL, enter the admin DN and password that are required to authenticate into the CDP server. (LDAP only)
NOTE: If you choose to download CDPs using one method and then select a different method, the IVE deletes any CDPs from disk that were downloaded using the previous method.

5. In the CRL Download Frequency field, specify how often the IVE should download the CRL from the CDP. The allowable range is from 1 to 9999 hours. 6. Click Save Changes. 7. If you want to check the validity of your CA certificate (in addition to client-side certificates) against the CRL specified in the previous steps, select Verify Trusted Client CA on the Trusted Client CA page.
NOTE:

When you choose to verify an intermediate certificate, make sure that CRLs are available for all of the CA certificates that are above the intermediate certificate in the chainwhen verifying a CA certificate, the IVE also verifies all issuing CAs above the certificate in the chain. If you select this option but do not enable CRL checking, the IVE checks the CA certificate against the CDP for the CAs issuer. If no CRL is enabled for the issuer, user authentication fails. 8. Click Save Changes. The IVE downloads the CRL using the method you specified (if applicable) and displays CRL checking details (described in the following section). 9.

Enabling OCSP
The Online Certification Status Protocol (OCSP) offers you the ability to verify client certificates in real-time. Using OCSP, the IVE becomes a client of an OCSP responder and forwards validation requests for users, based on client certificates. The OCSP responder maintains a store of CA-published CRLs and maintains an upto-date list of valid and invalid client certificates. Once the OCSP responder receives a validation request from the IVE (which is commonly an HTTP or HTTPS transmission), the OCSP responder either validates the status of the certificate using its own authentication database or calls upon the OCSP responder that originally issued the certificate to validate the request. After formulating a response, the OCSP responder returns the signed response to the IVE and the original certificate is either approved or rejected, based on whether or not the OCSP responder validates the certificate. This section contains the following OCSP instructions: Specifying OCSP options on page 619 Specifying OCSP responder options on page 620

Specifying OCSP options

If you selected either Use OCSP or Use OCSP with CRL fallback in the procedures specified in Specifying attributes for the trusted client CA certificate on page 611, the IVE displays a list of known OCSP responders and enables you to configure OCSP responder options: 1. Delete, enable, or disable OCSP Responder configuration using the Delete, Enable, or Disable buttons, respectively. 2. If you want to configure OCSP options, click OCSP Options. The OCSP Options page appears. 3. Specify the type of OCSP responder the IVE uses to validate trusted client CAs in the Use drop-down list: NoneThe IVE does not use OCSP to verify the status of certificates issued by this CA.

4. Under the Options section, specify whether or not the IVE signs the certificate validation request with an identifier and whether or not the IVE uses Nonce during verification.
NOTE: A nonce is random data the IVE includes in an OCSP request and the OCSP Responder returns in the OCSP response. The IVE compares the nonce in the request and response to ensure that the response is generated by the OCSP responder. If the two do not match, the IVE disregards the response and sends a new request. Nonces are a common way of prevent replay attacks.

5. Click Save Changes.

Specifying OCSP responder options

To specify OCSP Responder Signer Certificate options for one or more OCSP responders: 1. Click the name of the OCSP responder you want to configure in the OCSP responders list. The option specification page for the OCSP responder appears. 2. Browse to the network path or local directory location of a Responder Signer Certificate. This is the certificate the OCSP responder uses to sign the response. You must specify the Responder Signer Certificate if the signer certificate is not included in the response. 3. If you want to allow an OCSP responder certificate that matches the responder signer certificate, activate the Trust Responder Certificate checkbox. 4. Enable the Revocation Checking option to ensure that the certificate the IVE and OCSP responder are using has not recently been revoked. This option only has any implications if you specified the Use OCSP with CRL fallback option in the procedures outlined in Specifying attributes for the trusted client CA certificate on page 611. 5. Specify a clock discrepancy value in the Allow clock discrepancy field to account for possible mismatches in timestamps between the IVE and the OCSP responder. If the mismatch is significant enough, the IVE simply disregards the response from the OCSP responder as out-of-date or expired. 6. Click Save Changes.

Using trusted server CAs

If you have a Web browsing license, you may validate the credentials of the Web sites that users access through the IVE appliance. You must simply install the CA certificate of the Web servers that you trust on the IVE appliance.

NOTE: All of the trusted root CAs for the Web certificates installed in Internet Explorer 6.0 and Windows XP service pack 2 are pre-installed on the IVE appliance.

Then, whenever a user visits an SSL-enabled Web site, the IVE appliance verifies that: The Web sites certificate is issued by one of the trusted root CA chains installed on the IVE appliance. The Web sites certificate is not expired. The Web sites certificate Subject CN value matches the actual host name of the accessed URL. (Note that the IVE appliance allows the Subject CN value to contain wildcards in the format: *.company.com.) If any of these conditions are not met, the IVE appliance logs a major event to the user access log and allows or denies the user access to the Web site based on rolelevel settings that you have configured through the Users > User Roles > Select Role > Web > Options tab of the admin console. (If you do not configure these settings, the IVE appliance warns the user that the Web sites certificate is invalid, but still allows him to access the site.)

(Note that the IVE does not support CRL checking for trusted server CA certificates.)

Using code-signing certificates

When the IVE intermediates a signed Java applet, the IVE re-signs the applet with a self-signed certificate by default. This certificate is issued by a non-standard trusted root CA. As a result, if a user requests a potentially high-risk applet (such as an applet that accesses network servers), the users Web browser alerts him that the root is untrusted. If you import a code-signing certificate to the IVE, the IVE uses the imported certificate to re-sign applets instead of the default self-signed certificate. As a result, if a user requests a potentially high-risk applet, the users Web browser displays an informational message instead of a warning. The message informs the user that the applet is signed by a trusted authority.

Using code-signing certificates

623

Juniper Networks Secure Access Administration Guide

The IVE supports the following types of code-signing certificates: Microsoft Authenticode Certificate The IVE uses this certificate to sign applets that run on either MS JVM or SUN JVM. Note that we only support Microsoft Authenticode Certificates issued by Verisign. You may purchase Microsoft Authenticode Certificates at the following location:
http://www.verisign.com/products-services/security-services/codesigning/index.html

JavaSoft CertificateThe IVE uses this certificate to sign applets that run on SUN JVM. Note that we only support JavaSoft Certificates issued by Verisign and Thawte. When deciding which code-signing certificate to import, consider the following browser dependencies: Internet ExplorerInternet Explorer running on new computers shipped with Windows XP pre-installed typically runs the SUN JVM, which means that the IVE needs to re-sign applets using the JavaSoft certificate. Internet Explorer running on a Windows 98 or Windows 2000 PC, or a PC that has been upgraded to Windows XP, typically runs the MS JVM, which means that the IVE needs to re-sign applets using the Authenticode certificate. Netscape, Firefox, and SafariThese browsers only support the SUN JVM, which means that the IVE needs to re-sign applets using the JavaSoft certificate.

NOTE: If you create IVS systems, you can also import code-signing certificates for each IVS. You must navigate to each IVS system, using the IVS system drop down menu in the admin console header, then import the code-signing certificate for each IVS on the System > Configuration > Certificates > Code-signing Certificates page.

Using code-signing certificates

Chapter 23: Certificates

Additional considerations for SUN JVM users

By default, the Java Plug-in caches an applet along with the code-signing certificate presented when a user accesses the applet. This behavior means that even after importing a code-signing certificate to the IVE, the browser continues to present applets with the original certificate. To ensure that SUN JVM users are not prompted with an untrusted certificate for applets accessed prior to importing a code-signing certificate, users need to flush the Java Plug-in cache. Alternatively, users can disable the cache, but this option may impact performance since the applet needs to be fetched each time the user accesses it. The Java Plug-in maintains its own list of trusted Web server certificates that is different from the browsers list of trusted certificates. When a user accesses an applet, the SUN JVM makes its own connection (in addition to the browser) to the Web server on which the applet resides. The user is then presented with the option to accept the Web server certificate in addition to the code-signing certificate. In these cases, the user needs to select the Always Trust button for the Web server certificate. Due to a built-in timeout in the Java Plug-in, if the user waits too long to select this button for the Web server certificate, the applet does not load.

The IVE provides different ways to backup and restore configuration files containing user and system data. The IVE utilities you can use to backup and restore data preserve the configuration data in two different formats: binary and XML. The method you choose to use depends on your requirements. Using IVE configuration file management features, you can import, export, save, archive, and push configuration files as described in the sections that follow: Licensing: System archiving availability on page 627 Archiving IVE binary configuration files on page 628 Creating local backups of IVE configuration files on page 630 Importing and exporting IVE configuration files on page 632 Importing and exporting XML configuration files on page 635 Strategies for working with XML instances on page 646 Pushing configurations from one IVE to another on page 656

Archiving IVE binary configuration files

The IVE enables you to use SCP (Secure Copy) or FTP to automatically archive a binary copy of your system logs, configuration files, and user accounts on a daily or weekly basis. The IVE encrypts the configuration files and user accounts to ensure secure transmission and secure storage on other servers, and then archives the files to the server and directory you specify on the chosen day(s) and time. SCP is a file transfer utility similar to FTP. SCP encrypts all data during transfer. When the data reaches its destination, it is rendered in its original format. SCP is included in most SSH distributions, and is available on all major operating system platforms. The name of archive files includes the archive date and time, as follows: System events: JuniperAccessLog-hostname-date-time User events: JuniperEventsLog-hostname-date-time Administrator events: JuniperAdminLog-hostname-date-time System configuration files: JuniperConf-hostname-date-time User accounts: JuniperUserAccounts-hostname-date-time To specify archive parameters: 1. In the admin console, choose Maintenance > Archiving > Archiving Servers. 2. Under Archive Settings, specify the destination server, a directory, and your credentials for that server. Do not include a drive specification for the destination directory, such as: juniper/log. For UNIX computers, although you can specify an absolute or relative path, depending on the users home directory, we recommend using a full path instead. For Windows computers, specify a path that is relative to the ftproot directory. We recommend using a full path to the directory. 3. For Method, specify SCP or FTP. SCP is the default method. 4. Under Archive Schedule, specify one or more of the following components to archive by enabling its associated checkbox: Archive events log (For more information, see Logging and Monitoring overview on page 664.) Archive user access log (For more information, see Logging and Monitoring overview on page 664.) Archive admin access log (For more information, see Logging and Monitoring overview on page 664.)

Through the options for each component, schedule archives on any combination of weekdays including weekends.
NOTE: If you schedule an archival operation to occur during the hour that your system switches to Daylight Savings Time (DST) the operation may not occur as scheduled. For example, if your system is set to change to DST at 1:00 a.m. and you have scheduled an archival operation to occur at anytime between 1:01 a.m. and 1:59 a.m., the operation is not accomplished, because at 1:00 a.m. the system clock is moved forward to 2:00 a.m. and the system never reaches your archival time for that date.

6. Define a specific time when you want the IVE to archive data or elect to archive data every hour, which produces twenty-four files with unique timestamps. 7.

Creating local backups of IVE configuration files

IVE appliances equipped with the Advanced license enable you to save backups of your current system configuration and user accounts directly to the IVE in binary format. You may then use these configurations to restore the IVE or a cluster of IVEs to the state contained in the encrypted file. Note that these files only contain configuration informationthey do not include logs.

NOTE: During an import operation to a cluster node, the sync rank of the node may change temporarily to allow the propagation of the imported data to all nodes. The sync rank will be returned to its original value after the import operation is complete.

You may save up to 5 system configuration backups and 5 user account backups on the IVE. If you try to exceed this limit, the IVE overwrites the oldest backup with the new backup. If you do not want to overwrite the oldest backup, choose another backup to delete instead, before saving the most current one. To save your current system configuration: 1. In the admin console, choose Maintenance > Archiving > Local Backups. 2. Click Save Configuration or Save User Accounts. The IVE adds a new backup to the list, naming it with the current date and time. You may use system and user backups to update a single IVE or a cluster. If you choose to restore an IVE that is enabled as part of a cluster, that IVE automatically pushes the configuration to all other cluster members. The cluster is disabled until all cluster members have updated their settings using the backup configuration. Then, they restart and re-enable the cluster. You can save a backup of your current configuration or to restore your system or user account state from a backup, as explained in Creating local backups of IVE configuration files on page 630. To override your configuration with settings from a backup file: 1. In the admin console, choose Maintenance > Archiving > Local Backups. 2. Select the checkbox next to the system configuration or user account backup file that you want to use to restore your system.

3. If you are restoring from a system configuration, indicate whether or not you want to use the certificate, IP address, and network settings contained in the configuration file.

NOTE:

If you are upgrading an entire cluster, you should use caution when including network settings. Since IP addresses and other settings may not apply to all members of the cluster, cluster members may not be able to communicate with one another if the settings are pushed out to all members. If you are upgrading an Secure Access FIPS system, you must choose a certificate that uses a FIPS-compliant private key if you choose to import a certificate. To ensure FIPS-compliance, select a certificate and corresponding security world private keys were generated on an Secure Access FIPS system. 4. Click Restore. The IVE must restart before changes can take effect. After the IVE restarts, you must sign back in to the IVE in order to access the admin console. To save a local backup of your IVS configuration files: 1. In the admin console, choose Maintenance > Archiving > Local Backups. 2. Click Save IVS. The resulting backup includes: IVS Profiles IVS System IVS Authentication IVS Administrators IVS Users IVS Resource Policies IVS Maintenance 3. When restoring, if you want to include IVS network settings, select IVS Profile Network Settings, then click Restore. By selecting the IVS Profile Network Settings you can import references to VLAN ports and virtual ports in the imported IVS profiles. For more information on IVS export and import, see Performing export and import of IVS configuration files on page 785.

Importing and exporting IVE configuration files

The IVE enables you to import and export IVE system and network settings using binary IVE configuration files. When importing a system configuration file, you can exclude the device certificate and the IVE servers IP address or network settings from the imported information. For example, to set up multiple IVEs behind a load balancer, import everything except for the IP address. To set up an IVE as a backup server, import everything except for the digital certificate and the network settings.
NOTE:

When importing a configuration file that contains licenses, the IVE gives precedence to any existing licenses that are currently installed on the IVE. Archived licenses are only imported if no licenses currently exist on the IVE. You may import an Secure Access FIPS configuration file into a non-Secure Access FIPS machine and vice versa provided that you do not include the certificate and security world in the import process. When importing certificates, note that the IVE only imports device certificatesnot the chains corresponding to the device certificates or trusted client CAs. The IVE also enables you to import and export all local user accounts you have defined for any local authentication servers.
NOTE:

If you want to export resource policies, you must export user accounts, not the system settings. You can export resource policies on the Maintenance > Import/Export > Import/Export Users tab. For more information, see Exporting local user accounts or resource policies on page 634. To export or import client-side logs, export or import both the system and user configuration files. Sensor configurations are included the system configuration file while sensor event policies are included in the user configuration file. To export or import sensor-related configuration to an IVE, export or import both the system and user configuration files. The user configuration file, not the system configuration file, includes resource profiles, resource policies, and the local user database. To perform a complete backup, export both the system and user configuration files.

NOTE: When exporting an Secure Access FIPS configuration file, note that information about the machines security world is included in the file. Therefore, you need an administrator card that is associated with the security world in order to successfully import the configuration file into another machine.

Importing a system configuration file

To import a configuration file: 1. Choose Maintenance > Import/Export > Configuration in the admin console. 2. Specify whether you want to import the IVE device certificate. The certificate is not imported unless you check the Import Device Certificate(s)? checkbox.
NOTE: When importing a device certificate in to an Secure Access FIPS system, note that you must choose a certificate that uses a FIPS-compliant private key. To ensure FIPS-compliance, select a certificate and corresponding security world private keys were generated on an Secure Access FIPS system.

3. Choose one of the following import options. Import everything (except Device Certificate(s))This option imports all configuration setting except IVE device certificates.

Import everything but the IP addressThis option excludes only the IP address from the imported configuration file. If you exclude the IP address, the servers IP address does not change when you import the file. When you select this option, the IVE also imports any SNMP settings that you have defined. In other words, choosing this option preserves the IP address, netmask, and default gateway of the network interfaces on the target device.
NOTE: Imported values overwrite the VIPs associated with the internal, external and managment ports. If the imported VIPs are in different IP subnets relative to the underlying network interfaces, you must reconfigure the VIPs after the import.

Imported values overwrite the static routes in the route tables associated with the internal, external and management ports. Since the imported routes correspond to a different backend network, you must update the static routes in the route tables after importing the data. Import everything except network settings and licensesThis option imports all configuration settings except the network settings. If you exclude the network settings, the information on the System > Network page (internal port, external port, and static route settings) does not change when you import the file. When you select this option, network configurations, licenses, cluster configurations, certificates, defined SNMP settings and syslog configurations are not imported. Import only Device Certificate(s)This option imports only the IVE server certificates. Be sure to enable the Import Device Certificate(s)? checkbox when using this option. 4. Browse to the configuration file, which is named system.cfg by default. 5. Enter the password you specified for the file. If you did not specify a password before exporting the file, then leave this field blank. 6. Click Import Config.
NOTE: When importing a device certificate and corresponding security world in to an Secure Access FIPS machine, you must finish initializing the security world using the serial console and an administrator card that is associated with the new, imported security world. For more information, see Creating a new security world on page 832.

Importing and exporting XML configuration files

The XML Import/Export feature enables you to make significant changes to your system configuration and provides a number of benefits, particularly when it comes to making a large number of repetitive changes, or when you want to add, update, and delete configuration data all at once. Some of the tasks you might want to perform using exported XML configuration files include: Adding a large number of users. Deleting all or many of your auth servers, users, or other IVE objects. Tracking configuration changes by performing a diff on weekly exports. Modifying multiple instances of a single setting, for example, an auth server name. Creating a configuration template to use when setting up new IVE appliances.

Juniper Networks Secure Access Administration Guide

NOTE: You can only export and import XML instance files between IVEs that have

the same version of the IVE system software. You cannot use the XML Import/Export feature to upgrade an older product release from configuration files exported from a new product release. You also cannot downgrade a newer product release using configuration files exported from an older release of the product. The IVE enables you to export several types of configuration data, including some network settings, sign-in settings, auth servers, realms, roles, resource policies, and users. You can then import those settings into the same or another IVE. You can export XML configuration files containing settings in the following list. Additional settings may also be available.

NOTE: If you are running the IVE with an IVS license, XML Import/Export is not supported. For more information on how to export and import on an IVS, see Performing export and import of IVS configuration files on page 785.

Network SettingsNetwork Connect server IP address, nodes, node identifiers, DNS servers, DNS domains, hosts, NICs, NIC identifiers, virtual port addresses, source IP aliases, ARP cache, ARP ping timeout, default gateway, IP address, MTU, NIC name, net mask, static routes, link speed, NIC type, host name, licenses, and WINS address.

NOTE: You must never modify the two NIC identifiers in the XML instance file. The

IVE relies on knowing that each appliance has two interface cards, known as NIC0 and NIC1. The identifiers appear in the NIC elements <NICIdentifier>0</NICIdentifier> and
<NICIdentifier>1</NICIdentifier>.

Sign-in SettingsAuthentication servers, password options, password management options, standard sign-in pages, custom text, header options, custom error messages, help options, page name, sign-in URLs, and page type.
NOTE: You can only export standard sign-in pages. You cannot export custom sign-in pages.

The basic process for exporting and importing an XML configuration file is as follows: 1. Choose the configuration settings you want to modify. 2. Export the file from the IVE. 3. Open the file and edit configuration data in a text editor. 4. Save and close the file. 5. Import the file to the IVE. You can learn more about XML configuration files and how to use them in the sections that follow: Creating and modifying XML instances on page 637 Strategies for working with XML instances on page 646 Strategies for working with XML instances on page 646 XML import modes on page 643 XML Import/Export use cases on page 650 Importing to a system with the Management Port on page 656

Creating and modifying XML instances

When you export your configuration file, the IVE saves the file as an XML instance. The instance is the file you will modify.
637

Importing and exporting XML configuration files

Juniper Networks Secure Access Administration Guide

The XML instance

Upon export, the instance file shows you the current state of the IVE configuration. The XML instance is based on an XML schema. The schema is a separate file that defines the metadata, and which serves as a model or a template for the instance file. You will only use the schema file for reference purposes, if at all. The data in the instance file is based on the selections you make on the XML Import/Export tab in the admin console when you perform the export operation. Instance files usually end with the .xml file extension.

Creating an instance file

You can create an instance file by exporting an XML configuration file from the IVE. Even if you want to replace all of your existing configuration settings for a given object, you should start with an exported instance file. The exported instance file contains all of the required XML processing instructions and namespace declarations, which must be included exactly as defined. To export an XML configuration file, see Strategies for working with XML instances on page 646.

Editing the instance file

All of the IVEs XML instance files share a similar structure. Once you become familiar with the basic structure, you should be able to navigate the files easily. The files can become large, so you might find it more efficient to use a commercial or open source XML editor. XML editors often separate the editable data from the structural display. This separation reduces or eliminates the chance of accidentally modifying an XML element rather than its data, which is possible when editing in a simple text editor. Despite the potential advantages of using an XML editor, you can do an adequate job of editing your configuration data using a simple text editor.

Instance elements
An element is a discrete XML unit that defines an IVE object or part of an object. The element typically consists of a pair of tags that may or may not surround string data. Tags are delimited by angle brackets (< >). You can find several examples of tags in the following discussion. Every tag fits into one of four tag types: XML processing instructionA special form of tag that starts with an angle bracket and a question mark (<?) and occurs at the beginning of each XML document. You should never modify the XML processing instruction. Start tagDefines the beginning of an element. The start tag consists of an open angle bracket (<), a name, zero or more attributes, and a close angle bracket (>). Every start tag must be followed by an end tag at some point in the document.

638

Importing and exporting XML configuration files

Chapter 24: System archiving

End tagDefines the end of an element. The end tag consists of an open angle bracket and a forward slash (</), followed by the same name defined in its corresponding start tag, and ends with a close angle bracket (>). Empty tagThe empty tag is denoted in two forms. If a tag pair has no data between them, the tag pair is considered an empty tag. Officially, according to the XML specification, an empty tag looks something like this:
<empty tag example/>

In this form, the empty tag consists of an open angle bracket (<), followed by an element name, a slash and a close angle bracket (/>). When you see an empty tag in your configuration files, it signifies an element that the schema requires to be included in the instance file, but whose data is optional. Start tags can contain attributes, and tag pairs (elements) can contain additional elements. The following example shows an XML instance file for the Users object. In this example, you see only the IVE Platform Administrator configuration settings. Bolded comments in the example describe the tag details. Italicized items signify user data.
<!-- The file starts with the XML processing instruction. The next line is an example of namespace declarations. You should never delete or modify the XML processing instruction or namespace declarations. --> <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no" ?> <IVE xmlns="http://xml.juniper.net/iveos/5.1R1/ive"> <AAA> <!-- Start tag --> <Users> <User> <AuthServerName>Administrators</AuthServerName> <Email /> <!-- Empty tag --> <FullName>IVE Platform Administrator</FullName> <LoginName>admin</LoginName> <Password PasswordFormat="Encrypted"> jiqYRG5GAgABA== </Password> <!-- Attribute defined in start tag --> <ChangePasswordAtNextLogin>false </ChangePasswordAtNextLogin> <QuarantineRoleList /> <UserStatus>Enabled</UserStatus> <UserType>NormalUser</UserType> </User> </Users> <!-- End tag --> </AAA> </IVE> <!-- End tag for namespace declaration -->

You make your changes to the string data that appears between start and end tags. For example, from the preceding example, you can add to or change the following elements:
<AuthServerName>Administrators</AuthServerName> <Email /> <FullName>IVE Platform Administrator</FullName>

Importing and exporting XML configuration files

639

Juniper Networks Secure Access Administration Guide

<LoginName>admin</LoginName> <Password PasswordFormat="Plaintext">password</Password> <ChangePasswordAtNextLogin>false</ChangePasswordAtNextLogin>

NOTE: If you change a user for a given auth server or an auth server for a given user, you are creating a different user, not updating an existing user or auth server. User and auth server together logically define a unique user.

The Email element is blank, which means that although the schema requires the inclusion of the Email element in the instance file, its value is optional. You can add an email address or leave it blank. The instance file in the preceding sample displays the Password elements data as encrypted data, with the PasswordFormat set to Encrypted, indicating that you cannot change the password value. By default, the XML export operation provides encrypted passwords with a PasswordFormat set to Encrypted. You can modify the password, if you change the PasswordFormat to Plaintext. If you modify the password in the instance file, the password value is visible until it is imported back into the IVE. Once imported, the IVE encrypts the password. If you enter passwords for new users in plaintext format, the passwords are visible in the instance file, therefore, you might consider setting the Change Password at Next Login option to true.
NOTE:

Because passwords are encrypted by default, they are fully portable from one system to another. You should never attempt to encrypt a password manually in the XML file. The IVE rejects any attempt to do so. Use the plaintext PasswordFormat and enter a plaintext password when changing passwords through the XML file.

Attributes
Attributes are pieces of information that refine an element definition. The elements start tag can include attributes. Attribute values are delimited by double quotes. The following example shows the password element from the Users instance file. The password format is defined as an attribute of the element:
<Password PasswordFormat="Encrypted">fEm3Qs6qBwBQ==</Password>

You can change the value Encrypted to one of the other allowable values. Although you can often find allowable values for an attribute on the admin console, for this example, you need to review the users.xsd schema file to identify the allowable values as Plaintext, Encrypted, and Base64.
NOTE: You can download the schema (.xsd) files from the XML Import/Export

pages. For more information, see Downloading the schema file on page 645.

640

Importing and exporting XML configuration files

Chapter 24: System archiving

Namespaces
Namespaces allow you to use the same words or labels in your code from different contexts or XML vocabularies. Prefixing elements with namespace qualifiers allows an instance file to include references to different objects that originate in different XML vocabularies and that share the same name. If you do not prefix elements with namespace qualifiers, the namespace is the default XML namespace and you refer to element type names in that namespace without a prefix. A namespace declaration looks like:
<IVE xmlns="http://xml.juniper.net/iveos/5.0R1">

When you see namespace identifiers in your instance files, you do not need to be concerned about them, as long as you do not delete or modify the identifiers.

Element sequence
You should avoid changing the sequence of elements in the instance file, whenever possible. Although the schema does not enforce sequence in all cases, you gain no benefit from changing the order of elements from the order in which they appear in the exported instance file, and, in some cases, you might invalidate an instance document by changing element sequence.

Referential integrity constraints

IVE configuration objects are part of a data model that is enforced through the use of referential integrity constraints. You cannot change these constraints, but you should understand them before you attempt to delete objects that maintain dependencies to other objects. If you violate the IVE referential integrity constraints, your import operation fails. The following diagram illustrates the relationships among several IVE objects.
Figure 45: IVE object referential integrity constraints

In Figure 45 the boxes represent IVE object types and the arrows represent dependent relationships between the object types. Arrows point from dependent objects to objects. The system does not allow you to delete an object upon which another object depends. Conversely, when you add an object, you must add any other objects upon which that object depends.

Importing and exporting XML configuration files

641

Juniper Networks Secure Access Administration Guide

In Figure 45, sign-in URLs depend upon realms and sign-in pages. Realms depend upon both auth servers and roles. Policies depend upon roles. Users depend upon auth servers. Consider the following scenarios based on Figure 45: If you add sign-in URLs, you must add realms, sign-in pages, roles, and auth servers. You need to add an auth server and at least one role to support the realm, and you need to add the realm and the sign-in page to support the new sign-in URL. If you add a user, you must be able to assign it to an auth server. If there is no auth server on the target IVE yet, you must add one in the instance file. If you add a policy, you must be able to assign it to a role. If there is no role on the target IVE yet, you must add one in the instance file. If you delete an auth server, you might strand realms and users, therefore, you need to make sure no realms or users depend on the auth server before you attempt to delete it. If you delete a role, you might strand policies and realms. To delete a role, you must first delete any policy that depends upon the role, or reassign associated policies to another role. Also, to delete a role, you must first delete or reassign any realm that depends upon that role. If you delete a sign-in page, you might strand one or more sign-in URLs. To delete a sign-in page, you must first delete any associated sign-in URLs or reassign them to other sign-in pages.

Mapping the XML instance to UI components

The elements in the XML instance are closely related to the objects and their options as you see them in the admin console. The element names in the XML instance file correlate closely with the displayed object and option names. For example, go to Users > User Roles > [Role] > General > Session Options in the admin console. The admin console renders the possible values for a roaming session as a radio button group, consisting of the values: Enabled Limit to subnet Disabled The following excerpt, from the exported configuration file for roles, shows the session options for the Users role. On the bolded line, the roaming session option is set to Enable:
<SessionOptions> <MaxTimeout>60</MaxTimeout> <RoamingNetmask /> <Roaming>Enable</Roaming> <IdleTimeout>10</IdleTimeout>

642

In the schema.xsd schema file, you can locate the allowable values for the roaming session option:
<xs:simpleType name="EnableRoamingType"> <xs:restriction base="xs:token"> <xs:enumeration value="Enable"/> <xs:enumeration value="Limited"/> <xs:enumeration value="Disable"/> </xs:restriction> </xs:simpleType>

If you want to change the value for the roaming session from enabled to limit to subnet, replace Enable with Limited. This example shows you that the admin console often provides all of the allowable values, displayed either in a radio button group, as checkboxes, as drop down listboxes, or as other types of user interface components. The instance file displays only the current state of your IVE configuration. The schema file displays all of the actual values for the configuration options that are supported in the XML Import/Export feature. For more information about specific elements, review the schema files directly.

XML import modes

The IVE provides three different import modes to use when importing XML configuration files. Each mode enables you to perform progressively more complex tasks during the import operation.

Quick Import
If you want to add objects to your configuration, use the quick import mode. Quick import mode does not allow you to make changes to any of the existing settings. Even if you modify the data in your XML instance file, the IVE does not apply those modifications to the configuration.

Standard Import
If you want to change or add objects to your configuration without affecting any of the other data in your configuration, use the standard import mode. Standard import mode enables you to add new objects to your configuration, and to update existing objects. If you delete an object from the instance file, then use standard import mode, the IVE ignores the deletion. The IVE sets the default import mode to standard import.
643

Importing and exporting XML configuration files

Juniper Networks Secure Access Administration Guide

Full Import
Full import mode is the most powerful import operation you can perform using the XML instance file. A full import consists of a complete replacement of the IVE configuration. Using full import mode, you can add, modify, and delete objects from the IVE. Because you can make significant changes to your configuration, both purposely and inadvertently, it is important for you to understand the implications of using full import mode. During a full import, you completely replace your existing configuration with whatever is in your instance file. You can effectively delete a large number of objects from your existing configuration with this mode. The IVE performs the deletion by exclusion. On comparing the instance file with the existing configuration, the IVE deletes anything in the existing configuration that does not appear in the instance file.
NOTE: You can delete much or all of your configuration inadvertently, if you implement the full import operation incorrectly. The exported instance file contains the current state of the top-level components in the IVE.

The following scenarios illustrate the incorrect and the correct usage of full import mode when attempting to delete some users from an IVE configuration.

Using Full Import mode incorrectly

You want to remove a few users from the IVE.
NOTE: DO NOT perform this procedure. It is included as an example of the incorrect use of the Full Import mode and is meant strictly for training purposes.

You perform the following steps: 1. Export the local users who are associated with one of your auth servers. 2. Delete a few of the users from the XML instance file. 3. Select Full Import and import the remaining users back into the IVE. You have now deleted all users except those that were left in the XML instance file. Your mistake was in exporting only users associated with a specific auth server. Because the full import mode results in a complete replacement of the configuration, the contents of the imported file overwrite all corresponding IVE configuration data.

Using Full Import mode correctly

You want to remove a few users from the IVE. You perform the following steps: 1. Export all local users from all auth servers defined on the IVE. 2. Delete some of the users from the XML instance file.

3. Select Full Import and import the remaining users back into the IVE. You have now deleted only the selected users from your IVE and left the other users intact.

Validating the instance file

An XML schema defines the structure of an application as well as allowable values, defaults, data types, ranges, list values, required and optional values, syntax, and other data structures. The XML instance is validated against the schema when you attempt to import the instance into the IVE, ensuring that the instance conforms to the requirements for a valid IVE configuration. If you have made changes or additions to the instance file that somehow violate the rules set forth in the schema, whether those are referential integrity rules, allowable values, ranges, or other types of constraints, the IVE does not complete the import operation and provides error messages. You can download the schema (.xsd) file for the IVE objects whose data are available for export and import. You might find the schema file useful for determining the rules that apply to the IVE objects, as they relate to exporting, modifying, and importing those objects.

Downloading the schema file

You can download the schema (.xsd) file for the IVE objects, if you want to review the structure and rules that apply to the objects. You can download the schema file in two ways: From the XML Import/Export pages, by clicking a hyperlink. Directly, by accessing the URL where the files are stored on the system. To access the .xsd file, access the following URL, either directly or by way of a script:
https://<IP-or-hostname>/dana-na/xml/schema.xsd

where IP-or-hostname is the IVE's IP address or hostname. Using this method, you do not need to sign in to the IVE.
NOTE: This feature might change in the future. Be aware of this if you use scripts to access the zip file by way of the URL. The items that might change are:

The URL. The filename. The file extension. The format could be changed to .xsd, for example.

Strategies for working with XML instances

The following strategies might be useful to you when exporting and importing XML instance files: Define your goal for a given XML Import/Export operation. What IVE object or objects do you need to add, update, or delete? Do you need to complete all modifications in one operation, or can you modify the configuration in separate operations? Will your process be a one-time operation, or will you need to perform the same operation multiple times? Are you updating an existing IVE, or are you using one IVE configuration as a template for configuring other IVEs? Document the changes to the IVE objects you intend to modify. Make a list of objects to be added, updated, or deleted. For objects to add or update, list specific attribute data. List pages or tabs from the admin console that correspond to the objects and attributes you intend to change. Make a binary system snapshot or a binary configuration backup immediately before performing the import. Make sure you understand the implications of the import modes, as described in XML import modes on page 643. Make a plan to verify that the completed configuration meets your goals. Check the Admin Access log to make sure the export and import operations succeeded. Perform a random check of the modified items. Make sure items were added, updated, or deleted as you expected. You will almost always need to use the XML instance file and the admin console in combination, particularly when you first begin modifying the XML instance files. You may also need to view the XML schema files. Use the XML instance file to: Identify the configuration objects, expressed as XML elements. Locate and modify the configuration data. Use the admin console to: Correlate visual components to XML schema and instance elements. Confirm the accuracy of modifications to specific objects.
646
Importing and exporting XML configuration files

Chapter 24: System archiving

Use the XML schema file to: Identify the structure and sequence of configuration objects. Identify optional and required elements, allowable values, default values, and other attributes of the configuration objects.
NOTE: Importing and exporting XML configuration files can take several minutes to complete. Do not perform any operations that might modify or remove data currently being imported or exported.

Importing XML configuration data

NOTE: If you import an XML configuration file into a cluster, all members of a cluster are disabled and all end-user sessions are terminated during the import process. After the import process completes, the cluster members are automatically enabled but users must sign-in again.

To import XML configuration data: 1. Choose Maintenance > Import/Export > XML Import/Export > Import in the admin console. 2. Under Schema Files, click the link to download the XML Schema (.xsd) files that describe the IVE objects (Optional). For more information about schema files, see Downloading the schema file on page 645. 3. Browse to, and select, the XML data file that you want to import. You can import a valid XML fragment file if you want to import only a partial configuration. 4. Select the Import mode: Full Import (Add, Update, and Delete)Adds any new data elements that appear in the imported XML file to the IVE configuration, updates any existing elements whose values are changed in the imported XML file, and deletes any existing elements that are not defined in the imported XML file.
NOTE: CAUTION. Using Full Import mode is a potentially dangerous operation.

You can inadvertently delete much or all of your IVE configuration if you are not careful. When set to Full Import, the IVE replaces the configuration on the IVE appliance with whatever is in the instance file. Anything that is not defined in the instance file is deleted from the IVE appliance. Standard Import (Add and Update)Adds any new data elements that appear in the imported XML file to the IVE configuration and updates any existing elements whose values are changed in the imported XML file. No elements are deleted.

Quick Import (Add)Adds any new data elements that appear in the imported XML file to the IVE configuration. Any changes to existing elements are ignored. 5. Click Import. The Import XML Results page displays containing information about the imported network settings, roles, resource policies, and other settings. If there are errors in the XML, the import operation stops and rolls back the configuration to the previous state. Error messages are displayed on the Import XML Results page. 6. Click OK to return to the Import page.

Exporting XML configuration data

To export XML configuration data: 1. Choose Maintenance > Import/Export > XML Import/Export > Export in the admin console. 2. Under Schema Files, click the link to download the XML Schema (.xsd) file that describe the IVE objects (Optional). For more information about schema files, see Downloading the schema file on page 645. 3. Click the Select All button to export all of the settings identified on the page. Otherwise, select the specific information you want to export: Select the Network Settings and Licenses checkbox to export network settings, including internal port settings, external port settings, and licensing information. For a more detailed list, see Importing and exporting XML configuration files on page 635.

NOTE: The following rules apply to exported and imported licenses:

You cannot edit the license data that is exported, as it is encrypted. An XML import of licenses is only valid if the machine importing the license does not currently have a license installed. If there is a license installed already, any imported licenses are dropped. If you still intend to import a license, you must perform a factory reset on the IVE, then perform the import operation. If you import a license after deleting a temporary license from the IVE, the imported license will be dropped, because you might still be able to reactivate the deleted license and the import operation attempts to preserve any licensing data currently on the IVE.

XML Import/Export use cases

The following use cases illustrate common examples of how you can use the XML Import/Export feature. Each use case consists of a brief description and a procedure for accomplishing the use case. These use cases are abbreviated and do not cover all of the intricacies and details of performing a full set of procedures. The use cases are included solely as illustrations of the potential uses for the XML Import/Export feature.

Use Case: Adding multiple new users to an IVE

You have just added a new IVE appliance to your network, and you want to add your two thousand users to the system. You do not want to add them one at a time in the admin console, but would like to perform a mass import and force the users to change their passwords the first time they log in to the system. You can export the user accounts, extract the relevant XML that defines users, replicate each element as needed, then import them to the IVE. In this procedure, you only see examples for User 1, User 2, and User 2000. All other users are assumed as being included in your import file. You set the passwords to numbered instances of the word password, such as password1, password2, and so on. All users in this example are assigned to the same auth server, although you can specify any combination of auth servers that are valid on your system. To add multiple new users to an IVE: 1. In the admin console, go to Maintenance > Import/Export > XML Import/Export > Export XML. 2. Follow the instructions to export local user accounts as described in Strategies for working with XML instances on page 646. 3. Save the exported file as users.xml. 4. Open the users.xml file. 5. Copy and paste the User container element until you have added the necessary number of users. Although the example shows only three new users, you might add hundreds of new users to the file. 6. Update the appropriate data in each User container element, as shown in the following example:
NOTE:

The formatting in the following example has been modified from the original to improve readability. The actual XML code may appear differently. You must set the PasswordFormat to Plaintext, otherwise the IVE assumes a default of Encrypted.

7. Save the users.xml file. 8. In the admin console, go to Maintenance > Import/Export > XML Import/Export > Import. 9. Choose either Standard Import or Quick Import. 10. Import the file, as described in Importing and exporting XML configuration files on page 635.

Use Case: Updating policies

You want to change all ActiveX rewriting policies from an action of RewriteURLResponseForDynamicStaticHTML to another action, but you do not want to enter each policy separately in the admin console. Instead, you can export an instance file, make your changes, then import the file back to the IVE. To update policies on an IVE:
652
Importing and exporting XML configuration files

Chapter 24: System archiving

In the admin console, go to Maintenance > Import/Export > XML Import/Export > Export. 1. Follow the instructions to export local user accounts as described in Strategies for working with XML instances on page 646. 2. Save the exported file as policy.xml. 3. Open the exported file. 4. Open the policy.xsd schema file on your system, using either a text editor or an XML editor. In the schema file, search for the action value RewriteURLResponseForDynamicStaticHTML. The schema definition for the ActiveXActionType includes the current policy action value, as well as the other possible values, as shown in the following example:
<xs:simpleType name="ActiveXActionType"> <xs:restriction base="xs:token"> <xs:enumeration value="RewriteURLResponseForStaticHTML"/> <xs:enumeration value="RewriteURLResponseForDynamicStaticHTML"/> <xs:enumeration value="RewriteURLForStaticHTML"/> <xs:enumeration value="RewriteURLForDynamicStaticHTML"/> <xs:enumeration value="RewriteHostForStaticHTML"/> <xs:enumeration value="RewriteHostForDynamicStaticHTML"/> <xs:enumeration value="RewriteURLInsertHostname"/> <xs:enumeration value="RewriteDataAsListOfURLs"/> <xs:enumeration value="DoNotRewrite"/> </xs:restriction> </xs:simpleType>

5. In the exported policy.xml file, search and replace RewriteURLResponseForDynamicStaticHTML with the action value of RewriteURLForDynamicStaticHTML.
NOTE: The following example shows only a fragment of the actual policy.xml file.

Also, the formatting has been modified from the original to improve readability. The actual XML code may appear differently.

6. Save the policy.xml file. 7. In the admin console, go to Maintenance > Import/Export > XML Import/Export > Import. 8. Choose Standard Import. By selecting this import mode, you will update data on the IVE that has been modified in the XML instance file. 9. Import the file, as described in Importing XML configuration data on page 647.

Use Case: Deleting users from an IVE

Every month you purge users who are no longer with the company from the IVE. Because you work in a very large organization, you often must delete dozens or even hundreds of users every month. This can be a tedious process and you would like to find an easier way to perform this task.
NOTE: CAUTION. Using Full Import mode is a potentially dangerous operation.

You can inadvertently delete much or all of your IVE configuration if you are not careful. When set to Full Import, the IVE replaces the configuration on the IVE appliance with whatever is in the instance file. Anything that is not defined in the instance file is deleted from the IVE appliance. To delete users from an IVE: 1. In the admin console, go to Maintenance > Import/Export > XML Import/Export > Export. 2. Follow the instructions to export local user accounts as described in Strategies for working with XML instances on page 646. 3. Save the exported file as remusers.xml. 4. Open the remusers.xml file. 5. If you have a list of users you want to delete, search the file for each username, then remove the entire User container element that contains that username. The following example shows the User container and its child elements:
<User> <AuthServerName>System Local</AuthServerName> <Email>deleteuser@company.com</Email> <FullName>DeleteUser</FullName>

The IVE rejects any attempt to do so. Use the plaintext PasswordFormat and enter a plaintext password when changing passwords through the XML file.

6. Save the remusers.xml file. 7. In the admin console, go to Maintenance > Import/Export > XML Import/Export > Import. 8. Choose Full Import. By selecting this import mode, you replace all of the user data on the IVE with the user data in the XML instance file. 9. Import the file, as described in Importing and exporting XML configuration files on page 635.

Use Case: Using XML Import/Export in a clustered environment

You can use the XML Import/Export feature in a clustered environment. You must, however, adhere to certain rules and you must follow a particular procedure to complete the operation successfully. The XML instance you want to import must contain the same set of nodes as the original cluster. The signature used to synchronize the cluster when the nodes are re-enabled is derived from the IP addresses of the cluster nodes, so the remaining nodes cannot rejoin the cluster if the imported configuration yields a different signature. Do not modify node name, IP address, or IP netmask in the instance file. Do not use Full Import mode. Use only Standard Import mode. Do not change any network settings in the instance file that render the primary node unreachable. For example, do not change the default gateway configuration for a multi-site cluster. On import, the instance file overwrites the node-specific cluster configuration network settings of the remaining nodes. If you change these node-specific network settings, make sure you do not make the remaining nodes unreachable. Do not modify existing virtual port settings or add new virtual port settings in the instance file.

Importing and exporting XML configuration files

655

Juniper Networks Secure Access Administration Guide

When performing an import operation on a cluster, all of the cluster nodes should be enabled and running. If you attempt to import a configuration into a cluster in which a node is not running, the import operation may hang or your import results may be unpredictable.

Importing to a system with the Management Port

If you import a configuration from a system that does not support a management port into a system that has an enabled management port and you import everything, including licenses, the management port on the target system will appear to be removed. The management port actually continues to be operational and will reappear along with its original configuration when you reapply the management port license for the target system. If you import to the target but specify the option Import everything except network settings and licenses, the management port and its configuration persist on the target system and the port is operational.

Pushing configurations from one IVE to another

IVE appliances enabled with the Advanced license enable you to copy all configuration settings or selected configuration settings from one IVE to another using the Push Configuration feature. This feature provides simple configuration management across an enterprise without requiring you to cluster IVE appliances. With the Push Configuration feature, you can decide exactly which settings you do and do not want to copy across the enterprise. The interface for selecting the settings is similar to the XML Import/Export feature. You can push to a single IVE or to multiple IVEs. For example, if you install several new IVEs, you can push to set their initial configuration. You can also push to an IVE that is a member of a cluster as long as the target IVE is not a member of the same cluster as the source. Target IVEs have the option of not accepting pushed configuration settings. For instructions, see Defining the target IVEs on page 657. If a push to a target IVE fails, Push Configuration continues to the next target until all identified targets are updated. The results page displays the status and any problems encountered during the process. Note the following when pushing configurations: After the IVE updates the configuration on a target IVE, the target IVE appliance restarts its services. Brief interrupts may occur while the service restarts. We recommend you push to target IVEs when they are idle or when you can accommodate brief interruptions. Target IVEs display no warning message when receiving pushed configurations. Push Configuration updates the Administrator Access log file with the push results. The target IVE automatically logs out administrators during the push process. The source and target IVEs must have the same build version and number. If either the source or target IVEs has an IVS license, you must push all configuration settings. You cannot select which settings to push.
656
Pushing configurations from one IVE to another

Chapter 24: System archiving

The source IVE pushes data only over the internal port or the Management Port (on the Juniper Networks SA 6000, if configured.) If the source IVEs internal port or Management Port cannot talk to the target IVEs external port, the push operation fails. The source IVE pushes data only over the internal port. If the source IVEs internal port cannot talk to the target IVEs external port, the push operation fails. You can push up to 8 targets per push operation; up to 25 push operations can be run simultaneously. The maximum number of targets the IVE pushes to at any time is 200. The source IVE saves and displays up to 25 push configuration results in the Results tab. If 25 results are currently displayed, the IVE removes the oldest result data when push configuration runs again. For Push Configuration to work, the administrator account on the source IVE must sign in to the target IVE without any human interaction. For example, you cannot have dynamic credentials or multiple roles that are not merged as these both require manual interaction. Prior to using Push Configuration, you must configure your system following specific conditions: You must map to the .Administrators role, thereby creating a super administrator with full administration privileges. Use settings in the Authentication > Auth Servers >[Administrator Server] > Users tab to add yourself to the .Administrators role. The target IVE administrator account must use static password authentication or two-factor tokens that do not use challenge-response type authentication. For example, certificates, Soft ID, and Defender Authentication are not supported. Use settings in the Administrators > Admin Realms > [Administrator Realm] > General tab to select the proper authentication server for the administrator realm. You must not configure the administrator account in a way that requires the administrator to select a role to sign in to the target IVE. For example, you must not map a single user to multiple roles, including the push configuration administrator role, and then fail to permissively merge those roles. We recommend creating an account exclusively for push configuration administrators to guarantee that the administrator does not need to choose a role during the sign-in process and to clearly distinguish the actions of push configuration administrators in your log files. Use settings in the Administrators > Admin Realms > [Administrator Realm] > Role Mapping tab to set the appropriate role-mapping rules.

Defining the target IVEs

If the target IVE is part of a cluster, you can push to any member of the cluster as long as the target is not a member of the source cluster. You must enable the Allow this IVE to be a target setting on all cluster members. This setting is important when specifying the virtual IP (VIP) in the sign-in URL of a destination as it ensures that the push succeeds regardless of which node is hosting the VIP.
Pushing configurations from one IVE to another

657

Juniper Networks Secure Access Administration Guide

Note the following about target IVEs. Target names and target sign-in URLs cannot be edited once they are created. You cannot edit or delete a target IVE while the push operation is pushing configuration data to that target IVE. When deleting a target IVE, all push configuration results associated with that target IVE are also deleted. To define target IVEs: 1. Create administrator accounts on both IVEs. For instructions, see Creating administrator roles on page 735. (See restrictions in Pushing configurations from one IVE to another on page 656.) 2. In the admin console, choose Maintenance > Push Config > Targets. 3. If you do not want this IVE to accept pushed configuration settings, uncheck the Allow this IVE to be a target checkbox. 4. To create a new target IVE, click New Target. On the New Target page: a. In the Name field, enter a name for the target IVE.

b. In the Sign-in URL field, enter the sign-in URL defined in the Authentication > Signing In > Sign-In Policies page. c. Enter the username, password, and authentication realm of an administrator account on the target IVE that provides full administration privileges.

d. Click Save Changes. 5. To delete a target IVE: a. Select the checkbox next to the target IVE you want to delete.

b. Click Delete and then confirm that you want to delete the IVE. 6. Click Save Changes.

Logging and Monitoring overview

IVE log files are text files stored on an IVE appliance that track system events. An IVE appliance produces the following types of log files: Events logThis log file contains a variety of system events, such as session timeouts (including idle and maximum length session timeouts), system errors and warnings, requests to check server connectivity, and IVE service restart notifications. (The IVE Watchdog process periodically checks the IVE server and restarts it if the IVE does not respond.) User Access logThis log file contains information about when users access the appliance, including the number of simultaneous users at each one hour interval (logged on the hour), user sign-ins and sign-outs, user file requests, and Web requests. Administrator Access logThis log file contains administration information, including administrator changes to user, system, and network settings, such as changes to session timeouts, the option to enable/disable URL browsing and user-created bookmarks, and machine and server information. It also creates a log entry whenever an administrator signs in, signs out, or changes licenses on the appliance. Sensors logThis log file contains informational and attack alert messages generated by an associated IDP device monitoring client traffic for possible network intrusion. Network Connect Packet logThis log file contains all of the information featured in the User Access log plus additional information like the source and destination IP addresses, source and destination ports, UDP encapsulated ESP transport protocol negotiation events, and the destination protocol used when applications are accessed via the Network Connect client-to-IVE tunnel.
NOTE: Because client-side Network Connect packet logging is policy-driven, packet information will only be logged for user profiles meeting all the criteria necessary to automatically engage the logging function.

Client upload logThis log file contains session initiation, connection, and termination log information that you can use to help diagnose and troubleshoot problems users may have connection to the IVE. The System > Log/Monitoring pages lets you specify which events are logged, the maximum file size for the system log, and whether to log events to the syslog server in addition to logging them locally. The System > Log/Monitoring pages also let you view the specified number of events, save the log files to a network, and clear the logs.

Logging and Monitoring overview

Chapter 25: Logging and monitoring

When one of the logs reaches the configured maximum log file size (200MB by default), the current data is rolled over to a backup log file. A new, empty, file is then created for all subsequent (new) log messages. Using the log viewer, the administrator can see the most recent 5000 log messages (the viewer's display limit). If the current log file contains less than 5000 log messages, older log messages from the backup log file are displayed, up to a total of 5000 log messages. This makes the log files appear as one, even though they are stored separately, according to the configured maximum log file size.
NOTE: When you choose to save the log messages or use the FTP archive function on the Maintenance > Archiving page, the backup log file is appended to the current log file, and is then downloaded as one log file. If the log files are not archived or saved by the time they are rolled over once again, the oldest log messages (saved in the backup log file) are lost.

Additionally, you can use a network management tool such as HP OpenView to monitor an IVE appliance as an SNMP agent. The IVE platform supports SNMP v2, implements a private MIB (management information base), and defines its own traps. To enable your network management station to process these traps, you need to download the Juniper Networks MIB file and specify the appropriate information to receive the traps. You can configure some of the traps to suit your needs. For more information on setting trap thresholds, see Monitoring the IVE as an SNMP agent on page 673.
NOTE: To monitor vital system statistics, such as CPU utilization, load the UCDavis MIB file into your SNMP manager application. You can obtain the MIB file from: http://net-snmp.sourceforge.net/docs/mibs/UCD-SNMP-MIB.txt.

Log file severity levels

The events, user access, and administrator access log files rank events according to these guidelines: Critical (severity level 10)When the IVE cannot serve user and administrator requests or loses functionality to a majority of subsystems, it writes a critical event to the log. Major (severity levels 8-9)When the IVE loses functionality in one or more subsystems, but users can still access the appliance for other access mechanisms, the IVE writes a major event to the log. Minor (severity levels 5-7)When the IVE encounters an error that does not correspond to a major failure in a subsystem, it writes a minor event to the log. Minor events generally correspond to individual request failures. Info (severity levels 1-4)When the IVE displays a notification message, when an end-user makes a request, or when an administrator makes a modification, the IVE writes an informational event to the log.

Custom filter log files

The Central Manager package allows you to filter and format the data in your events, user access, and administrator access log files. When you filter log files, the IVE appliance only saves those messages specified within the filter query. For example, you may create a query that only logs entries for a particular range of IP addresses or for users who are signed into a specific realm. To create a query, use the IVE custom expression language. When you format log files, the IVE appliance simply changes the look of the log messages based on your specifications. Log formats do not affect which data the appliance saves; formats only affect how the appliance displays the data. An IVE appliance includes standard, WELF, and W3C log formats, but you may also choose to create your own custom format. To create a custom format, use log fields. For configuration instructions, see Configuring the Log Monitoring features on page 668.

Dynamic log filters

The Central Manager package provides administrators with the ability to quickly change the log view by clicking on any data log variable link in the currently viewed log. For instance, if you want to temporarily view the User Access Log based on a particular IP address, create a quick filter by clicking on any occurrence of that IP address in the current log and the IVE immediately redraws the log to show all entries containing the specified IP address. Furthermore, clicking on additional data log variable links expands the quick filter and updates the current view of the log.

NOTE: As with custom log filters, dynamic log filters change only the current view

of the log not the data that the IVE saves. Although quick filters act as temporary filter agents, the IVE gives you the option of saving the temporary query strings as new custom filters. For configuration instructions, see Dynamic log filters on page 666. For more information on Central Manager, see Using central management features on page 571.

Viewing and deleting user sessions

The configuration page for most IVE authentication servers contain a Users tab that you can use to view and delete active IVE user sessions. Authentication server types that do not display this tab include: Anonymous serverThe IVE cannot display individual session data about users who sign in through an anonymous server, because it does not collect usernames or other credentials for users signing in through an anonymous server.

666

Logging and Monitoring overview

Chapter 25: Logging and monitoring

Local authentication serverThe IVE displays a Local Users tab instead of a Users tab for local authentication servers, allowing you to add and delete user accounts instead of user sessions. For all other types of authentication servers, you may view and delete active user sessions using the instructions below. To view or delete an active user session: 1. In the admin console, choose Authentication > Auth. Servers. 2. Click the appropriate link in the Authentication/Authorization Servers list. 3. Select the Users tab. 4. Perform any of the following tasks: Enter a username in the Show users named field and click Update to search for a specific user. Or, you can use an * character as a wildcard, where an * represents any number of zero or more characters. For example, if you want to search for all usernames that contain the letters jo, enter *jo* in the Show users named field. The search is case-sensitive. To display the entire list of accounts again, either enter an * character, or delete the fields contents and click Update. Enter a number in the Show N users field and click Update to control the number of users displayed on the page. Click the checkbox next to individual users and click Delete to terminate their IVE sessions.

NOTE: You can find several access statistics for any user account on the Users tab

in the Last Access Statistics columns. These columns appear on any of the Users tabs anywhere they appear in the admin console. The statistics include the last sign-in date and time a user successfully signed in and the browser type and version.

Configuring the Log Monitoring features

Log Monitoring features on the IVE enable you to monitor events, user access, administrator access, Network Connect packets using pre-defined logs which you can filter and save for later review. Additionally, the IVE allows you to use SNMP to monitor its activities, and provides statistics, client-side logs for applications such as Host Checker, Cache Cleaner, Secure Meeting, WSAM, JSAM, Terminal Services, and Network Connect. For more information, refer to the following topics: Configuring events, user access, admin access, IDP sensor, and NC packet logs on page 668 Monitoring the IVE as an SNMP agent on page 673 Viewing system statistics on page 679 Enabling client-side logs on page 679 Viewing general status on page 683 Monitoring active users on page 686 Viewing and cancelling scheduled meetings on page 687 For information about IVE logs and monitoring capabilities, see Logging and monitoring on page 663.

Configuring events, user access, admin access, IDP sensor, and NC packet logs
Use the System > Log/Monitoring > Events, User Access, Admin Access, Sensor, and NC Packet pages to save log files, create dynamic log queries, specify which events to save in the log files, and create custom filters and formats.

NOTE: The events, user access, and admin access logs are three distinct files. Although the basic configuration instructions for each is the same, modifying the settings for one does not affect settings for another. For more information about the contents of each file, see Logging and monitoring on page 663.

To save, view, or clear the events log file: 1. In the admin console, choose System > Log/Monitoring. 2. Select either the Events, User Access, Admin Access, Sensors, or NC Packet tab, and then choose Log.

packet logs that are being transmitted over the TCP, ICMP, or UDP transport protocol, respectively. You can also define a combination of the above options to even more definitively refine the log entries displayed in the bottom portion of this window. For example, the entry (remoteip 10.1.2.3) and (protocol UDP) would display only Network Connect UDP packets destined for IP address 10.1.2.3.

NOTE: NC Packet Logging could significantly degrade performance, and should only be used for Troubleshooting.

5. Click the Reset Query button to clear the Edit Query text field and reset the log to the view determined by the filter specified in the View by filter field (optional). 6. Click the Save Query button to save the dynamic log query as a custom filter (optional). The Filters tab displays with the Query field pre-populated with the variables you selected from the log. Next: a. Enter a name for the filter.

b. Make the new filter the default filter by selecting Make default (optional). c. Set the start and end dates for the filter: In the Start Date section, click Earliest Date to write all logs from the first available date stored in the log file. Or, manually enter a start date. In the End Date section, click Latest Date to write all logs up to the last available date stored in the log file. Or, manually enter a end date. 7. Choose a format in the Export Format section. For more information about the available formats, see Custom filter log files on page 666. 8. Select the Save button to save the new filter.

Specifying which events to save in the log file

Use options in the Settings tab to specify what the IVE writes to the log file, which syslog servers it uses to store the log files, and the maximum file size.
NOTE: You may also use the Archiving page to automatically save the logs to an FTP accessible location. For more information, see Archiving IVE binary configuration files on page 628.

To specify events log settings: 1. In the admin console, choose System > Log/Monitoring.

Chapter 25: Logging and monitoring

2. Select the Events Log, User Access Log, Admin Access Log, Sensors Log, or NC Packet Log tab, and then choose Settings.
NOTE: Enabling NC packet logging can impact your system performance and stability.

3. In the Maximum Log Size field, specify the maximum file size for the local log file. (The limit is 500 MB.) The system log displays data up to the amount specified.
NOTE: Maximum Log Size is an internal setting that most closely corresponds

with the size of logs formatted with the Standard format. If you choose to use a more verbose format such as WELF, your log files may exceed the limit that you specify here. 4. Under Select Events to Log, select the checkbox for each type of event that you want to capture in the local log file.
NOTE: If you disable the Statistics checkbox in the Events Log tab, the IVE does not write statistics to the log file, but continues to display them in the System > Log/Monitoring > Statistics tab. For more information, see Viewing system statistics on page 679.

NOTE: The Select Events to Log portion of the Settings tab does not apply to the NC Packet page or the Sensors page, as Network Connect packet logging focuses on client-side packet activity, rather than Administratively-oriented logging, and attack alert messages from the IDP are first logged on the IDP device and then passed to the IVE.

5. Under Syslog Servers, enter information about the syslog servers where you want to store your log files (optional): a. Enter the name or IP address of the syslog server.

b. Enter a facility for the server. The IVE provides 8 facilities (LOCAL0LOCAL7) which you can map to facilities on your syslog server. c. (Central Manager only) Choose which filter you want to apply to the log file.

d. Click Add. e. Repeat for multiple servers if desired, using different formats and filters for different servers and facilities.

NOTE: Make sure your syslog server accepts messages with the following settings: facility = LOG_USER and level = LOG_INFO.

Creating, editing, or deleting log filters

Use the controls on the Filters tab to create custom log filters, or to edit or delete the following set of pre-defined log filters: Standard (default)This log filter format logs the date, time, node, source IP address, user, realm, and the IVE event ID and message. WELFThis customized WebTrends Enhanced Log Format (WELF) filter combines the standard WELF format with information about the IVE appliances realms, roles, and messages. WELF-SRC-2.0-Access ReportThis filter adds access queries to our customized WELF filter. You can easily use this filter with NetIQs SRC to generate reports on user access methods. W3CThe World Wide Web Consortiums extended log file format is a customizable ASCII format with a variety of different fields. Visit http://www.w3.org for more information about this format. Only the User Access log offers this filter as an option.

Creating custom filters and formats for your log files

Use options in the Filters tab to specify which data is written to your log files as well as its format. This option is only available with the Central Manager package. 1. In the admin console, choose System > Log/Monitoring. 2. Select the Events, User Access, Admin Access, or NC Packet tab, and then choose Filters. 3. Do one of the following: To modify an existing filter, click its name. To create a new filter, click New Filter. 4. Enter a name for the filter.
NOTE: If you select a format and then create a new name for it in the Filter Name

field, the IVE does not create a new custom filter format that is based on the existing format. Instead, it overwrites the existing format with the changes you make. 5. Click Make Default to define the selected filter as the default for the log file type. You may set different default filters for the events, user access, and administrator access logs. 6. Use options in the Query section to control which subset of data the IVE writes to the log: a.

b. In the End Date section, click Latest Date to write all logs up to the last available date stored in the log file. Or, manually enter a end date. c. In the Query section, use the IVE custom expression language to control which subset of data the IVE writes to the log. For instructions, see Writing custom expressions on page 855.

NOTE: Any string (including a * wildcard character) you manually enter in a query, must be enclosed in double-quotes. For example, the query protocol="UDP" AND sourceip=172.27.0.0/16 AND port=* must be presented as protocol="UDP" AND sourceip=172.27.0.0/16 AND port=* or the logging component returns an error.

7. Use one of the options the Export Format section to control the format of the data in the log: Select the Standard, WELF, or W3C option to format the log entries using one of these standardized formats. For more information, see Dynamic log filters on page 666. Select the Custom option and enter the format you want to use in the Format field. When entering a format, surround variables with percentage symbols (for example %user%). All other characters in the field are treated as literals. 8. Click Save.

Monitoring the IVE as an SNMP agent

You can use a network management tool such as HP OpenView to monitor the IVE as an SNMP agent. The IVE supports SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) v2, implements a private MIB (management information base), and defines its own traps. To enable your network management station to process these traps, you need to download the Juniper Networks MIB file and specify the appropriate information to receive the traps.
NOTE:

To monitor IVE vital system statistics, such as CPU utilization, load the UCDavis MIB file into your SNMP manager application. You can obtain the MIB file from: http://net-snmp.sourceforge.net/docs/mibs/UCD-SNMP-MIB.txt. The IVE supports standard MIB objects, including the system uptime (sysUpTime) object. The system uptime (sysUpTime) object returns the time elapsed (in hundredths of a second) since the SNMP agent was started. To specify SNMP settings: 1. In the admin console, choose System > Log/Monitoring > SNMP.

Viewing system statistics

Every hour, the IVE logs the following data: Peak load of Web users Peak load of Mail users Number of URLs accessed Number of files accessed The Statistics page displays that information for the past seven days. The IVE writes that information to the system log once a week. Note that upgrading the IVE clears all statistics. If you configure the system to log statistics hourly, however, old statistics are still available in the log file after an upgrade. To view system statistics: 1. In the admin console, choose System > Log/Monitoring > Statistics. 2. Scroll the page to view all four categories of data.

Enabling client-side logs

The IVE includes the following options for enabling and viewing client-side logs: Logging activity for individual featuresYou can use options in the System > Log/Monitoring > Client Logs > Settings page of the admin console to enable client-side logging for individual IVE client applications such as Host Checker and Network Connect, to set log limit sizes, and to enable log alerts. You must enable client-side logs on this page in order to use other client-side options described here. For more information, see Enabling client-side logging and global options on page 680.

Uploading log files to the IVEYou can use options in the Users > User Roles > Select Role > General > Session Options page of the admin console to configure the IVE to upload log files to the admin console when initiated by an end-user. For more information, see Enabling client-side log uploads on page 681. Viewing uploaded logsYou can use options in the System > Log/Monitoring > Client Logs > Uploaded Logs page of the admin console to view the logs that end-users push to the IVE. For more information, see Viewing uploaded client-side logs on page 682.

Enabling client-side logging and global options

Client-side logging is useful when working with the Juniper Networks Support team to debug problems with an IVE client-side feature. When you enable logging for a feature, the IVE writes a log to any client computer that uses the feature. (These settings are global, which means that the IVE writes a log file to all clients that use the enabled feature.) The IVE then appends to the log file each time the feature is invoked during subsequent user sessions. Once the IVE has written a log file to a users computer, it does not remove it. If users want to remove the log files, they must manually delete them from their computers. You can enable client-side logging for the Host Checker, Cache Cleaner, Secure Meeting, WSAM, JSAM and Java Applet Rewriter, Network Connect, and Terminal Services features. For information about where the IVE installs log files for each of these features, see the Client-side Changes Guide on the Juniper Networks Customer Support Center.
NOTE: The IVE only logs information for the Network Connect feature if you enable logging through the admin console using the procedure that follows and the end-user enables logging through the end-users Network Connect status window.

When you use the IVE as an Instant Virtual System (IVS) appliance, keep the following guidelines in mind: The options available in the tabs on the System > Log/Monitoring > Client Logs page on an IVE featuring one or more IVS systems can only be configured by the root administratorthis right includes disk space allocation and alert settings on the IVE, which are shared among all IVS systems on the IVE. Each IVS administrator has rights to enable client-side logging for the roles associated with the IVS systems user roles. IVS administrators can only manipulate (save, delete) log files within their respective IVS systems. Root administrators can save and delete log files from all IVS systems. An IVS administrator can configure the system to receive a User Access Event when their IVS log uploads. For more information, see Instant Virtual System (IVS) on page 747.

To specify global client-side logging settings: 1. In the admin console, choose System > Log/Monitoring > Client Logs > Settings. 2. Select the desired features for which the IVE writes client-side logs. 3. Under Upload Logs, configure the following: a. Specify the amount of disk space (in Megabytes) you want to allocate for uploaded client log files in the Uploaded logs disk space field. You can allocate from 0 to 200 MB.

b. Enable or disable the Alert when log uploaded option to specify whether or not you want the IVE to display an alert message when an end-user pushes a log file up to the IVE. (For more information, see Enabling clientside log uploads on page 681.) 4. Click Save Changes to save these settings globally.

NOTE: For new IVE 5.x systems, all options are disabled by default. If you upgrade

your IVE from a 3.x configuration, all log options are enabled by default.

Enabling client-side log uploads

If you enable client-side logging for IVE features (as described in Enabling clientside logging and global options on page 680), you can also enable automatic upload of those logs at the role level. When you do, IVE end-users and Secure Meeting attendees who are members of the enabled roles can choose to push their log files up to the IVE at will. Then, you can view the uploaded files through the System > Log/Monitoring > Client Logs > Uploaded Logs page of the admin console (as described in Viewing uploaded client-side logs on page 682). When you upload log files to an IVE that is a node in a cluster, keep the following guidelines in mind: You can use the Log Node column on the System > Log/Monitoring > Client Logs > Uploaded Logs tab to view the location of existing log files collected by nodes in the cluster. This is specific to a cluster setup and does not apply to a single IVE deployment. The user uploads logs to the cluster node to which he is connected. You can view upload log entries across all nodes in a cluster. You can save and unzip your uploaded log files from the respective nodes in the cluster where the user uploaded the logs. You can only manipulate (save, delete) uploaded log files on a cluster node from the IVE to which they have been uploaded. When a node is removed from a cluster, the IVE deletes the logs of that node from the Uploaded Log List in the cluster and from the node.

If you enable end-users to push log files up to the IVE (as described in Enabling client-side log uploads on page 681), you can view the uploaded logs through the System > Log/Monitoring > Client Logs > Uploaded Logs page of the admin console. This page displays a list of uploaded log files from clients, featuring information such as the file name, date, associated user and/or realm, client access component type, and the log node.
NOTE: The IVE does not preserve uploaded logs when you upgrade the IVE. To preserve the logs, you may archive them using options in the Maintenance > Archiving > Archiving Servers page of the admin console. (For more information, see Creating local backups of IVE configuration files on page 630.) You can also set the log-related SNMP traps to capture log events during the log upload using options in the System > Log/Monitoring > SNMP page of the admin console. (For more information, see Monitoring the IVE as an SNMP agent on page 673.)

To view client log upload details: 1. In the admin console, choose System > Log/Monitoring > Client Logs > Uploaded Logs. 2. (Optional) Refresh uploaded client log details by clicking the Refresh Logs button. 3. (Optional) View or save an uploaded log by clicking on its respective link. 4.

Viewing general status

When you sign in to the admin console, the IVE displays the System > Status page, showing the Overview tab. This tab summarizes details about the IVE server and system users. When you make changes on other admin console pages, the IVE updates corresponding information on the Overview tab.
NOTE: This tab is the home page for all administrators, including delegated administrators without read or write access to the System > Status tabs.

Viewing system capacity utilization

The Central Manager dashboard for Secure Access appliances provides system capacity utilization graphs that allow you to easily view and understand how much of your system capacity you are using on a regular basis. To use this information for data reporting elsewhere, export it as an XML file using options on the Maintenance > Import/Export > Configuration page. These graphs are displayed in the System > Status > Overview tab when you open the admin console, and allow you to easily view: Concurrent UsersThis graph shows the number of users signed into the IVE. In clustered environments, the graph includes two lines. The first line displays the number of local users signed into the node selected from the drop-down list and the second line displays the number concurrent users signed into the entire cluster. Concurrent MeetingsThis graph shows the number of meetings that are currently in progress. In clustered environments, the graph includes two lines. The first line displays the number of meetings running on the node selected from the drop-down list and the second line displays the number meetings running on the entire cluster.
NOTE: The IVE averages the numbers it displays in the concurrent meeting graph,

which means it may show fractional numbers in the display. Also note that the IVE sometimes displays numbers in thousandths (or millis represented by an m). For example, in order to represent that an average of .5 meetings ran simultaneously during a given time frame, the IVE displays 500 m in the concurrent meetings graph. Hits Per SecondThis graph shows the number of hits currently being processed by the IVE. In a clustered environment, you may choose an IVE from the drop-down list to determine which nodes data is displayed in the graph. The graph includes four lines: number of hits, number of Web hits, number of file hits, and number of client/server hits. CPU and Virtual (Swap) Memory UtilizationThis graph shows the percentage of the CPU and available memory currently being used. In a clustered environment, you may choose an IVE from the drop-down list to determine which nodes data is displayed in the graph.

Simulating or tracking events

You can determine why your IVE does not allow you to accomplish a task that you desire by simulating and tracking problematic IVE events using settings in the Maintenance > Troubleshooting > User Sessions > Policy Tracing page of the admin console. This page guides you through all the realms, roles, and policies that are currently configured in the IVE and print log messages at various steps of the authentication, authorization, and access process. The events in question are related to authentication, authorization, and access for a particular user. They are entirely driven by what happens during a user session. This applies to both simulation and policy tracing.

NOTE: The events that are captured do not include any other system related events. The IVE merely uses the events as a filtering mechanism to reduce the number of logs and highlight the problem.

Simulating events that cause a problem

The IVE allows you to troubleshoot problems by simulating the events causing the problem. Using the Maintenance > Troubleshooting > User Sessions> Simulation page, you can create virtual user sessions without requiring actual endusers to sign in to the IVE and recreate their problems. In addition, you can also use the Simulation tab to test new authentication and authorization policies before using them in a production environment. To use the simulator, you must specify which events you want to simulate (for example, you can create a virtual session in which John Doe signs into the Users realm at 6:00 AM from an Internet Explorer browser). Then, you must specify which events you want to record and log in the simulation. You can log three major types of events to the simulation log: Pre-AuthenticationThe IVE events that are captured will not include any other system related events. Events are merely used as a filtering mechanism to reduce the number of logs and highlight the problem. Role MappingThe IVE events that are captured will not include any other system related events. Events are merely used as a filtering mechanism to reduce the number of logs and highlight the problem. Resource PoliciesThe IVE events that are captured will not include any other system related events. Events are merely used as a filtering mechanism to reduce the number of logs and highlight the problem. To simulate a user session: 1. In the admin console, choose Maintenance > Troubleshooting > User Sessions> Simulation. 2. In the Query Name field, enter a name for the query.
690
Simulating or tracking events

Chapter 26: Troubleshooting

3. In the Username field, enter the username of the IVE user whose experience you want to simulate. Note that you may use a wildcard character (*) in place of a username. For example, if your users are signing into an anonymous server, you may want to use the wildcard character (*) since you cannot know the internal username that the IVE will assign to the user. 4. From the Realm drop down menu, select the realm of the IVE user whose experience you want to simulate. 5. If you want to determine whether the IVE applies a specific type of resource policy to a users session, enter the specific resource you want to simulate in the Resource field and select a policy type from the Resource drop-down list. Then: If you want to determine whether a user can successfully sign in to the IVE, select the Pre-Authentication checkbox. If you want to determine whether a user can successfully map to a specific role, select the Role Mapping checkbox. Note that this option controls whether role mapping results are logged to the simulator log, not whether the IVE runs role mapping rules. The IVE always runs role mapping rules, even if you do not select this checkbox. Specify the types of policies you want to log using the checkboxes in the Events to Log section. For example, if you want to test whether a user can access the Yahoo Web site, enter http://www.yahoo.com in the Resource field, select Web from the drop-down list, and select the Access checkbox in the Events to Log section. 6. In the Variables section, use a combination of text and variables to create a custom expression that reflects the exact same values as in the real session of the user who is facing a problem. For example, if you want to create a session in which the user signs in to the IVE at 6:00 AM, enter time = 6:00 AM in the Variables field. For complete instructions on how to create a custom expression, see Writing custom expressions on page 855. You may also view the syntax for a given variable by clicking the arrow next to it in the Variables Dictionary.
NOTE: If you fail to create a custom expression that includes the virtual users IP address, the IVE uses your current IP address instead. Also note that if you use the role variable to specify the role of the virtual user (for example, role=Users), the IVE ignores results from role mapping rules and assigns the virtual user to the role(s) you specify.

7. Choose one of the following options: Run SimulationRuns the specified simulation and creates an on-screen log file. Save QuerySaves the query. Save Query and Run SimulationRuns the specified simulation and also saves it for later use.

8. After running the simulation, choose Save Log As to save the simulation results to a text file.

Tracking events using policy tracing

The IVE allows you to troubleshoot problems by tracking events when a user signs into a realm. The Maintenance > Troubleshooting > User Sessions > Policy Tracing page allows you record a policy trace file for an individual user, the IVE displays log entries that list the users actions and indicates why he is allowed or denied access to various functions such as accessing the Web or a file server. For example, you may create a Human Resources realm and create two rolemapping rules within the realm: All EmployeesWithin this role, you only enable web browsing. You map users to the role using the rule: if username = *, map to All Employees. In other words, any user who is allowed to sign into the realm automatically maps to the All Employees role. Human Resources StaffWithin this role, you enable web, file, and meeting functionality. You map users to the role using the rule: if LDAP group=human resources, map to Human Resources Staff. In other words, a user must belong to the humanresources group on the LDAP authentication server in order to map to the role. You may think that Joe should be a member of both roles, but when he signs into the IVE, he cannot access the file browsing or Secure Meeting functionality enabled in the Human Resources Staff role. When you turn on policy tracing to determine why Joe cannot access all of expected functionality, you may see log entries similar to those displayed in Figure 46.
NOTE: User access logs are only reported for policies that are checked under Events to Log.

692

Simulating or tracking events

Chapter 26: Troubleshooting

Figure 46: Maintenance > Troubleshooting > User Session > Policy Tracing> Policy Trace File

By reviewing the trace file, you can determine the problem in entry PTR10218:
joe(human resources realm)-No match on rule group.humanresources

This entry shows that the IVE did not map Joe to the Human Resource Staff role because he is not a member of the humanresources group on the LDAP server. Use this tab if your users are having problems accessing functions they expect to use in their roles. The events logged in the policy trace file may help you diagnose these problems. Note that To create a policy trace file: 1. In the admin console, choose Maintenance > Troubleshooting > User Sessions > Policy Tracing. 2. In the User field, enter the IVE username of the user you want to trace. Note that you may use a wildcard character (*) in place of a username. For example, if your users are signing into an anonymous server, you may want to use the wildcard character (*) since you cannot know the internal username that the IVE will assign to the user. 3. In the Realm field, select the users realm. Note that the IVE does not allow you to select a realm that maps to an anonymous authentication server. 4. Under Events to log, select the types of events you want to write to the policy tracing log file. 5. Click Start Recording. Ask the user to sign into the IVE after you have started recording. 6. Click View Log to see the log entries. 7. Click Stop Recording when you have obtained enough information.

Click Clear Log to clear the contents of the log file, or click Delete Trace to clear the contents of the log file and to remove the default entries from the username and realm fields.

Recording sessions
When a Web site does not display properly through the IVE, the Maintenance > Troubleshooting > Session Recording tab allows you to record a trace file that lists a users actions. In addition, you can use this tab when connecting to a client/server application that does not behave as expected through the IVE. When you start recording a trace file, the IVE signs out the specified user and then starts recording all user actions after the user signs in again and is authenticated. Note that the IVE notifies the user after authentication that user actions are being recorded. To record a trace file: 1. In the admin console, choose Maintenance > Troubleshooting > Session Recording. 2. Enter the username of the user whose session you want to record. 3. Select the Web (DSRecord) checkbox to record the users web session and then select the Ignore browser cache checkbox if you want to ignore cached copies of the problem Web site, which the IVE would not otherwise record as a part of the trace file (optional). 4. Select the Client/Server (JCP+NCP) checkbox to record Java Communication Protocol and Network Communication Protocol client/server application sessions (optional). 5. Click Start Recording. The IVE signs out the user. 6. Instruct the user to sign in again and browse to the problem Web site or connect to the client/server application through the IVE. 7. Click Stop Recording. 8.

Creating snapshots of the IVE system state

The Maintenance > Troubleshooting > System Snapshot tab allows you to create a snapshot of the IVE system state. When you use this option, the IVE runs various utilities to gather details on the IVE system state, such as the amount of memory in use, paging performance, the number of processes running, system uptime, the number of open file descriptors, ports in use, and Secure Access FIPS log messages. You can choose to include or exclude system configuration and debug logs. However debug logs are particularly important in the event of a problem. You will need to set the debug log at a certain level and add the events list as directed by your Support representative. Recreate the problem or event. Then take a snapshot and send it to Support. The debug log is encrypted. You cannot view it. The IVE stores up to ten snapshots, which are packaged into an encrypted dump file that you can download to a network machine and then email to Juniper Networks Support. If you take more than ten snapshots, the IVE overwrites the oldest snapshot file with the new snapshot. To take a snapshot of the IVE system state: 1. In the admin console, choose Maintenance > Troubleshooting > System Snapshot. 2. Select the Include system config checkbox to include system configuration information in your snapshot (optional). 3. Select the Include debug log checkbox to include log file created through the Debug Log tab in your system snapshot. For more information, see Creating debugging logs on page 699. 4. Select Schedule automatic snapshots to automatically take a snapshot at regular intervals. Enter how often you want to take a snapshot (in hours) and the maximum file size of each snapshot (in MB). 5. Click Take Snapshot. 6. When the IVE finishes taking the snapshot, click Download to download the file to a network machine. 7. Email the file to Juniper Networks Support for review. 8. When you are finished, click Delete to delete the snapshot.
NOTE: You can also take a system snapshot from the serial console. This method

is useful if you cannot get to the admin console and need to save the system configuration. For more information, see Performing common recovery tasks on page 817.

Creating TCP dump files

The Maintenance > Troubleshooting > TCP Dump tab allows you to sniff network packet headers and save the results in an encrypted dump file that you can download to a network machine and then email to Juniper Networks Support. This feature uses the TCP/IP network stack to capture packets at the TCP layer. It captures all communication that passes through the IVE. However, certain encrypted higher level protocols cannot be decrypted. This feature is useful for troubleshooting common customer problems. A TCP dump file helps the Juniper Networks Support team observe the communication protocols used between IVE and any other intranet server and how the intranet server responded to requests from the IVE. On the admin console, you can select which interface you want to capture packets from, whether internal or external, you can select promiscuous mode, which increases the level of detail in the dump file, and you can specify a filter. To sniff network packet headers: 1. In the admin console, choose Maintenance > Troubleshooting > TCP Dump. 2. Select the IVE port on which you want to sniff network packet headers. 3. If you are operating with an IVS license, you can also select a VLAN port to sniff packet headers for a subscriber intranet. For more information, see Troubleshooting VLANs on page 788. 4. Turn off Promiscuous mode to sniff only for packets intended for the IVE. 5. Create a custom filter using TCPDump Filter Expressions (optional). This option provides the ability to filter the sniffed network packets so that the resulting dump file contains only the information you require. See Table 44 below for examples. 6.

Testing IVE network connectivity

The Maintenance > Troubleshooting > Commands tab allows you to run UNIX commands such as arp, ping, traceroute, and NSlookup to test IVE network connectivity. You can use these connectivity tools to see the network path from the IVE to a specified server. If you can ping or traceroute to the IVE and the IVE can ping the target server, any remote users should be able to access the server through the IVE.

Address Resolution Protocol (ARP)

Use the arp command to map IP network addresses to the hardware addresses. The Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) allows you to resolve hardware addresses. To resolve the address of a server in your network, a client process on the IVE sends information about its unique identify to a server process executed on a server in the intranet. The server process then returns the required address to the client process.

Ping
Use the ping command to verify that the IVE can connect to other systems on the network. In the event of a network failure between the local and remote nodes, you will not receive a reply from a pinged device. In that case, contact your LAN administrator for help. The ping command sends packets to a server and returns the server response, typically a set of statistics including the target servers IP address, the time spent sending packets and receiving the response, and other data. You can ping unicast or multicast addresses, and you must include the target server name in the request.

Traceroute
Use the traceroute command to discover the path that a packet takes from the IVE to another host. Traceroute sends a packet to a destination server and receives an ICMP TIME_EXCEEDED response from each gateway along its path. The TIME_EXCEEDED responses and other data are recorded and displayed in the output, showing the path of the packet round-trip. To run a UNIX command to test IVE network connectivity: 1. In the admin console, choose Maintenance > Troubleshooting > Commands. 2. From the Command list, select the command to run. 3. In the Target Server field, enter the IP address of the target server. 4. If you are operating on an IVS license, you can select a VLAN port, to test connectivity to a subscriber intranet. For more information, see Troubleshooting VLANs on page 788. 5. Enter other arguments or options. 6. Click OK to run the command.

NSlookup
Use NSlookup to get detailed information about a name server on the network. You can query on several different types of information, including a servers IP address, alias IP address, start-of-authority record, mail exchange record, user information, well-known services information, and other types of information. To run NSLookup to test name server connectivity: 1. In the admin console, choose Maintenance > Troubleshooting > Commands. 2. From the Command list, select NSLookup. 3. Select the Query Type from the drop down menu. 4. Enter the query, which is a host name, an IP address, or other information, depending on your selection of query type. 5.

Configuring group communication monitoring on a cluster

If you have a problem with a cluster, a Juniper Networks Support representative may ask you to create a snapshot that includes group communication statistics to assist with debugging the cluster problem. When you enable the group communication monitor on the Maintenance > Troubleshooting > Clustering Group Communication tab, the IVE records statistics related to all of the cluster nodes on your system. As the local node communicates with other nodes in the cluster, the IVE captures statistics related to intra-cluster communication. The Maintenance > Troubleshooting > Clustering Group Communication tab appears only when you enable clustering on your system. On a standalone IVE, you do not have access to the Maintenance > Troubleshooting > Clustering Group Communication tab. You can also enable the cluster networking troubleshooting server on the Maintenance > Troubleshooting > Clustering Network Connectivity page. For more information, see Configuring network connectivity monitoring on a cluster on page 702.
NOTE:

Performing excessive node monitoring can impact your system performance and stability. You should only perform extensive monitoring when directed by your Juniper Networks Support representative. Performing log synchronization across cluster nodes can impact your system performance and stability. We recommend a minimum 2 Mbit connection for cluster node communication. To enable group communication monitoring: 1. Enter the maximum size for the statistics log. 2. Enter the interval, in seconds, at which events are to be logged. 3. If you want to monitor all cluster nodes from the current local node, select the Monitor all cluster nodes from this node checkbox. If you do not check this option, the group communication monitor gathers statistics only for the local node.

Configuring network connectivity monitoring on a cluster

If you have a problem with a cluster, a Juniper Networks Support representative may ask you to enable the cluster node troubleshooting server. When you enable the server on the Maintenance > Troubleshooting > Clustering Network Connectivity tab, the IVE attempts to establish connectivity between the node on which the server resides and another node you specify. As the nodes communicate, the IVE displays network connectivity statistics on the page. The Maintenance > Troubleshooting > Clustering Network Connectivity tab appears only when you enable clustering on your system. On a standalone IVE, you do not have access to the Maintenance > Troubleshooting > Clustering Network Connectivity tab. Use the Network Connectivity page to enable the cluster node troubleshooting server and to select a node on which to perform troubleshooting tasks. The troubleshooting tool allows you to determine the network connectivity between cluster nodes. The server component of this tool runs on the node to which connectivity is being tested. The client component runs on the node from which connectivity is being tested. The basic scenario for testing connectivity is this: The administrator starts the server component on the passive node. The administrator then tests the connectivity to the server node from the Active node, by starting the client component on the Active node and contacting the Passive node running the server component.

NOTE: The server component must be run on nodes that are configured as either standalone, or in a cluster but disabled. Cluster services cannot be running on the same node as the server component.

1. Select the Enable cluster network troubleshooting server checkbox to enable the server component. 2. Click Save Changes. 3.

Clustering
You can purchase a clustering license to deploy two or more Secure Access or Secure Access FIPS appliances as a cluster. These appliances support Active/Passive or Active/Active configurations across a LAN or a WAN to provide high availability, increased scalability, and load balancing capabilities. You define a cluster on one IVE by specifying three pieces of data: 1. A name for the cluster 2. A password for the cluster members to share 3. A name to identify the machine in the cluster Entering this information enables you to initiate the first member of your cluster. You then need to specify which IVEs you want to add to the cluster. After an IVE is identified as an intended member, you may add it to the cluster through its: Admin consoleIf a configured IVE is running as a stand-alone machine, you can add it to a cluster through its admin console. Serial consoleIf an IVE is in its factory-state, you can add it to a cluster through its serial console by entering minimal information during initial setup. When an IVE joins a cluster, it initializes its state from the existing member that you specify. The new member sends a message to the existing member requesting synchronization. The existing member sends the system state to the new member, overwriting all system data on that machine. After that point, the cluster members synchronize data when there is a state change on any member. Cluster member communication is encrypted to prevent attacks from inside the corporate firewall. Each IVE uses the shared password to decrypt communication from another cluster member. For security reasons, the cluster password is not synchronized across IVEs. Note that during synchronization, the new node receives the service package, which upgrades the node if it is equipped with a Central Manager license and is running an older service package. This section contains the following information about clustering: Licensing: Clustering availability on page 706 Task summary: Deploying a cluster on page 706

Licensing: Clustering availability

The clustering feature is not available on the SA 700 appliance and is only available on all other Secure Access products by special license. You can run an IVE with an IVS license in a cluster. For more information, see Clustering a virtualized IVE on page 773.
NOTE: All IVEs in a cluster must feature the same cluster license. You cannot add an ADD and a CL license to the same machine at the same time. For a node to be able to join a cluster, you must add a CL license to the node.

Task summary: Deploying a cluster

To create an IVE cluster: 1. Make sure that all intended IVE nodes are the same hardware platform (for example, all Secure Access 3000 machines). 2. Make sure all intended IVE nodes have been initially configured (IVE host name specified and internal and external IP addresses assigned, for example), and are running the same service package version. 3. Enable the clustering feature by entering your clustering license through the System > Configuration > Licensing page of the admin console. 4. Initialize the IVE cluster through the System > Clustering > Create Cluster page of the admin console by defining the cluster name and adding the first/primary IVE to the cluster. For instructions, see Defining and initializing a cluster on page 708. 5. Add the names and IP addresses of future cluster IVEs to the primary IVE through the System > Clustering > Status page of the admin console. For instructions, see Joining an existing cluster on page 710. 6. Populate the cluster with additional IVEs as necessary through the System > Clustering > Join Cluster page of the admin console. For instructions, see Adding an IVE to a cluster through its admin console on page 711 or, in the case of a pre-configured/factory-set IVE, Joining an IVE to a cluster through its serial console on page 728. 7. If you are running Network Connect on a multi-site cluster where nodes reside on different subnets:

706

Licensing: Clustering availability

Chapter 27: Clustering

a.

Configure an IP address pool policy on the Users > Resource Policies > Network Connect > Network Connect Connection Profiles > New Profile page that accounts for the different network addresses used by each node in the cluster.

b. For each node in the cluster, use settings in the System > Network > Network Connect page of the admin console to specify an IP filter that filters out only those network addresses available to that node. c. Create a static route on your gateway router that indicates the IP address of the internal port of each cluster node. Each IP address specified on the router needs to be in the same subnetwork as the corresponding cluster node.

8. If you are creating a cluster of Secure Access FIPS appliances, manually update the security world on each of the machines, as explained in Deploying a cluster in an Secure Access FIPS environment on page 830.

NOTE:

When running Network Connect on an Active/Active cluster, you must split the IP address pool across the nodes to ensure proper routing from the back end to the NC end-user. This is a requirement whether the IP address pool is provisioned statically on the IVE or dynamically by way of DHCP. Refer to Creating Network Connect connection profiles on page 539 for more details. The client IP pool configuration is synchronized among all nodes in a cluster; however, administrators may configure each IVE to use a certain subset of the global IP pool. Configure the client IP pool in the Network Settings > Network Connect tab, using an IP filter match. We recommend that you deploy a cluster first in a staging environment and then move to a production environment after testing authentication realm, user role, and resource policy configurations, as well as any applications your end-users may access.

Creating and configuring a cluster

If an IVE is not part of a cluster (i.e., stand-alone mode), its Clustering page displays the Create tab. The Create tab allows you create the configurations for cluster nodes, even if you have no physical devices available to join the cluster. After you add a clustering license to the IVE, its Clustering page displays the Join tab. The Join tab enables you to join an initialized IVE to an existing cluster, as explained in Joining an existing cluster on page 710.

Creating and configuring a cluster

707

Juniper Networks Secure Access Administration Guide

After creating the cluster, the Clustering page shows Status and Properties tabs, which replace the original Join and Create tabs. Use the Status tab to specify an IVE to add to a cluster, manage network settings for cluster nodes, and upgrade the cluster service package. Use the Properties tab to specify active/passive, active/active, and other cluster settings. You can also use this tab to delete a cluster.
NOTE:

The Create tab does not appear on an IVE that does not possess the cluster license key. You cannot create a cluster unless you have entered a cluster license key. All nodes in a cluster must feature the same license key as on the primary cluster IVE to enable cluster operation. You cannot add an ADD and a CL license to the same machine at the same time. For a node to be able to join a cluster, you must add a CL license to the node. This section contains the following information about clustering: Defining and initializing a cluster on page 708 Joining an existing cluster on page 710 Deploying a cluster in an Secure Access FIPS environment on page 830
NOTE: For information about how to set up a cluster in a:

Service provider network that is operating with an IVS license, see Clustering a virtualized IVE on page 773. Secure Access FIPS environment, see Deploying a cluster in an Secure Access FIPS environment on page 830

Defining and initializing a cluster

If you are currently running stand-alone IVEs that you want to cluster, we recommend that before you create a cluster, you first configure system and user settings on one machine. After doing so, use the same machine to create the cluster. This machine joins the cluster as part of the creation process. When other IVEs join the cluster, this machine propagates its configuration to the new cluster member. To define and initialize a cluster: 1. Configure one IVE with the appropriate license and system, user, resource, and application data, as explained in Task summary: Deploying a cluster on page 706.

708

Chapter 27: Clustering

2. Choose System > Clustering > Create, enter a name for the cluster, a cluster password, and a name for this machine, such as Server-1.
NOTE: You need to enter the password again when configuring additional IVEs to join the cluster. All machines in the cluster use this password to communicate.

3. Click Create Cluster. When prompted to confirm cluster creation, click Create. After the IVE initializes the cluster, the Clustering page shows the Status and Properties tabs. Use the Status tab to specify additional cluster members before trying to add another IVE to the new cluster. For more information, see Specifying an IVE to join to a cluster on page 710.

Juniper Networks Secure Access Administration Guide

Joining an existing cluster

Use the Join tab to add an IVE to an existing cluster. The method you use to add an IVE to a cluster depends on whether or not the IVE is configured or un-initialized (still in its factory state). For an IVE in its factory state, we recommend that you use the serial console procedure because it requires you to enter minimal information in order for the machine to join a cluster. For more information, see Joining an IVE to a cluster through its serial console on page 728.
NOTE:

If you purchased the Juniper Networks SA Central Manager, you can create a cluster using the IVE running the latest OS version and then add additional nodes using the upgrade and join functionality. When you add a node to a cluster using this feature, the first IVE node upgrades the joining node with the more current service package. This functionality works only when all the IVEs are running version 4.0 or later of the OS. If you want to add an IVE currently running as a stand-alone machine to a cluster through its admin console, and you do not have Central Manager, it must be running the same or a more recent version service package on the same hardware platform as the other members. If you add an IVE running a previous version service package to a cluster, the IVE automatically detects the mismatch, gets the newer package from the cluster, and joins the cluster. If the new node has no license, it is added with cluster status set to Enabled, Unqualified until you apply a valid CL license using the new nodes machine ID. For more information, see Entering or upgrading IVE licenses on page 580. In an Secure Access FIPS environment, you must use the admin console to add an IVE to a cluster. You also must have physical access to: The cryptographic modules installed in the front panels of the cluster members IVE appliances A smart card reader An administrator card that is pre-initialized to the active cluster members security world

Specifying an IVE to join to a cluster

Before an IVE can join a cluster, you need to specify its network identity on an active cluster member. To specify an IVE that you intend to join to an existing cluster: 1. In the admin console of an active cluster member, choose the System > Clustering > Status tab. 2. Click Add Member to specify an IVE that will join the cluster: a. Enter a name for the member.

d. Change the netmask and gateway settings for the node if necessary. e. f. g. Click Add Node. When prompted to confirm adding the new member, click Add. Repeat this procedure for each IVE you intend to add to a cluster.

Adding an IVE to a cluster through its admin console

Before you can add an IVE to a cluster (either through the Web or serial console), you need to make its identity known to the cluster. To specify an IVE that you intend to add to a cluster, see Specifying an IVE to join to a cluster on page 710. Note that if an IVE does not have a cluster license key, it has only a Clustering > Join tab. To add an IVE to a cluster through its admin console: 1. In the admin console of an existing cluster member, choose the System > Clustering > Status tab and specify the IVE you want to add to the cluster. See Specifying an IVE to join to a cluster on page 710. 2. In the admin console of the IVE you want to add to a cluster: a. Choose the System > Configuration > Licensing tab and enter the correct license key (containing the machine type, the initials CL to indicate a cluster, and the number of user licensesfor example, SA6000-CL1000U) to enable the clustering feature.

b. Choose the System > Clustering > Join tab and enter: The name of the cluster to join The cluster password you specified when defining the cluster The IP address of an active cluster member 3. Click Join Cluster. When prompted to confirm joining the cluster, click Join. After the IVE joins the cluster, you may need to sign in again. 4. (Secure Access FIPS environments only) Initialize the node with the active cluster members security world, as explained in Deploying a cluster in an Secure Access FIPS environment on page 830. While the new node synchronizes its state with the existing cluster member, each nodes status indicates Enabled, Enabled, Transitioning, or Enabled, Unreachable.

Deploying two nodes in an Active/Passive cluster

You can deploy IVEs as a cluster pair in Active/Passive mode. In this mode, one IVE actively serves user requests while the other IVE runs passively in the background to synchronize state data, including system state, user profile, and log messages. User requests to the cluster VIP (virtual IP address) are passed to the active IVE. If the active IVE goes off-line, the standby IVE automatically starts servicing user requests. Users do not need to sign in again, however some IVE session information entered a few seconds before the active machine went off-line, such as cookies and passwords, may not have been synchronized on the current IVE box, in which case users may need to sign in to back-end Web servers again.

712

Configuring cluster properties

Chapter 27: Clustering

You might need to fail-over the cluster VIP to the other node, manually. You can perform a manual fail-over by using the Fail-Over VIP button on the Clustering Status page. For more information, see Failing-over the VIP to another node on page 713. The following diagram illustrates an Active/Passive IVE cluster configuration using two IVEs that have enabled external ports. Note that this mode does not increase throughput or user capacity, but provides redundancy to handle unexpected system failure.
Figure 49: Active/Passive Cluster Pair

Figure 49 illustrates an Active/Passive cluster deployed within the network. IVE user requests are directed to the cluster VIP, which then routes them to the currently active machine.

Failing-over the VIP to another node

In an active/passive cluster, you might need to fail-over the VIP to the other node, regardless of which node you are currently using. To fail-over the VIP: 1. Choose System > Clustering > Status. 2. Click the Fail-Over VIP button to move to the other node. The Fail-Over VIP button is a toggle button, so you can move from one node to the other, regardless of which is the leader. The fail-over occurs immediately.

Juniper Networks Secure Access Administration Guide

Deploying two or more units in an Active/Active cluster

In Active/Active mode, all the machines in the cluster actively handle user requests sent by an external load balancer or Round-Robin DNS. The load balancer hosts the cluster VIP and routes user requests to an IVE defined in its cluster group based on source-IP routing. If an IVE goes off-line, the load balancer adjusts the load on the active IVEs. Users do not need to sign in again, however some IVE session information entered a few seconds before the active machine went off-line, such as cookies and passwords, may not have been synchronized on the current IVE box, in which case users may need to sign in to back-end Web servers again.

NOTE: When choosing and configuring a load balancer for your cluster, we

recommend that you ensure the load balancer: Supports IPSec Listens for traffic on multiple ports Can be configured to manage traffic using assigned source and destination IP addresses (not destination port) The IVE cluster itself does not perform any automatic fail-over or load-balancing operations, but it does synchronize state data (system, user, and log data) among cluster members. When an off-line IVE comes back online, the load balancer adjusts the load again to distribute it among all active members. This mode provides increased throughput and performance during peak load but does not increase scalability beyond the total number of licensed users.

NOTE: The IVE synchronizes state data on all nodes if you add or delete the host entry by using the Network Settings pages. If you add or delete the host entry using the Clustering tab for a cluster member, the state data only affects the node and the IVE does not synchronize the data across the entire cluster.

The IVE hosts an HTML page that provides service status for each IVE in a cluster. External load balancers can check this resource to determine how to effectively distribute the load among all the cluster nodes. To perform the L7 Health Check for a node: From a browserEnter the URL:
https://<IVE-Hostname>/dana-na/healthcheck/healthcheck.cgi

Using an external load balancerConfigure a Health Check policy that sends the following request to cluster nodes:
GET /dana-na/healthcheck/healthcheck.cgi HTTP/1.1\nHost: localhost

The node returns one of two values:

Cluster Enabled stringThis value means the node is active. 714
Configuring cluster properties

Chapter 27: Clustering

500This value denotes an error and cluster IVEs stop forwarding user

requests to the node. The following diagram illustrates an Active/Active IVE cluster configuration in which the IVEs have enabled external ports.
Figure 50: Active/Active Configuration

Figure 50 illustrates an Active/Active cluster configuration deployed behind an external load balancer. You can deploy a cluster pair or multi-unit cluster in Active/Active mode. IVE user requests are directed to the cluster VIP defined on the load balancer, which routes them to the appropriate machine.

Synchronizing the cluster state

IVE state synchronization occurs only by means of the internal network interface cards (NICs), and each cluster member is required to possess the cluster password in order to communicate with other members. Cluster members synchronize data when there is a state change on any member. IVE cluster state data is either persistentpermanently stored on the IVEor transientstored on the IVE only for the users session. IVE state data is divided into the following major categories: System stateThis state is persistent and does not change often. Network settings Authentication server configurations Authorization group configurations, such as access control list, bookmark, messaging, and application data

Configuring cluster properties

715

Juniper Networks Secure Access Administration Guide

User profileThis data can be either persistent or transient, depending on whether or not you have enabled persistent cookies and persistent password caching. If you have not enabled these features, then the data is transient and falls into the next category. User bookmarkspersistent Persistent user cookiesif the persistent cookies feature is enabled, the IVE stores user cookies for Web sites that issue persistent cookies Persistent user passwordsif the password caching feature is enabled, the user can choose to store her credentials for applications and Web sites User sessionThis state is transient and dynamic. User session data consists of: The user IVE session cookie Transient user profile information, which includes cookies and passwords stored only for during the users session Monitoring stateThis persistent information consists of log messages1. Whether you deploy a cluster in Active/Passive or Active/Active mode, the IVE is responsible for synchronizing data between cluster members. The IVE synchronizes all system data, user profile data, and the IVE user session cookies immediately, so if one cluster member goes off-line, users do not need to sign in to the IVE again. A small amount of latency occurs when the IVE synchronizes user session profile and monitoring state data, so if a member goes off-line, the user may need to sign in to some back-end Web applications again and administrators may not have access to the logs on the failed machine. If you notice too much latency occurring on one or more nodes, you might need to change the Clustering Timeouts Settings. For more information, see Configuring cluster properties on page 718.

NOTE: If you are running an Active/Active cluster, you must not allow the cluster to switch to Active/Passive mode unless the Active/Active and Active/Passive clusters share compatible spread timeout settings.

1. When you add an IVE to a cluster, the cluster leader does not send log messages to the new member. Log messages are also not synchronized between cluster members when one member restarts its services or when an off-line machine comes back online. Once all machines are online, however, log messages are synchronized.

You may also configure synchronization settings to improve performance: Specify the synchronization protocolWhen running three or more IVEs in a multi-unit or multi-site cluster, you can choose to use the synchronization protocol (Unicast, Multicast, or Broadcast) that best suits your network topology.
NOTE: See Specifying active/passive, active/active, and other cluster settings on page 718 for a description of the synchronization settings.

Synchronize log messagesLog messages may create a huge payload on the network and affect cluster performance. This option is disabled by default. Synchronize user sessionsSynchronizes all user session information (instances of access to intranet services, for example) among all IVEs in the cluster. Synchronize last access time for user sessionsThis option allows you to propagate user access information in the cluster. If this option is the sole synchronization item among the cluster nodes, you can significantly reduce CPU impact among the cluster IVEs.
NOTE:

If you configure your cluster to Active/Passive, the Synchronize user sessions and Synchronize last access time for user sessions options are automatically checked. The options are also disabled to prevent you from modifying them for an Active/Passive cluster. If you enable both Synchronize log messages and Synchronize user sessions options, everything is replicated on the cluster nodes, including networking information. Even though networking information, including Syslog and SNMP settings, can be configured per-node or per-cluster, all of the networking information is synchronized between nodes when these two options are set. In the case in which your cluster node configurations have diverged due to changes made to one node while another is disabled or unavailable, the IVE manages the re-merging of the configurations automatically, for up to 16 updates. Beyond the maximum number of allowable updates, you may need to intervene and re-merge the configurations manually. In some instances, the IVE may be unable to re-merge the configurations if there is not enough overlapping configuration information between two nodes to manage the inter-node communication. For example, given a two node cluster in which the two nodes are partitioned from each other due to a network outage, if the internal network IP address of one of the nodes gets changed in one of the partitions, the two partitions are unable to rejoin, even when the network is repaired. In such a case, you must manually re-merge the configurations.

Configuring cluster properties

Use the Properties tab to specify active/passive, active/active, and other cluster settings. You can also use this tab to delete a cluster. Specifying active/passive, active/active, and other cluster settings Use the Properties tab to change the name of a cluster, specify in which configuration to run a cluster (active/passive or active/active), specify synchronization and network healthcheck settings, or delete a cluster. To modify cluster properties: 1. In the admin console of an active cluster member, choose the System > Clustering > Properties tab. 2. Edit the Cluster Name field to change the clusters name (optional). 3. Under Configuration Settings, select: Active/Passive to run a cluster pair in active/passive mode. Then, specify an internal VIP (virtual IP address) and an external VIP if the external port is enabled.
NOTE: To run a two-unit cluster in active/passive mode, the IVEs need to be reside on the same subnet.

Active/Active to run a cluster of two or more nodes in active/active mode using an external load balancer.

NOTE: To change a two-unit active/passive cluster to an active/active cluster with more than two nodes, first change the configuration of the two-unit cluster to active/active and then add the additional nodes.

4. Under Synchronization Settings, specify the synchronization protocol and one or more types of data to synchronize using the following options: a. Specify the synchronization protocol to use when synchronizing data among cluster nodes by selecting one of the following: UnicastSelect this option to direct synchronization data transmissions to other nodes in the cluster, one after the other. MulticastSelect this option to distribute data to the other nodes in the cluster, simultaneously. We recommend this method for large networks where cluster IVEs may reside on subnets with other machines (routers, switches, and authentication servers, for example) to prevent simply broadcasting synchronization data all over the network when its really only intended for a small audience of cluster nodes.

718

Configuring cluster properties

Chapter 27: Clustering

BroadcastSelect this option to automatically broadcast synchronization data to all machines on the subnet.
NOTE: Only cluster members residing on the same subnet use anything other than the Unicast transport setting you specify on the Properties tab. For example, you can use the Multicast synchronization method among the cluster members in a four-node cluster residing on the same subnet, but nodes on that subnet can only communicate with nodes on other subnets using Unicast.

b. Select one or more types of data to synchronize (this option is disabled by default): Synchronize log messagesSelect this option to propagate all log messages among all of the IVEs in the cluster.1 Synchronize user sessionsSelect this option to synchronize all user session information (instances of access to intranet services, for example) among all IVEs in the cluster. Synchronize last access time for user sessionsSelect this option to propagate the latest user access information across the cluster.
NOTE:

If you enable both Synchronize log messages and Synchronize user sessions options, everything is replicated on the cluster nodes, including networking information. Even though networking information, including Syslog and SNMP settings, can be configured per-node or per-cluster, all of the networking information is synchronized between nodes when these two options are set. If you are using a load balancer in conjunction with the IVE, we recommend you disable the Synchronize last access time for user sessions option. While turning the Synchronize last access time for user sessions option off can greatly improve cluster synchronization performance, disabling this option while users are connected to the IVE can result in client-side warnings informing the user that the session is about to expire. These warnings are automatically generated due to time-stamp mismatches and the user sessions do not actually disconnect. Do not run session synchronization over a WAN connection. Once the operation applies a medium load across the WAN, the synchronization activity between nodes will consume significant resources, the activity will appear to hang, and the resource degradation can trigger a restart. We recommend that any cluster node communication be operated on a connection with speed of 2 Mbits or more.

1. When you add an IVE to a cluster, the cluster leader does not send log messages to the new member. Log messages are also not synchronized between cluster members when one member restarts its services or when an off-line machine comes back online. Once all machines are online, however, log messages are synchronized.

5. Under Network Healthcheck Settings, specify the number of ARP ping failures allowed before the IVEs internal interface is disabled and whether or not to disable the IVEs external interface if the internal interface fails. 6. Under Clustering Timeouts Settings, select the network type to control the timeouts for the underlying cluster system. Use this option if you note network delays or significant loads during cluster node operations. Although modifying this value may improve performance, we do not recommend that you change the value unless you are experiencing cluster partitioning problems. The default value is preset based on what Juniper Networks has determined is most appropriate for your configuration. The values, from which you can select, have been determined as appropriate for LAN configurations or, if the nodes configured in the cluster are in different subnets, for WAN configurations.
NOTE: Changing the Clustering Timeouts Settings value causes IVE cluster services to restart.

7. Click Save Changes.

2. Click Add Members. 3. Enter the node name and internal IP address. 4. Modify or add the default internal netmask and internal gateway addresses, if necessary. 5. Click Add. 6. Repeat the process until you have added all of the nodes. 7. Click Save Changes to save the node configurations. The IVE automatically enables the added clusters, even if they are unreachable.

Managing network settings for cluster nodes

To modify the network settings for a cluster or each individual node in a cluster, you need to use the System > Network pages. After you create a cluster, these pages provide a drop-down list from which you can select the entire cluster or a specific node to modify. When you save changes on a Network page, the settings are saved for the specified cluster or cluster node. If you change network settings for an entire cluster, they propagate to every node in the cluster.
NOTE: You can access a node-specific Network page by clicking on the nodes name in the Member Name column of the Clustering > Status tab.
Figure 51: System > Network pages

Upgrading clustered nodes

The Juniper Networks SA Central Manager offers the ability to easily upgrade every node in a cluster. You simply install a newer service package on one node and, once the installation completes and the node reboots, the node pushes the service package to all nodes in the cluster. If you have not purchased the Juniper Networks SA Central Manager you can still upgrade clustered nodes, but the process requires you to disable nodes within the cluster, upgrade them individually, and then enable them within the cluster again.

Managing and configuring clusters

721

Juniper Networks Secure Access Administration Guide

For more information about disabling nodes to upgrade the service package, see Upgrading the cluster service package on page 722.
NOTE: If you import an XML configuration file into a cluster, all members of a cluster are disabled and all end-user sessions are terminated during the import process. After the import process completes, the cluster members are automatically enabled but users must sign-in again. For more information, see Importing XML configuration data on page 647.

Upgrading the cluster service package

If you purchased the Juniper Networks SA Central Manager, you simply need to install a newer service package on one cluster node. When the installation process completes and the cluster node reboots, it instructs the other nodes to upgrade. See Upgrading or downgrading the IVE on page 575 for more information about installing a service package. If you are not running the Juniper Networks SA Central Manager, you need to follow different procedures for upgrading clustered nodes. Furthermore, the procedures for upgrading nodes in an active/active cluster differ from the procedures for upgrading nodes in an active/passive cluster. To upgrade nodes in an active/active cluster: 1. Disable all nodes: a. Sign in to the admin console of one the nodes you want to upgrade.

b. Choose System > Clustering > Status, select the checkbox next to all node names, then click Disable.
NOTE: Disabling all nodes in a cluster renders the entire cluster unusable and only

administrators can sign in. 2. Upgrade all nodes individually using the instructions in Upgrading or downgrading the IVE on page 575. 3. Enable all nodes: a. Browse to the System > Clustering > Status page in the admin console of one of the nodes.

b. Select the checkbox next to all node names, then click Enable. To upgrade all nodes in an active/passive cluster: 1. Disable the passive node: a. Sign in to the admin console of the passive node you want to upgrade.

722

Managing and configuring clusters

Chapter 27: Clustering

b. Choose System > Clustering > Status, select the checkbox next to one or more node names, then click Disable.
NOTE: Disabling only the passive node leaves the active node enabled to continue serving users.

2. Upgrade the passive node using the instructions in Upgrading or downgrading the IVE on page 575. 3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 for other passive nodes. 4. Disable the active node by choosing System > Clustering > Status, select the checkbox next to the active node name, then click Disable. 5. Enable a passive node: a. Browse to the System > Clustering > Status page in the admin console of one of the nodes.

b. Select the checkbox next to all passive node names, then click Enable. 6. Upgrade the active node using the instructions in Upgrading or downgrading the IVE on page 575. 7. Enable the active node: a. Browse to the System > Clustering > Status page in the admin console of one of the nodes.

b. Select the checkbox next to the active node name, then click Enable.

Deleting a cluster
If you delete a cluster, all of the nodes begin running as stand-alone IVE systems. To delete a cluster: 1. In the admin console of an active cluster member, choose the System > Clustering > Cluster Status tab. 2. Select the checkbox next to each cluster node you want to delete. 3. Select Remove Cluster. 4. When prompted, click Remove. When the operation completes, all cluster nodes begin running as stand-alone IVE systems.

Restarting or rebooting clustered nodes

When you create a cluster of two or more IVEs, the clustered IVEs act as a logical entity. As such, when you restart or reboot one of the clustered IVEs using either the serial console or the admin console, all IVEs in the cluster restart or reboot.
Managing and configuring clusters

723

Juniper Networks Secure Access Administration Guide

If you want to restart or reboot only one IVE in a cluster, first use the controls on the System > Clustering > Status page to disable the IVE you want to restart or reboot within the cluster. Next, use the controls on the Maintenance > System > Platform page, or the serial consoles Reboot this IVE, Shutdown this IVE, or Restart Services in this IVE menu items under System Operations, to restart or reboot the IVE. After the IVE restarts or reboots, enable the IVE within the cluster again.

Admin console procedures

Table 45 describes the information displayed on the Status tab and the various management tasks you can perform, including disabling, enabling, and removing an IVE node from a cluster. Procedures for performing tasks on the Status tab follow the table.
Table 45: Clustering > Status tab User Interface Element Description

Status Information labels Screen displays the cluster name, type, configuration, internal VIP, and external VIP for an active/passive cluster. Add Members button Click this button to specify an IVE that will join the cluster. You must perform this step for IVE systems you intend to add to the cluster. By clicking this button, you can add multiple nodes at the same time. Click this button to add a node that was previously disabled. When you add a node, all state information is synchronized on the node. Click this button to disable a node within the cluster. The node retains awareness of the cluster, but does not participate in state synchronizations or receive user requests unless members sign in to the node, directly. Click this button to remove the selected node or nodes from the cluster. Once removed, the node runs in stand-alone mode. Click this button to fail-over the VIP to the other node in the active/passive cluster. Only available if cluster is configured as active/passive. Lists all nodes belonging to the cluster. You can click on a nodes name to modify its name and network settings. Shows the internal IP address of the cluster member using Classless Inter Domain Routing (CIDR) notation.

Status column

Description
Shows the current state of the node: Green light/enabledThe node is handling user requests and participating in cluster synchronization. Yellow light/transitioningThe node is joining cluster. Red light/disabledThe node is not handling user requests or participating in cluster synchronization. Red light/enabled, unreachableThe node is enabled, but due to a network issue, it cannot be reached. Note: A nodes state is considered stand-alone when it is deployed outside of a cluster or after being removed from a cluster.

Notes column

Shows the status of the nodes connection to the cluster: OKThe node is actively participating in the cluster. TransitioningThe node is switching from the stand-alone state to the enabled state. UnreachableThe node is not aware of the cluster. A cluster member may be unreachable even when its online and can be pinged. Possible reasons include: its password is incorrect, it doesnt know about all cluster nodes, its configured with a different group communication mode, its running a different service package version, or the machine is turned off.

Sync Rank column

Specifies the synchronization order for nodes when rejoining a cluster. Accepts sync ranks from 0 (lowest rank) to 255 (highest rank). The highest rank takes precedence. Where two nodes have identical sync ranks, the alpha-numeric rank of the member name is used to determine precedence. Note: This option is available only with a Central Manager license.

Update button

Updates the sync rank after you change the precedence of the nodes in the Sync Rank column.

Monitoring clusters
You can monitor clusters using the standard logging tools provided by the IVE. In particular, you can use several cluster-specific SNMP traps to monitor events that occur on your cluster nodes, such as: External interface down Internal interface down Disabled node Changed virtual IP (VIP) Deleted cluster node (cluster stop)

Managing and configuring clusters

725

Juniper Networks Secure Access Administration Guide

NOTE: Generally, it is desirable to configure your SNMP traps on a cluster-wide basis, so that any given cluster node can send its generated traps to the right target. Setting up cluster-wide configuration for the traps is particularly important when you also use a load balancer, because you may not know which node is responsible for a specific operation. In that case, the load balancer may independently determine which cluster node can manage an administrative session.

You can use SNMP traps that are included in the Juniper Standard MIB to monitor these events. These traps include:
iveNetExternalInterfaceDownTrapSupplies type of event that brought down

the external interface.

iveNetInternalInterfaceDownTrapSupplies type of event that brought down the internal interface. iveClusterDisableNodeTrapSupplies the cluster name on which nodes have

been disabled, along with a space separated list of disabled node names.
iveClusterChangedVIPTrapSupplies the type of the VIP, whether external or internal, and its value before and after the change. iveClusterDeleteSupplies the name of the cluster node on which the cluster delete event was initiated.

These traps are always enabled and available in the MIB. You cannot disable the traps. For more information about the specific traps, see Status/error objects on page 677.

Troubleshooting clusters
When you have problems with cluster communication, you may be directed by your Juniper Support representative to use the cluster node troubleshooting tools, as provided in Maintenance > Troubleshooting > Node Monitor, in Maintenance > Troubleshooting > Clustering Network Connectivity, and in Maintenance > Troubleshooting > Clustering Group Communication. For more information, see Monitoring cluster nodes on page 700. You can use a built-in feature on the clustering Status page to identify the status of each cluster node. Hover the mouse pointer over the Status light icon and the system displays a tool tip containing a hexadecimal number. The hexadecimal number is a snapshot of the status of the IVE. It is a bit mask indicating a number of states as shown in Table 46.
Table 46: Cluster Status Value
0x000001 0x000002 0x000004

Meaning
IVE is in standalone mode. IVE is in cluster disabled state. IVE is in cluster enabled state.

Meaning
IVE is unreachable (because it is offline, has wrong password, has different cluster definition, different version, or a related problem). IVE is syncing state from another IVE (initial syncing phase). IVE is transitioning from one state to another. IVE int0 appears disconnected (no carrier). IVE int1 appears disconnected (no carrier). IVE is syncing its state to another IVE that is joining. Initial Synchronization as master or slave is taking place. This IVE is the leader of the cluster. The spread daemon is running and the cache server is connected to it. The gateway on int0 is unreachable for ARP pings (see log file). The gateway on int1 is unreachable for ARP pings (see log file). Leader election is taking place. Server life cycle process (dsmon) is busy. System performs post state synchronization activities. The spread daemon is running and the cache server is connected to it. The gateway on int0 is unreachable for ARP pings (see log file). IVE is in cluster enabled state.

0x38004

The spread daemon is running and the cache server is connected to it. The gateway on int0 is unreachable for ARP pings (see log file). This IVE is the leader of the cluster. IVE is in cluster enabled state.

Each code, as you see it in the IVE, may relate specifically to one state. However, each code may represent a combination of states, and so the actual code does not appear in Table 46. Instead, the code you see in the IVE is the sum of several of the hex numbers shown in Table 46. You will need to factor out the codes, as in the following example: 0x38004The right-most digit (4) in this hex number corresponds to: 0x000004 IVE is in cluster enabled state. 0x38004The digit in the 4th position from the right (8) corresponds to: 0x008000 This IVE is the leader of the cluster. 0x38004The left-most digit (3) in this hex number does not exist in the table, which indicates that corresponds to the sum of two other digits, in this case, 1 and 2, as shown in the following codes: 0x020000 The gateway on int0 is unreachable for ARP pings (see log file). 0x010000 The spread daemon is running and the cache server is connected to it.

Serial console procedures

You can add an IVE to a cluster through its serial console, except when running an Secure Access FIPS environment, which requires that you add each IVE through its admin console. If you are adding a factory-set IVE to a cluster, we recommend that you use the serial console, which enables you to join an existing cluster during the initialization process by entering minimal information. When an IVE joins a cluster, it receives the cluster state settings, which overwrites all settings on a machine with an existing configuration and provides new machines with the required preliminary information. You can also use an IVEs serial console to disable an IVE within a cluster. If an IVE is in synchronization state, you cannot access its admin console. Therefore, if you need to upgrade or reboot the IVE, for example, you need to first disable the IVE from a cluster through its serial console. Joining an IVE to a cluster through its serial console Before a configured or factory-set IVE can join a cluster, you need to make its identity known to the cluster. For instructions, see Specifying an IVE to join to a cluster on page 710.
NOTE:

If you want to add an IVE currently running as a stand-alone machine to a cluster through its admin console, it must be running the same or a more recent version service package on the same hardware platform as the other members. If you add an IVE running a previous version service package to a cluster, the IVE automatically detects the mismatch, gets the newer package from the cluster, and joins the cluster. To add an IVE to a cluster through its serial console: 1. In the admin console of an existing cluster member, choose the System > Clustering > Status tab and specify the IVE you want to add to the cluster. See Specifying an IVE to join to a cluster on page 710. 2. Connect to the serial console of the machine you want to add to the cluster. For more information, see IVE serial console on page 811. 3. Cycle the power to reboot the machine and watch its serial console. After the system software starts, a message displays stating that the machine is about to boot as a stand-alone IVE and to hit Tab for clustering options. Press the Tab key as soon as you see this option.
NOTE: The interval to press the Tab key is five seconds. If the machine begins to boot in stand-alone mode, wait for it to finish and then reboot again.

Delegating administrator roles

The IVE access management system enables you to delegate various IVE management tasks to different administrators through system administrator roles and security administrator roles. System and security administrator roles are defined entities that specify IVE management functions and session properties for administrators who are mapped to those roles. You can customize an administrator role by selecting the IVE feature sets, user roles, authentication realms, resource policies, and resource profiles that members of the administrator role are allowed to view and manage. Note that system administrators may only manage user roles, realms, and resource policies; only security administrators can manage administrator components. For example, you can create a system administrator role called Help Desk Administrators and assign users to this role who are responsible for fielding tier 1 support calls, such as helping users understand why they cannot access a Web application or IVE page. In order to help with troubleshooting, you may configure settings for the Help Desk Administrators role as follows: Allow the help desk administrators Write access to the System > Log/Monitoring page so they can view and filter the IVE logs, tracking down critical events in individual users session histories, as well as the Maintenance > Troubleshooting page so they can trace problems on individual users systems. Allow the help desk administrators Read access to the Users > User Roles pages so they can understand which bookmarks, shares, and applications are available to individual users roles, as well as the Resource Policy or Resource Profile pages so they can view the policies that may be denying individual users access to their bookmarks, shares, and applications. Deny the help desk administrators any access to the remaining System pages and Maintenance pages, which are primarily used for configuring system-wide settingssuch as installing licenses and service packagesnot for troubleshooting individual users problems.
NOTE: In addition to any delegated administrator roles that you may create, the IVE also includes two basic types of administrators: super administrators (.Administrators role), who can perform any administration task through the admin console and read-only administrators (.Read-only Administrators role), who can viewbut not changethe entire IVE configuration through the admin console.

733

Juniper Networks Secure Access Administration Guide

You can also create a security administrator role called Help Desk Manager and assign users to this role who are responsible for managing the Help Desk Administrators. You might configure settings for the Help Desk Manager role to allow the Help Desk Manager to create and delete administrator roles on his own. The Help Desk Manager might create administrator roles that segment responsibilities by functional areas of the IVE. For example, one administrator role might be responsible for all log monitoring issues. Another might be responsible for all Network Connect problems. This section contains the following information about delegated administration: Licensing: Delegated administration role availability on page 734 Creating and configuring administrator roles on page 734 Specifying management tasks to delegate on page 736 Defining general system administrator role settings on page 743

Licensing: Delegated administration role availability

The delegated administration feature is not available on the SA 700 appliance and is only available on all other Secure Access products with the Advanced license. Note, however, that all Secure Access appliances allow members of the .Administrators role to configure general role settings, access management options, and session options for the .Administrators and .Read-Only Administrators roles.

Delegating system management tasks

Use the Administrators > Admin Roles > Select Role > System tab to delegate various IVE system management tasks to different administrator roles. When delegating privileges, note that: The IVE allows all administrators read-access (at minimum) to the admin console home page (System > Status > Overview), regardless of the privilege level you choose. The IVE does not allow delegated administrators write-access to pages where they can change their own privileges. Only those administrator roles that come with the system (.Administrators and.Read-Only Administrators) may access these pages: Maintenance > Import/Export (Within this page,.Read-Only Administrators can export settings, but cannot import them.) Maintenance > Push Config Maintenance > Archiving > Local Backups Delegation access to the Meeting Schedule page is controlled through the Meetings option on the Administrators > Admin Roles > Select Role > Resource Policies page.

Delegating user and role management

Use the Administrators > Admin Roles > Select Role > Users > Roles sub-tab to specify which user roles the administrator role can manage. When delegating role management privileges, note that: Delegated administrators can only manage user roles. Delegated administrators cannot create new user roles, copy existing roles, or delete existing roles. If you allow the delegated administrator to read or write to any feature within a user role, the IVE also grants the delegated administrator read-access to the Users > User Roles > Select Role > General > Overview page for that role. If you grant a delegated administrator write access to a resource policy through the Administrators > Admin Roles > Select Administrator Role > Resource Policies page, he may create a resource policy that applies to any user role, even if you do not grant him read access to the role. To define role management privileges for an administrative role: 1. In the admin console, choose Administrators > Admin Roles.

2. Select the administrator role that you want to modify. 3. Select the Users > Roles tab. 4. Under Delegate user roles, specify whether the administrator can manage all roles or only selected roles. If you only want to allow the administrator role to manage selected user roles, select those roles in the Available roles list and click Add. 5. Specify which user role pages the delegated administrator can manage by selecting one of the following options: Write AllSpecifies that members of the administrator role can modify all user role pages. Custom SettingsAllows you to pick and choose administrator privileges (Deny, Read, or Write) for the individual user role pages. 6. Under Delegate as read-only roles, select the user roles that you want to allow the administrator to view, but not manage.
NOTE: If you specify both write access and read-only access for a feature, the IVE grants the most permissive access. For example, if you choose Administrators can manage ALL roles under Delegated user roles, and then select the Users role in the Delegate as read-only roles section, the IVE allows the delegated administrator role full management privileges to the Users role.

3. Under Roaming session, specify: EnabledTo enable roaming user sessions for users mapped to this group. A roaming user session works across source IP addresses, which allows mobile administrators (laptop users) with dynamic IP addresses to sign in to the IVE from one location and continue working from another. However, some browsers may have vulnerabilities that can allow malicious code to steal user cookies. A malicious user could then use a stolen IVE session cookie to sign in to the IVE. Limit to subnetTo limit the roaming session to the local subnet specified in the Netmask field. Administrators may sign in from one IP address and continue using their sessions with another IP address as long as the new IP address is within the same subnet.

Administrators who sign in from one IP address may not continue an active IVE session from another IP address; administrator sessions are tied to the initial source IP address. 4. Click Save Changes to apply the settings to the role.

Specifying UI options
Use the Administrators > Admin Roles > Select Role > General > UI Options tab to customize admin console settings for the administrators mapped to this role, including console colors, logos, and hierarchical navigation menus. (For information about customizing the logo and colors in the admin console sign-in page, see Configuring standard sign-in pages on page 188.) Hierarchical navigation menus are dynamic menus that appear when you mouse over one of the menus in the left panel of the admin console. For example, if you enable hierarchical navigation menus and then hover over the Authentication > Signing In menu in the admin console, the Sign-In Policies, and Sign-In Pages submenus appear. You can use these menus to quickly navigate through the system without having to click through the whole menu hierarchy.
NOTE:

For information about the environments in which hierarchical menus are supported, see the Supported Platforms Guide on the Juniper Networks Customer Support Center. If you have upgraded your system from version 4.0, you must clear your browser cache or start a new browser in order to use the hierarchical menus. If you have defined over 10 authentication realms or roles under Administrators or Users, the admin console only displays the 10 most recently accessed roles or realms in the hierarchical navigation menus.

Instant Virtual System (IVS)

The Instant Virtual System (IVS) gives managed service providers (MSPs) the opportunity to offer cost-effective secure remote access, disaster recovery and managed extranet services to small and medium sized companies. To meet this opportunity, MSPs can deliver managed security solutions from equipment that is located on the subscriber companys premises (Customer Premises Edge routerbased) or within the MSP network (Carrier Edge router-based or network-based). Network-based managed security solutions centralize the security gateway equipment in the MSP network. A virtualized IVE allows the MSP to provide managed, network-based SSL VPN services to multiple customers from the same equipment. The basic business model might work something like this: The MSP manages the SSL VPN equipment at the MSP site. Small and medium-sized companies subscribe to monthly services from the MSP. The MSP is responsible for the management of the equipment, but delegates portal administration to an IVS administrator designated by each subscriber company. The virtual system supports and enforces an architectural and administrative separation between subscriber companies, providing a completely secure and individualized view for each subscriber. This system provides a number of benefits to service providers: Expand market shareThe ability to provide secure SSL VPN capabilities to as many as 255 subscriber companies from one IVE offers the MSP economies of scale and the opportunity to expand market share with services targeting small and medium sized businesses. Simplify administrationEach subscriber administrator can manage their companys IVS instance with no visibility into another subscriber companys administrative interface. The MSP root administrator can manage all hosted companies and can easily monitor or configure hosted company systems. Enhance subscriber securityEach subscriber company maintains complete separation from other subscriber companies. As far as the subscriber administrator or subscriber users are concerned, they are operating on a completely independent and protected SSL VPN system.

Optimize traffic managementTraffic from end-users or corporate intranet servers stays within each companys VLAN. Subscriber end-users never see services located on another subscribers intranet. See the following topics for more information: Licensing: IVS availability on page 748 Virtualized IVE architecture on page 750 Clustering a virtualized IVE on page 773 IVS use cases on page 789

Licensing: IVS availability

You must have an IVS license to create IVS systems. (Note that IVS licenses are not available for SA 700 or SA 2000 appliances.) You must have both an IVS license and a Network Connect license to provide centralized DHCP support to your subscribers.

Deploying an IVS
For each subscriber company, the virtualized IVE provides a secure portal for the companys end-users (mobile employees, customers, or partners) to access its internal resources. Authentication servers that reside either on the subscribers premises or in the MSP network, authenticate end-users who sign in to the IVS. Once authenticated, end-users establish secure sessions through the IVS to their respective companys back-end servers.
Figure 57: MSP deployment scenario

The following numbered list items correspond to the labeled objects in Figure 57 1. End-users sign in to different subscriber company intranets on specified IP addresses.

748

Licensing: IVS availability

Chapter 29: Instant Virtual System (IVS)

2. End-users sign-in over an Internet connection using a standard SSL-enabled Web browser. 3. All traffic is directed into the Managed Service Providers (MSP) network. The MSP is the customer who holds the license to the virtualized IVE hardware and software. 4. All traffic is directed to the virtualized IVE. Each message is evaluated based on its sign-in IP address and, by the virtualized IVE, is assigned a VLAN tag containing a VLAN ID that corresponds to a subscriber company. The IVE supports up to 250 IVS systems, each one representing a single subscriber company IVE. The subscriber is any company that subscribes to hosted SSL VPN services from the MSP. 5. The MSP carrier-edge (CE) router or other Layer 2 device acts as a VLAN termination point, and routes traffic over a secure tunnel to a customer premises edge (CPE) router. Based on the VLAN ID, the router directs the traffic to the appropriate subscriber intranet. During this part of the process, the CE router removes the VLAN tag containing the VLAN ID, as once the message is correctly destined for the appropriate intranet, the ID and tag are no longer needed. The term subscriber intranet is interchangeable with the term company intranet. 6. The CE router routes messages over the service provider backbone to the appropriate customers premises edge routers through encrypted tunnels, such as IPSec, GRE, PPP, and MPLS tunnels. Untagged traffic is sent over these tunnels to the customer intranet. 7. The CPE routers within the customer intranet on the customer premises can act as a VLAN termination point and routes traffic from the secure tunnel connected to the CE Router, to the customer intranet. 8. The end-user traffic reaches the correct subscriber companys backend resources. The IVE processes any return messages to the end-users from the subscriber intranets following a similar set of steps. In a typical MSP deployment, firewalls are present in front of the IVE in the MSP's DMZ, behind the IVE, in the MSP network or in the customer's intranet DMZ, or both. Note that a virtualized firewall could potentially exist behind the IVE (a Vsys cluster, for example), in which case it should have the ability to accept VLAN tagged traffic from the IVE and forward it to the proper customer VLAN (and vice versa). Also, most, if not all deployments have Domain Name Server (DNS) or Application servers located either in the MSP network or on the customer intranet. In a virtualized IVE deployment, the front-end is considered the external interface and is the end-user or Internet-facing interface. The back-end is considered the internal interface and is the subscriber company intranet-facing interface. The IVE tags inbound traffic sent by end-users and destined for a server in the subscriber intranet or MSP network, with VLAN tags containing the VLAN ID. Inbound traffic can arrive over the IVE appliances internal interface or external interface.

Deploying an IVS

749

Juniper Networks Secure Access Administration Guide

Outbound traffic, which is traffic transmitted over the IVE backend and destined for servers located on MSP network or subscriber intranet, can be sourced by the IVE itself. For example, traffic destined for authentication, DNS, or application servers, is outbound traffic, as is traffic forwarded by the IVE, such as Network Connect traffic. If the traffic arrives as inbound traffic to an IP address that has been designated for an IVS system that uses a VLAN, that traffic is tagged with the VLAN tag on arrival. When it has been identified and directed to the proper backend destination, the VLAN termination device strips the VLAN tag from the Ethernet frame and forwards the traffic to the backend destination.

Virtualized IVE architecture

The virtualized IVE framework consists of a root system and any subscriber IVS systems the MSP root administrator creates subsequently. Subscriber IVS administrators can only manage resources on their particular IVS system. The root administrator can manage resources on all IVS systems on the appliance. The IVS license converts the IVE system to a root system that is functionally identical to the IVE, with the added capability of provisioning virtual systems. The root system consists of system-level global data and a single default root IVS, which encompasses the access management subsystem.
Figure 58: IVS architecture

The root administrator (root administrator) is the super-administrator of the root system. Often, the root administrator is the same thing as the IVE administrator. The root administrator has administrative control over the root system and all subscriber IVS systems. The root administrator can provision IVS systems on the root system, create IVS administrators, edit IVS configuration. The root administrator can override configuration changes made by any IVS administrator.
NOTE: The instructions for configuring the root and IVS systems are meant to be read by a root administrator. The pronoun you, in these sections, denotes the root administrator. If a task can be performed by someone in a role other than the root administrator, the text makes a distinct reference to the role in the task description.

As shown in Figure 58: 1. The IVE administrator applies an IVS license to an IVE appliance containing a Secure Access license.
750
Deploying an IVS

Chapter 29: Instant Virtual System (IVS)

2. The resulting system contains the root global data and a root IVS, in effect, a virtualized IVE. 3. From the root IVS, the root administrator can create multiple subscriber IVS systems, each IVS completely separate from any other IVS. The root system contains a superset of all capabilities of the system. You, as the root administrator, define all global network settings and root administrator settings on the root system. For each subscriber, you provision one or more IVS systems and manage them from the root system. The subscriber IVS contains a unique instance of the access management framework. When you create an IVS for each subscriber company, you also create an IVS administrator (IVS administrator) account. The IVS administrator has complete administrative control over the IVS. The IVS administrator uses an administrative admin console that contains a subset of the root administrator capabilities.

Signing in to the root system or the IVS

You can configure sign-in URLs using different methods: Sign-in URL prefix per IVS Virtual ports VLAN ports You can use both of these methods on the same IVS.

Signing-in using the sign-in URL prefix

This feature enables end-users to access an IVS by way of a single hostname and and IVS-specific sign-in URL prefix. By using this method, administrators can ensure that users can access multiple IVS systems by way of a single IP address on the IVE. Additionally, the use of path-based URLs results in: Savings in certificate costsYou need only supply one device certificate. Fewer DNS entriesYou need only one DNS entry across all IVS systems hosted on a single IVE. Administrators and end-users can sign into an IVS system using sign-in URLs similar to the following (assuming the managed service provider URL is www.msp.com): Company A sign-in URL: www.msp.com/companyA Company B sign-in URL: www.msp.com/companyB Company A IVS administrator sign-in URL: www.msp.com/companyA/admin

Signing in to the root system or the IVS

751

Juniper Networks Secure Access Administration Guide

Company B IVS administrator sign-in URL: www.msp.com/companyB/admin You can continue to restrict access by implementing additional sign-in URLs that are segregated by certain criteria, as follows:
www.msp.com/companyA/sales www.msp.com/companyA/finance www.msp.com/companyA/hr

If you do not specify a URL prefix, the IVE defaults to sign-in over virtual ports. If you do specify a path-based sign-in URL prefix, the following rules apply: You cannot specify a multilevel path for the URL prefix, by using the / character. End-users can sign in to an IVS on the internal port, external port, VLAN interface, or virtual port that has not already been assigned to an IVS using the selected URL prefix, in other words, where the hostname is the DNS name assigned to one of the interface IP addresses. For example, assume that your IVE ports are assigned to specific DNS names, as follows:
Internal Port = MSP-internal External Port = MSP-external VLAN Port 10 = MSP-vlan10 Virtual Port X = MSP-virtualx

Now, consider that VLAN Port 10 and Virtual Port X are not assigned to an IVS. If you host the Company A IVS, and the Company A sign-in URL prefix is specified as companyA in the IVS profile, then end-users can sign-in to the Company A IVS using any of the following URLs:
MSP-internal/companyA MSP-external/companyA MSP-vlan10/companyA MSP-virtualx/companyA

The path-based URL feature carries a few restrictions, as follows: An end-user or administrator can sign into only one IVS from a given browser instance. If you attempt to sign in to another IVS from a new browser window of the same browser instance, your sign in attempt is rejected. You must create a new browser instance to sign in to multiple IVS systems. You cannot establish multiple concurrent sessions, with all sessions using Host Checker, from the same end-point to different IVE systems. You cannot establish multiple concurrent sessions from the same end-point to multiple IVS systems, regardless of the sign-in method.

752

Signing in to the root system or the IVS

Chapter 29: Instant Virtual System (IVS)

If you configure an IVS with a path-based sign-in URL prefix, you cannot use the persistent session cookie (DSID) and maintain the ability to sign in to multiple IVS systems from the same browser using the URL prefix. The limitation does not apply to users signing in to the IVS with a sign-in IP address, because the system creates a different DSID per target IVS in that case. Pass-through proxy based on port numbers is supported. However, you cannot specify a pass-through proxy policy when using virtual hosts, unless the virtual host DNS entry maps to the IVS sign-in IP address. If the virtual host DNS entry points to the IVE, when the user signs in he will sign-in to the root IVS sign-in page. When using Secure Meeting, if a user is not already signed in to their IVS and you have enabled the option require IVE users, all meeting invitation emails will contain a link to the root IVS sign-in page. If an IVS user bookmarks pages while using web rewriting, signs out, then reopens the browser and selects the bookmark, he will display the root IVS sign-in page.

Signing-in over virtual ports

You may have reasons for configuring virtual ports for sign in. Virtual ports provide significant segregation of traffic. If you choose to use virtual ports, keep in mind that: Must provide multiple certificatesYou need to supply one device certificate per virtual port address. Must configure multiple DNS entriesYou need to supply DNS entries for each IVS system hosted on a single IVE. The sign-in requests target IP address drives the sign-in to the root system or IVS. To sign in to the root system or an IVS, users browse to a hostname-based URL. You map the URL, by way of external DNS, to the IP address or to an IP alias of the IVE systems external interface. For example, consider an MSP with host name msp.com, that provides SSL VPN gateway services to two subscribers: s1 and s2. Root administrator sign-in URL: http://www.msp.com S1 sign-in URL: http://www.s1.com S2 sign-in URL: http://www.s2.com External DNS must map these URLs to unique IP addresses, which must correspond to IP addresses or aliases hosted on the IVE, typically a virtual port defined on either the internal or external port. To summarize signing-in, IVS users can sign in on: A virtual port configured on the external interface of the IVE. A virtual port configured on the internal interface of the IVE (untagged).

Juniper Networks Secure Access Administration Guide

A VLAN interface configured on the internal interface (tagged). Root system users can also sign in directly over the internal or external interface. For more information about signing in, see Configuring sign-in policies on page 183 and Configuring sign-in pages on page 187.

Signing-in over a VLAN interface

In addition to the sign-in capabilities provided over the external interface (or the internal interface, if configured) by the root administrator, end-users can sign in over any VLAN interface the root administrator assigns to their IVS. In other words, the IVS administrator can provide the VLAN port IP address to end-users for sign-in.
NOTE: You cannot map an explicit device certificate to any IP addresses mapped to a VLAN. When signing in over a VLAN interface, the system chooses the device certificate that is already assigned to the IVS. If there is no certificate associated with the IVS, the system assigns the certificate from the top of the IVE device certificate list. This list can be re-ordered when a certificate is added or removed, which can result in an unpredictable certificate during configuration. Once an IVS is in a production state, this should not present a problem, as the IVS VIP is mapped to a specific certificate.

Navigating to the IVS

Only root administrators can navigate to an IVS from the root system. On the virtualized IVE, the admin console navigation for the root system includes an additional drop-down menu listing the configured IVS systems, on all page headers. You can navigate to an IVS and administer it by selecting an IVS from the dropdown menu. IVS administrators must sign-in directly to the IVS through a standard administrative sign-in page. The root administrator creates the initial IVS administrator account. An IVS administrator can create additional IVS administrator accounts, using the standard procedure for creating administrator accounts, as described in Creating and configuring administrator roles on page 734.

Determining the subscriber profile

In order to configure the system to properly steer inbound traffic to the correct subscriber IVS, and outbound traffic to the correct VLAN, the MSP root administrator needs to compile a profile for each subscriber company.

IVS Configuration Worksheet

When creating a new virtual system, you must create a number of other system objects, and specify several pieces of data, including IP addresses, VLAN IDs, virtual ports, and DNS settings. You can use this worksheet to plan and keep track of the system data while creating each IVS. The worksheet presents data in the general order in which you should define the IVS.

Administering the root system

Once you apply the IVS license to the IVE, the new Virtual Systems tab appears in the administrator UI. After you apply the IVS license, you can see an explicit display of the root system in the drop down menu that appears in the admin console header area. Setting up the system requires a series of basic procedures. Once the hardware is connected: 1. Boot the system. 2. Apply the IVS license through the Maintenance > System > Upgrade/Downgrade page of the admin console. 3. Configure the root system from the admin console, as described in Provisioning an IVS on page 757. Regardless of how many subscriber administrators you define on the subscriber IVS systems, you always maintain control over the entire system and have visibility into the settings on all IVS systems.

Configuring the root administrator

Configuring the root administrator is similar to the task of creating a new administrator on a standalone IVE. You can create an administrator account through the Authentication > Auth. Servers > Administrators > Users page of the admin console, or by using the serial console, as described in Connecting to an IVE appliances serial console on page 811. If you upgrade from an earlier IVE version to the 5.1 version software or later, the system considers any administrator in the root system who maps to the .Administrators role to be a root administrator for the IVE. If you re-image the IVE appliance or install a brand new piece of hardware, you create a primary administrator during the initial configuration steps, in the serial console. For more information about setting up the system from the serial console, see Connecting to an IVE appliances serial console on page 811.

Understanding the provisioning process

Chapter 29: Instant Virtual System (IVS)

Provisioning an IVS consists of the following steps, as illustrated in Figure 59: 1. Configure one or more clusters, if needed, through the System > Clustering > Create Cluster page. 2. Configure and enable external port. The external port is in a disabled state, by default. You must enable the port and configure it, to provide sign-in capabilities from outside the network. 3. Create at least one VLAN port for each subscriber company. You must define a unique ID for each VLAN. A subscriber company can have multiple VLANs on the IVE. 4. Configure at least one virtual port on the external port to enable end-users to sign in. You can also configure virtual ports on the internal port, for signing in from behind the firewall, if needed. 5. Load one certificate server per subscriber company. 6. If you intend to use virtual ports, for example, to support IP sourcing, create them at this point in the process. 7. Create an IVS profile for each subscriber company. The IVS profile establishes the connection between the company, the VLAN, and the available virtual ports. 8. Configure static routes to backend servers. If you intend to provide shared access to resources on the MSP network, you add static routes to the VLAN route tables that point to those resources. 9. Configure DNS settings, so that any traffic destined for resources on the MSP network first goes through the MSPs DNS server. 10. Log in as the IVS administrator. 11. Configure users, roles, realms, and resource policies for the IVS. When you create the IVS, the IVS name appears in the drop down menu located in the header of the admin console. You can perform operations on each IVS by selecting the IVS name in the drop down menu and clicking the Go button.

Task Summary: Provisioning an IVS

To provision an IVS system, you must: 1. Create a cluster, if necessary. For instructions, see Clustering on page 705. 2. Configure an external port, which consists of enabling the port and configuring virtual ports to allow end-users to sign-in from outside the MSP network. For instructions, see Configuring sign-in ports on page 760. 3. Configure a VLAN, which includes defining the VLAN port and specifying a VLAN ID. For instructions, see Configuring a Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN) on page 762.

Configure virtual ports on the VLAN for IP sourcing or for clustering. For instructions, see Configuring a virtual port for sign-in on the internal port on page 761. 6. Create the IVS profile, which defines the subscriber companys environment on the virtualized IVE. For instructions, see Creating a new IVS profile on page 766. 7. Configure static routes to support backend servers, Network Connect users, and to provide shared services on the MSP network. For instructions, see Adding static routes to the VLAN route table on page 764. 8. Configure DNS settings, to force traffic to go through the MSP DNS server. If you are running Network Connect, you must configure DNS. For instructions, see Configuring DNS for the IVS on page 774. 9. Configure Network Connect, if necessary. For instructions, see Configuring Network Connect for use on a virtualized IVE on page 777.

Configuring sign-in ports

You must configure virtual ports by which end-users can sign in to the subscriber company intranet. A virtual port activates an IP alias on a physical port and shares all of the network settings of that port. For more information about virtual ports in general, see Configuring virtual ports on page 566. This section contains the following topics: Configuring the external port on page 760 Configuring a virtual port for sign-in on the external port on page 761 Configuring a virtual port for sign-in on the internal port on page 761

Configuring the external port

You need to enable and configure the external port to allow IVS end-users to sign in from outside the network. To enable and configure the external port: 1. Make sure you are in the root context. If the IVS drop down menu in the admin console header bar displays something other than Root, select Root from the menu and click Go. 2. Select System > Network > Port 1 > Settings. 3. Select Enabled.

4. Enter a valid IP address for the external port. 5. Enter a valid netmask for the IP address. 6. Enter the default gateway address. 7. Click Save Changes. The system enables the port.

Configuring a virtual port for sign-in on the external port

You need to configure a virtual port to enable IVS end-users to sign-in from outside the network over the external port. For example, if users sign in over the Internet, they use the virtual port defined on the external port. To configure the virtual port for sign-in: 1. Make sure you are in the root context. If the IVS drop down menu in the admin console header bar displays something other than Root, select Root from the menu and click Go. 2. Select System > Network > Port 1 > Virtual Ports. 3. Click New Port. 4. Enter a unique name for the virtual port. 5. Enter a valid IP address, provisioned by the subscriber companys network administrator. 6. Click Save Changes. The system adds the port, displays the Virtual Ports tab, and restarts the network services. This virtual port is available for use during the process described in Creating a virtual system (IVS profile) on page 766. Define as many virtual ports as needed for sign-in.

Configuring a virtual port for sign-in on the internal port

You need to enable and configure the internal port to allow IVS end-users to sign in from inside the network. To configure the virtual port for sign-in: 1. Make sure you are in the root context. If the IVS drop down menu in the admin console header bar displays something other than Root, select Root from the menu and click Go. 2. Select System > Network > Internal Port > Virtual Ports. 3. Click New Port. 4. Enter a unique name for the virtual port.

5. Enter a valid IP address, provisioned by the subscriber companys network administrator. 6. Click Save Changes. The system adds the port, displays the Virtual Ports tab, and restarts the network services. You can assign this virtual port to an IVS profile as described in Creating a virtual system (IVS profile) on page 766. Define as many virtual ports as needed for sign-in.

Task Summary: Configuring IVS sign-in ports

To configure IVS sign-in ports, you must: 1. Configure the external port. For instructions, see Configuring the external port on page 760. 2. Configure a virtual port for sign-in on the external port. For instructions, see Configuring a virtual port for sign-in on the external port on page 761. 3. Configure a virtual port for sign-in on the internal port (optional). For instructions, see Configuring a virtual port for sign-in on the internal port on page 761.

Configuring a Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN)

By defining at least one Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN) on each subscriber IVS, the MSP can take advantage of VLAN tagging, by which the virtualized IVE tags traffic with 802.1Q VLAN IDs before transmitting the traffic over the backend. The carrier infrastructure uses the VLAN tag to direct the packets to the appropriate subscriber intranet. VLAN tagging provides separation of the traffic the IVE transmits over the backend, destined for subscriber intranets. Traffic coming in over the front-endthat is, inbound trafficdoes not have VLAN tags. The IVS adds the tag to a message upon its arrival over one of the IVE ports. Each VLAN is assigned a VLAN ID which is part of an IEEE 802.1Q-compliant tag that is added to each outgoing Ethernet frame. The VLAN ID uniquely identifies each subscriber and all subscriber traffic. This tagging allows the system to direct all traffic to the appropriate VLAN and to apply respective policies to that traffic. The VLAN termination point is any device on which VLAN-tagged traffic is identified, stripped of the VLAN tag, and forwarded to the appropriate tunnel to the backend. The VLAN termination point can be a CE router, CPE router, L2 switch, firewall, or other device capable of VLAN routing. You must define a VLAN port for each VLAN. The root administrator assigns the specific VLAN ID when defining the VLAN port.

762

Configuring a Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN)

Chapter 29: Instant Virtual System (IVS)

For each VLAN you configure, the virtualized IVE provisions a unique, logical VLAN interface, or port, on the internal interface. There is no relationship between the internal port IP address and any VLAN port IP address. Each VLAN port has its own route table. Each VLAN port definition consists of: Port Name. Must be unique across all VLAN ports that you define on the virtualized IVE or cluster. VLAN ID. An integer in the range from 1 to 4095 that uniquely identifies the subscriber/customer VLAN. IP Address/Netmask. Must be an IP address or netmask from the same network as the VLAN termination point, because the virtualized IVE connects to the VLAN termination point on a Layer 2 network connection. VLAN IP addresses must be unique. You cannot configure a VLAN to have the same network as the internal port. For example, if the internal port is 10.64.4.30/16 and you configure a VLAN as 10.64.3.30/16, you may get unpredictable results and errors. Default gateway. The IP address of the default router, typically the CE or CPE router. The default gateway could act as the VLAN termination point, or could reside behind the VLAN termination point. Other network settings. Inherited from the internal port.
NOTE: If you do not specify a VLAN for the subscriber company, you must configure the IVS to transmit traffic over the internal interface by selecting it as the default VLAN.

Configuring VLANs on the virtualized IVE

The relationship between a VLAN and a given IVS allows the root system to separate and direct traffic to different subscribers, as described in Licensing: IVS availability on page 748. You can define multiple VLANs for a subscriber IVS.

Configuring a VLAN port

Before creating a new virtual system, create a VLAN port to identify the specific subscriber traffic. To create a VLAN port, perform the following steps: 1. Make sure you are in the root context. If the IVS drop down menu in the admin console header bar displays something other than Root, select Root from the menu and click Go. 2. Select System > Network > VLANs to open the VLAN Network Settings tab. 3. Click New Port. 4. Under VLAN settings, enter a name for the VLAN port.

Configuring a Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN)

763

Juniper Networks Secure Access Administration Guide

5. Enter a VLAN ID.

NOTE: The VLAN ID must be between 1 and 4095 and must be unique on the system. The root system uses untagged traffic and cannot be changed.

6. Enter the IP address for the VLAN. 7. Enter a netmask for the VLAN. 8. Enter a default gateway for the VLAN. 9. Click Save Changes.

Assigning a VLAN to the root IVS

In order to assign a VLAN to a role, you must assign the VLAN to the root IVS, first. If you have not assigned a VLAN to the root IVS, the VLAN is not available in the VLAN drop down menu in the Users > User Roles > Select Role > VLAN/Source IP page. To assign a VLAN to the root IVS 1. Select System > Virtual Systems > Root. 2. Under Properties, select the VLAN from the Available VLANs list. 3. Click Add -> to move the VLAN name to the Selected VLANs list. 4. Click Save Changes.

Adding static routes to the VLAN route table

When you create a new VLAN port, the system creates two static routes, by default: The default route for the VLAN, pointing to the default gateway. The interface route to the directly connected network. In addition, you can static routes to shared servers in the MSP network. To add static routes to a VLAN route table: 1. Make sure you are in the root context. If the IVS drop down menu in the admin console header bar displays something other than Root, select Root from the menu and click Go. 2. Select System > Network > VLANs. 3. Either click New Port or select an existing VLAN for which to add a static route. 4. At the bottom of the VLAN port page, click the Static Routes link. 5. From the drop-down menu, select the VLAN for which to create static routes, if not already selected.

764

Configuring a Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN)

Chapter 29: Instant Virtual System (IVS)

6. Click New Route. 7. On the New Route page, enter the destination network/IP address. 8. Enter the destination netmask. 9. Enter the destination gateway. 10. Select the interface from the Interface drop down menu. 11. Enter the metric. The metric is a number between 0 and 15, and usually signifies the number of hops that traffic can make between hosts. You can set the metric of each route to specify precedence. The lower the number, the higher the precedence. Therefore, the device chooses a route with a metric of 1 over a route with a metric of 2. A router that uses metrics compares a dynamic route metric with the static route metric and chooses the route with the lowest metric. 12. If you want to add static routes to shared services, for example, you should perform one of the following steps: Click Add to [VLAN] route table, where [VLAN] is the name of an available VLAN, to add the route to a selected VLAN. This action adds the static route to a particular subscriber companys VLAN route table and excludes access from all other VLANs, including from users of the MSP network. Click Add to all VLAN route tables to add the route to all VLANs defined on the system. For example, if the root administrator wants to share some service among all end-users of all subscriber companys, select this option.
NOTE: You can also use static routes if you want to configure shared services on the MSP network. To accomplish this:

1. Add a static route to the shared resource in either your own VLAN route table, if the root system has a VLAN, or in the main IVE route table, if the root system uses the internal interface. 2. Click Add to all VLAN route tables, which populates all VLAN route tables with the static route. When you add the static route to all VLAN route tables, all IVS profiles can access the shared services.

Deleting a VLAN
You cannot delete a VLAN that is associated with an IVS. First, you must either delete the IVS or remove the relationship between the IVS and the VLAN port. To delete a VLAN: 1. Select System > Network > VLANs. 2. Select the checkbox next to the name of the VLAN to delete. 3. Click Delete.

Loading the certificates server

On the root system, you can load certificates using the procedure described in Importing certificates into the IVE on page 601. You must associate the virtual ports that you have defined as sign-in ports for IVS end-users with the device certificate. You can specify virtual ports on the Certificate Details page, as described in Associating a certificate with a virtual port on page 606. On an IVS, you can only import Trusted Client CAs and Trusted Server CAs, as described in Using trusted client CAs on page 607 and in Using trusted server CAs on page 621.
NOTE: You cannot share certificates across IVS systems. You must have a unique IP and certificate for each IVS.

You can only configure the root IVS to re-sign IVE applets/controls in the admin console. The admin consoles for subscriber IVS systems do not show the re-signing option. You should take note of the following information: All root and subscriber end-users see the same applets/controls: either all of the default Juniper controls, or all of the controls signed by the root IVS. If you do not want subscriber IVS systems to see controls signed by the certificate from the root IVS, then you should not re-sign the controls. If you resign the controls, the subscriber IVS systems have access to them.

Creating a virtual system (IVS profile)

After creating a VLAN port, proceed with the task of creating the new virtual system (IVS profile) for the subscriber company. This section contains the following topics: Creating a new IVS profile on page 766 To define the IVS profile: on page 767 To define sign-in properties, VLAN, and port settings: on page 767

Creating a new IVS profile

The IVS profile defines the subscriber IVS and any elements required to reach the subscribers intranet, such as DNS settings and authentication servers. You must specify a default VLAN for each IVS. The significance of the default VLAN for a given IVS is that when an end-user attempts to sign into a particular realm within that IVS, the IVS sends traffic to the authentication server for that realm over the default VLAN interface.

766

Loading the certificates server

Chapter 29: Instant Virtual System (IVS)

To define the IVS profile: 1. Make sure you are in the root context. If the IVS drop down menu in the admin console header bar displays something other than Root, select Root from the menu and click Go. 2. Select System > Virtual Systems. 3. Click New Virtual System to display the IVS - Instant Virtual System page. 4. Enter the name of the subscriber company. 5. Enter a description (optional). 6. Select Enabled, if it is not already selected.
NOTE: If you ever need to prohibit a subscriber and the subscribers end-users from accessing the IVS due to billing or other problems, disable their account here. By disabling the account, you can resolve any customer issues and then enable access without having to delete the subscriber account and lose all the configuration data.

7. Under Administrator, create a username for the IVS administrator. 8. Create a password for the IVS administrator.

NOTE: The IVS administrator username and password are available in the IVS profile the first time you create the IVS. Subsequently, if you edit the IVS, these fields are not available, for security purposes. However, if you need to access the IVS administrator username and password, you can do so through the IVS configuration page, by going to the Administrators authentication server.

9. Specify the sign-in properties, VLAN, and port settings for the IVS. To define sign-in properties, VLAN, and port settings: 1. Enter the maximum number of concurrent end-users allowed on the IVS.

NOTE: The number of concurrent end-users must be fewer than the number of assigned users on the entire system.

2. Select a VLAN from the Available list box and click Add -> to move the name of the VLAN to the Selected VLANs list box. You can add multiple VLANs to an IVS. You can select the internal port as a VLAN even if you have added other VLANs to the Selected VLANs list. Unlike other VLAN interfaces, you can add the internal port to multiple IVS profiles. If you have not defined a VLAN, you must select the internal interface instead.

Creating a virtual system (IVS profile)

767

Juniper Networks Secure Access Administration Guide

3. To specify the default VLAN for the IVS, select the VLAN name in the Selected VLANs list box, then click Set Default VLAN. The IVS marks the VLAN name with an asterisk (*). The virtualized IVE uses the default VLAN to provide authentication server access. The IVE consults the default VLANs route table to look up the route to authentication servers for a given IVS.

NOTE: You must specify the internal port as the default VLAN for the root IVS.

4. If you want to define a sign-in URL prefix that your end-users can sign in over rather than over a virtual port, add the prefix to the Sign-in URL Prefix field. The prefix is the equivalent of the first node in the URL, for example, companyA in the following URL:
http://www.mycompany.com/companyA

For more information about using the prefix, see Signing-in using the sign-in URL prefix on page 751. 5. If you have defined virtual ports for either the internal interface or the external interface, you can select them in the Available list boxes and click Add -> to move them to the Selected Virtual Ports list boxes for the respective interfaces. For more information about virtual ports, see Configuring virtual ports on page 566. 6. Enter the address or range of IP addresses that are available for Network Connect clients (end-users). If you intend to configure a DNS server on the IVS, for a server located on the subscriber intranet, you must add the available Network Connect IP address pool values here. For more information, refer to Specifying IP filters on page 547. 7. Click Save Changes. For information on how to sign in to the IVS as an IVS administrator, see Signing in directly to the IVS as an IVS administrator on page 768.

Signing in directly to the IVS as an IVS administrator

Signing in directly to the IVS as an IVS administrator is different than picking the IVS from the virtual system drop down menu in the Web-based administrator UI console. If you, as the root administrator, want to sign in the same way that all IVS administrators must sign in to the IVS, perform the following steps: 1. Sign-out of the root IVE. 2. Enter the sign-in URL in the address bar of a valid browser, using either the hostname or the IP address. For example:
https://www.company.com/admin

or

768

Signing in directly to the IVS as an IVS administrator

Chapter 29: Instant Virtual System (IVS)

https://10.9.0.1/admin

This example assumes that you assigned the IP address 10.9.0.1 as a virtual port for sign-in. The format depends on whether or not you defined a DNS entry for the sign-in host name. When logging in, the administrator can enter the host name or the IP address defined as the virtual port for sign-in. If the administrator signs in from within the network, he should use the IP address you configured for signing in over the internal port. If the administrator signs in from outside the network, he should use the IP address you configured for signing in over the external port. 3. Press Enter. 4. Enter the IVS administrator username. 5. Enter the IVS password. 6. Click the Sign in button. Assuming the credentials are valid, the System Status page for the IVS appears. When either the root or an IVS administrator exits the IVS, the appliance immediately severs the connection.

Configuring role-based source IP aliasing

If the subscriber company employs policy evaluation devices/firewalls in their network for the purpose of separating traffic based on the source IP address as it enters the intranet from the IVS, you, the root administrator, must configure the IVS to generate traffic with different source IP addresses. The role-based source IP aliasing feature, also known as VIP sourcing, provides the capability to map enduser roles to VLANs and specific source IP addresses (the IP address of any one of the virtual ports hosted on the VLAN interface). All traffic generated by the IVS over the back-end on behalf of the end-user carries the source IP address configured for the end-user's role. For example, assume that the traffic to a particular subscriber intranet needs to be differentiated based on whether it originates from customers, partners, or employees. There are two ways to accomplish this: Provision three different VLANs for the subscriber, create three roles corresponding to customers, partners and employees, and map each role to a different VLAN. Provision a single VLAN for the subscriber, configure three virtual ports with unique IP addresses, and map customers, partners and employee roles to the same VLAN but to different source IP addresses. This section contains the following topics: Associating roles with VLANs and the source IP address on page 770 Configuring virtual ports for a VLAN on page 770

Configuring role-based source IP aliasing

769

Juniper Networks Secure Access Administration Guide

Associating roles with VLANs and the source IP address

You can use role-based source IP aliasing whether or not you have defined a VLAN. In the case of a non-VLAN configuration, you define a virtual port, then assign that port to a roles source IP. For more information, see Configuring virtual ports on page 566. When using a VLAN, you can set the source IP address of a role to either the VLAN port IP address or to an IP alias configured on a VLAN port.

Configuring virtual ports for a VLAN

To configure virtual ports for a VLAN, perform the following steps: 1. Make sure you are in the root context. If the IVS drop down menu in the admin console header bar displays something other than Root, select Root from the menu and click Go. 2. Select System > Network > VLANs. 3. Click on the VLAN name of the VLAN to which to add virtual ports. 4. Select the Virtual Ports tab. 5. Click New Port. 6. Enter a name for the new virtual port. 7. Enter a valid IP address. If defining the port to provide subnetting and traffic separation capabilities to the subscriber, you need to get the IP address from the subscriber. You define the virtual port with the IP address that the subscribers policy evaluation devices validate in order to separate traffic to different locations on the subscriber intranet. You can specify any the virtual port IP as any IP from a VLAN defined on the IVS. 8. Click Save Changes. The virtualized IVE restarts certain services on the appliance. The IVS administrator can then create users and assign them to roles which are associated with the source IP addresses you have defined.

Associating roles with source IP addresses in an IVS

Assuming that the root administrator has already configured a VLAN, virtual ports for the VLAN, and the IVS, the IVS administrator can associate roles with the virtual ports as follows: 1. Log in to the IVS as the IVS administrator. 2. Choose Users > User Roles. 3. Click New Role.

770

Configuring role-based source IP aliasing

Chapter 29: Instant Virtual System (IVS)

4. Name the role. 5. Select the Source IP checkbox. 6. Select any other options and the features you want a user with this role to be able to access (Optional). 7. Click Save Changes. The page refreshes and a set of tabs now appears. 8. Select the VLAN/Source IP tab. 9. Select the VLAN, if the root administrator has defined more than one VLAN for this IVS. 10. Select the source IP from the Select Source IP drop down menu. 11. Click Save Changes. 12. Repeat the process for each new role. When creating new users, the IVS administrator can then assign each user to one of the roles, which determines what source IP address each user can access.

The virtualized IVE uses a policy routing framework that depends on rules, route tables, and route entries that are configured on the system. When you create a VLAN, the system provisions a new route table for that VLAN. VLAN route tables exist in addition to the main route table for the IVE. Only the root administrator can manage VLAN route tables. IVS administrators cannot view or access the route tables. Each VLAN route table contains the following route entries: Automatically-created route entries Manually-created route entries

Automatically-created route entries

Default route 0.0.0.0. Points to the default gateway you have configured for the VLAN interface. The IVE creates this route internally when it creates the VLAN interface. End-users can reach most of their companys resources through the default route. Interface route. Network route corresponding to the VLAN interface IP address.

Configuring policy routing rules on the IVS

Juniper Networks Secure Access Administration Guide

Manually-created route entries

Static routes to servers within the same VLAN that are accessible through routers other than the default gateway. Static routes to server IP addresses on other VLAN ports within the same subscriber company intranet, or VLAN ports within the MSP network. For example, you might define in a VLAN route table static routes to DNS or authentication servers in either a subscriber company intranet or in the MSP network. Static routes to server IP addresses accessible through the internal interface. These are usually required if your MSP network is connected to the internal interface. This section contains the following topics: Routing Rules on page 772 Overlapping IP address spaces on page 773 Define Resource policies on page 773

Routing Rules
A number of rules have been built into the system to enable the correct routing of traffic to the appropriate subscriber intranets. For example, rules exist to map: The Network Connect IP pool address for each Network Connect end-user session to a corresponding VLAN route table. To construct this rule, the system determines an end-users role when the user establishes an Network Connect session. The system can then search the role for the associated VLAN. A configured source IP address to a corresponding VLAN route table. The system creates this rule whenever you configure a virtual port or source IP alias on a VLAN port.

NOTE:

There are no explicit rules governing the flow of traffic between the subscriber or MSP networks and end-users. Traffic arriving at the IVE over the backend has a destination IP address set to the configured IP address of one of the network interfaces, either the external interface, VLAN interface, or a Network Connect tunnel interface. An IVE application automatically handles the processing. You cannot access the rules table. This section includes a description of the rules table and how rules are constructed to help you understand how the system operates.

Chapter 29: Instant Virtual System (IVS)

For details about rules regarding authentication server access, see Rules governing access to authentication servers on page 782. For an example of how policy routing might be applied, see Policy routing rules resolution use case for IVS on page 789.

Overlapping IP address spaces

The virtualized IVE supports overlapping IP addresses in subscriber intranets, and overlapping source IP addresses for Network Connect. At this time, the virtualized IVE does not support multiple VLAN interfaces with identical IP addresses. The virtualized IVE supports overlapping IP addresses among customer networks that are tied to VLANs in different IVS systems, because IVS systems do not share route tables. Assume that Company 1 and Company 2 both have internal networks that use IP addresses 10.64.0.0/16. Because these addresses are internal to each companys network, and because each company has a completely separate IVS, identified by a unique VLAN ID, the MSP can support them, even though, technically, they overlap.

Define Resource policies

Both you, as the root administrator, and the IVS administrator can create policies for end-users. For more information on resource policies, refer to Resource policy components on page 82. You can also customize which policies are visible to IVS administrators. However, you must customize each IVS independently. Also, if you are in the root IVS context and you customize the admin console, you are only customizing the console as it appears to you or other administrators who are permitted to view the root IVS console. To customize any IVS admin console, you must be in the context of that IVS. For more information, see Customizable admin console elements overview on page 819

Clustering a virtualized IVE

You can cluster the entire IVE, including all IVS systems. You cannot cluster an individual IVS system. The clustering rules and conditions in a standard IVE network also apply to clusters in an IVS network, with the following exceptions: Virtual port replicationAny virtual port you define on the Active node is replicated to the Passive node. The virtual ports name and address is the same on both Active and Passive nodes. Virtual port source IPGiven an end-user who maps to a particular role, and a backend connection from any node on behalf of that end-user, the source IP of the backend connection is the same as the source IP of the virtual port configured for the end-users role. VLAN port replicationWhen you create or delete a VLAN port on an Active cluster node, the IVE system automatically adds or deletes the VLAN port on the Passive node.
Clustering a virtualized IVE

773

Juniper Networks Secure Access Administration Guide

VLAN definitionFor any given VLAN port, the slot, logical name, VLAN ID, netmask, and default gateway are the same across all cluster nodes. VLAN port IP addressThe IP address for each VLAN port is node-specific. Corresponding VLAN ports on an Active/Passive cluster are configured on the same IP network. You can only configure an IP address/netmask combination for a VLAN port on the standby node if the resulting network corresponds to the VLAN port in the Active cluster node. VLAN IP addresses must be unique. You cannot configure a VLAN to have the same network as the internal port. For example, if the internal port is 10.64.4.30/16 and you configure a VLAN as 10.64.3.30/16, unpredictable behavior and errors can occur. Policy routingYou can configure route settings per node and per interface, either physical or VLAN, however, those route settings are synchronized across the cluster when you edit them. IVS profilesIVS profiles are replicated across cluster nodes, and are not partitioned across cluster nodes. Network ConnectIf you deploy the virtualized IVE as an Active/Passive cluster, the Network Connect connection profile that you or an IVS administrator configures within each IVS is propagated to the standby node. Network Connect in Active/Active clusterIn an Active/Active cluster, the Network Connect IP address pool for each IVS is split across individual cluster nodes by way of role-level settings. Role-based source IP aliasingThe association of a role to a virtual port name is cluster-wide, but the association of a virtual port name to an IP address is node specific. As such, different cluster nodes can issue backend IP traffic with different source IP addresses even if the respective end-users map to the same role. Failover behaviorIn the event of a failover, the VLAN interface does not disappear. Both Active and Passive nodes should contain the VLAN interface.

NOTE: When using Network Connect, you should always define virtual ports for each VLAN port you create. If you have defined a Network Connect IP address pool, and you are running in Active/Passive cluster mode, you must configure your routers to direct traffic to one of the VLANs virtual ports as the next-hop gateway. Otherwise, Network Connect sessions may not recover gracefully from a failover.

Accessing a DNS server on the MSP network

In the root system, you can configure access so that any traffic destined for resources on the MSP network goes through the DNS server on the MSP network. To access a DNS server on the MSP network: 1. In the admin console, choose System > Network > Overview. 2. Under DNS name resolution, provide the primary DNS address, secondary DNS address, and the DNS domains. When you add the DNS addresses, each one is added to the resolv.conf file on the IVE, in a nameserver directive. 3. If you are using WINS, provide the WINS server address. 4. Click Save Changes. 5. Follow the instructions in Configuring the Network Connect connection profile on page 777. You can provide DNS services to non-Network Connect users by specifying a global DNS/WINS server in the MSP network. The global DNS/WINS server hosts DNS for all participating subscriber companies. As an alternative, you can configure a HOSTS file on the IVE with DNS entries for all participating subscriber companies. When you configure a global DNS/WINS server in this way, it provides DNS services to any requesting entity, including from Network Connect users of participating subscriber companies that do not have DNS servers in their intranets.

Accessing a DNS server on a subscriber company intranet

In each IVS system, you can configure access so that any traffic destined for resources on the IVS subscribers network goes through the DNS server on their internal company network.

Accessing a DNS server on a subscriber intranet

To access a DNS server on a subscriber intranet: 1. If you did not add a valid Network Connect IP address pool to the IVS profile when you created the virtual system, modify the IVS profile to include the Network Connect IP addresses. For more information, see Provisioning an IVS on page 757. 2. In the admin console, select the name of the subscriber IVS from the drop down menu in the console header bar. 3. Click Go. 4. On the subscriber IVS admin console page, choose System > Network > Overview.

Configuring Network Connect for use on a virtualized IVE

You, as the root administrator, must work with the IVS administrator to configure Network Connect so that end-users can send traffic to the subscriber intranet and receive traffic back from the subscriber intranet.
NOTE: If you want to use Network Connect on a subscriber companys IVS (rather

than just by way of Network Connect running on the MSP network) you must configure a DNS server on the IVS.

Configuring the Network Connect connection profile

Configure the Network Connect connection profile using the IP addresses from the range specified in the Network Connect IP pool in the IVS profile. 1. Select Users > Resource Policies > Network Connect > Network Connect Connection Profiles. 2. Click New Profile. 3. Enter the IP addresses in the IP Address Pool text box, one address per line. The Help text in the admin console shows examples of valid ranges. 4. Change the transport, encryption, and compression settings from the defaults, if necessary. 5. Add the appropriate role from the Available roles listbox to the Selected roles listbox. 6. Click Save changes.

Configuring Network Connect on backend routers

Both you, as the root administrator, and the IVS administrator must configure static routes on the backend to ensure that each Network Connect end-user can be reached from the subscriber intranet, and if needed, the MSP network. If you want Network Connect users to be able to access the MSP networks DNS server, configure a static route in the route table of each application server or DNS server to the end-users Network Connect IP pool address. Set the next-hop gateway to the IP address of the root systems internal interface. Figure 60 illustrates this operation.

Figure 60: Setting a static route in MSP network DNS or application servers

1. End-users sign in over an Internet connection, using an IP address from a Network Connect IP address pool, to reach the DNS server on the MSP network. 2. The root administrator specifies a static route in the DNS server route table to point to an IP address from the Network Connect IP address pool. The subscriber company must define the Network Connect IP address pool in its intranet. 3. The DNS server resides on the MSP network and serves all end-users of all subscriber companies. 4. The DNS servers route table contains a static route to the Network Connect IP address pool and the next-hop gateway IP address. 5. The IVE appliances internal interface is the DNS servers next-hop gateway address. 6. The subscribers CPE routers perform the proper traffic routing to the subscriber company intranets. 7. Each subscriber company that intends its users to pass through the MSP DNS or application servers must define a corresponding Network Connect IP address pool. As shown in Figure 61, the IVS administrator can configure the subscriber CPE router with a static route to the end-users IP address, with the next-hop gateway set to the IP address of the corresponding CE router on the MSP network.
NOTE: Alternately, the subscriber can configure a default route on the CPE router to point to the MSP CE router as the next-hop gateway. In this case, you do not need to add individual static routes to the Network Connect IP pool addresses.

Figure 61: Setting a static route to Network Connect end-user IP address in CPE router

1. End-users sign in over an Internet connection using an IP address agreed upon by the MSP and the subscriber company. 2. Specify a static route in the subscriber companys CPE routers route table to point to the end-user sign-in IP addresses. 3. You must also specify the next-hop gateway in the CPE routers route table. 4. You use the MSP CE routers IP address as the next-hop IP in the CPE routers route table. 5. The CPE router resides on the subscriber companys intranet. Using this arrangement, each subscriber company must specify the static route to their own end-user sign-in address and must specify the MSPs CE router IP as the next-hop gateway in the CPE route table. 6. Once the MSP VLAN termination point (in this example, a CE router) determines the intended subscriber intranet, the termination point directs the traffic to the appropriate CPE router, which sends the traffic to the proper resource in the subscriber intranet. As shown in Figure 62, you can configure a static route in the CE router to point to the end-users IP address, with the next-hop gateway set to the IP address of the subscribers VLAN port.
NOTE:

Alternately, you can configure a default route on the CE router with the nexthope gateway set to the IP address of the subscriber VLAN port. In this case, you do not need to add individual static routes to the Network Connect IP pool addresses. You can also allocate an entire network to an Network Connect IP address pool.

Specify a static route in the MSPs VLAN termination point (in this example, a CE router) route table to point to the end-user sign-in IP addresses for each subscriber company. 3. You must also specify the next-hop gateway in the CE routers route table. 4. In the CE route table, specify all end-user sign-in IP addresses as static routes, and all corresponding VLAN port IP addresses as defined in the virtualized IVE. 5. Define at least one unique VLAN ID for each subscriber company. Use the IP addresses of each VLAN as the next-hop gateway addresses in the CE routers route table. 6. The subscribers CPE routers perform the proper traffic routing to the subscriber company intranets. 7. Each subscriber company must provide sign-in pages for the IP addresses defined as static routes for end-user sign-in. Once the MSP VLAN termination point (in this example, a CE router) determines the intended subscriber intranet, the termination point directs the traffic to the appropriate CPE router, which sends the traffic to the proper resource in the subscriber intranet.

Configuring a centralized DHCP server

You can configure one or more centralized DHCP servers if you want to provide Network Connect IVS users with dynamic IP addressing, without requiring each IVS subscriber to support an IVS-specific DHCP server. The DHCP server maintains separate IP address pools for each IVS, using the IVS name property, defined in the IVS profile, to uniquely identify the IVS-specific pools.

780

Configuring a centralized DHCP server

Chapter 29: Instant Virtual System (IVS)

Upon receiving a request from an IVS, the DHCP server selects an IP address based on the IVS name and the IP address of the node from which the request originated, which is delivered in the giaddr field of the request. Using this combination of data points, the DHCP server picks an available IP address from the appropriate pool and returns the address in the DHCP offer. To configure your system to support a centralized DHCP server 1. Configure the DHCP server entry in the Network Connect Connection Profile, for each Network Connect role that will acquire IP addresses by way of DHCP.

NOTE: The following notes apply to the use of a centralized DHCP server in an IVS

configuration: You can configure the same DHCP server IP address for Network Connect roles in multiple IVS systems. Within a Network Connect role, if you configure both an NC IP pool and a DHCP server for the same role, the DHCP server takes precedence. DHCP IP address assignment can co-exist with IP address assignment by way of NC IP pools within an IVS. You can employ multiple DHCP servers in the service provider network, with different groups of IVS systems pointing to different central servers. 2. Configure the DHCP server itself, by configuring classes and subclasses on the DHCP server to distinguish between requests from different IVS systems and to provide IP addresses from IVS-specific IP address pools. To configure the DHCP server entry in the Network Connect Connection Profile 1. In the Root context, choose Users > Resource Policies > Network Connect. 2. Click the NC Connection Profiles tab. 3. Click New Profile. 4. Enter a name for the profile. 5. Under IP address assignment, select the DHCP Server radio button. 6. Enter the DHCP server name or IP address. 7. Under Roles, select the applicable roles in the Available roles list box and click Add to move them to the Selected roles list box. 8. Click Save Changes. 9. Repeat the procedure for each IVS that should use the DHCP server., making sure to enter the same DHCP server name or IP address that you entered for the Root.

Configuring authentication servers

You can configure authentication servers, such as RADIUS and Active Directory, on both the MSP network and the subscriber company intranets. The authentication server authenticates the incoming traffic differently depending on whether the traffic is authenticated when it comes into the MSP network or when it reaches the customer intranet.
NOTE: If you connect an authentication server to the internal port, you must set the default VLAN to the internal port when configuring the IVS.

The following authentication servers are supported on a subscriber IVS: Local Authentication LDAP Server RADIUS Server Active Directory/Windows NT Anonymous Server Certificate Server The following authentication servers are supported on the root system: Local Authentication LDAP Server NIS Server ACE Server RADIUS Server Active Directory/Windows NT Anonymous Server SiteMinder Server Certificate Server

Rules governing access to authentication servers

The following rules apply to the access of authentication servers on the MSP network or on the subscriber company network. Each IVS profile must include settings for:

782

Configuring authentication servers

Chapter 29: Instant Virtual System (IVS)

The default VLAN, which can also be the internal port, if provisioned as the default VLAN. The default VLAN interface IP is the source IP address used to contact the authentication server. Static routes in the VLAN that point to the appropriate authentication servers, which can reside in the MSP network (with an assigned VLAN ID or untagged on the internal port), or on the subscriber company network.

Configuring authentication on a RADIUS server

You must configure the RADIUS server in each IVS. If you have a RADIUS server on the MSP network as well, all of the IVS RADIUS servers can point to the same MSP RADIUS IP address. To configure the RADIUS server: 1. Select the context: If you are in an IVS context, and you want to define a RADIUS server on the MSP network, select Root from the context drop down menu in the admin console header bar and click Go. If you are in the root context, and you want to define a RADIUS server on a subscriber intranet, select the IVS name from the context drop down menu in the admin console header bar and click Go. 2. Refer to the instructions in Configuring a RADIUS server instance on page 120.

NOTE: In the current release, ACE authentication is not available for individual IVS systems. If you want to use RSA 2 factor token-based authentication, you should use RADIUS from the IVS to access RSA ACE.

Configuring authentication on Active Directory

You must configure the AD/NT server in each IVS. If you have an AD/NT server on the MSP network as well, all of the IVS AD/NT servers can point to the same MSP AD/NT IP address. To configure the Active Directory server: 1. Select the context: If you are in an IVS context, and you want to define an AD/NT server on the MSP network, select Root from the context drop down menu in the admin console header bar and click Go. If you are in the root context, and you want to define an AD/NT server on a subscriber intranet, select the IVS name from the context drop down menu in the admin console header bar and click Go.

You can delegate read/write access or readonly access to all IVS systems, or to selected IVS systems. To delegate administrative access to IVS systems 1. Select Administrators > Admin Roles > SelectRole where SelectRole indicates one of the listed administrator roles. You can also create a new administrator role, if you prefer. 2. Click the IVS tab. 3. If you want to give the administrator read/write access to the IVS, select one of the following: If you want to give the administrator read/write access to all IVS systems, select the Administrator can manage ALL IVSs checkbox. If you want to limit the administrators access to specific IVS systems, select the Administrator can manage SELECTED IVSs checkbox, then select the IVS systems from the Available IVSs list and click Add to move them to the Selected IVSs list. 4. If you want to give the administrator read only access to the IVS, select one of the following: If you want to give the administrator read only access to all IVS systems, select the Administrator can view (but not modify) ALL IVSs checkbox. If you want to limit the administrators access to specific IVS systems, select the Administrator can view (but not modify) SELECTED IVSs checkbox, then select the IVS systems from the Available IVSs list and click Add to move them to the Selected IVSs list. 5. Click Save Changes. By adding these access rights to a given role, you can exercise different levels of control over different MSP administrators.

Accessing standalone installers

The IVS administrator might need to access the Host Checker, WSAM, or other standalone installers. To give IVS administrators access to the installers, which are located on the Maintenance > System > Installers page, you can delegate the access to them by way of the Administrators > Admin Roles > SelectRole > IVS page. Once you have delegated access, the IVS administrator can see the Installers page from within the context of the IVS admin console.

Performing export and import of IVS configuration files

Use the IVE binary import/export feature to export and import root system and user settings, and also to export and import subscriber IVS settings and profiles. The two types of operations are mutually exclusive: if exporting IVS settings, the exported configuration file does not contain root system settings; if exporting root system settings, the exported configuration file does not contain subscriber IVS settings. You perform export and import operations from the context of the root system. On the Maintenance > Import/Export > Import/Export Configuration page and on the Maintenance > Import/Export > Import/Export Users page, you can find the standard controls for exporting root system and user configuration. A subscriber IVS administrator cannot export or import data from or to a subscriber IVS. Only you, as the root administrator, can perform these tasks.
NOTE:

You can only import/export all IVS systems in a single operation. You cannot import/export an individual IVS systems configuration. You can also use the IVE binary archiving feature to perform local backups of your IVS system. For more information, see Archiving IVE binary configuration files on page 628.

Troubleshooting VLANs
In addition to the standard troubleshooting features provided by the IVE, the virtualized IVE provides several enhancements, specifically for managing IVS systems. You can use the following troubleshooting features on either the root system or each IVS, separately: Policy simulation Policy tracing Session recording Functionally, these utilities are the same as the standard IVE capabilities. The key difference is a matter of context. If you initiate one of these three utilities from the root system context, you get results for users, policies, and sessions on the root system or from the MSP network. If you initiate the utilities from a subscriber IVS context, you get results for users, policies, and sessions on the IVS or the subscriber intranet. For more information about user sessions, policy tracing, and session recording, see Troubleshooting on page 689. The TCPDump, Ping, Traceroute, NSLookup, and ARP commands are enhanced for use in virtualized IVE systems. You can initiate these commands on the internal and external ports, as well as on selected VLAN ports, which you might do if you want to troubleshoot traffic on a subscriber VLAN. The basic functionality of the commands is unchanged, except for the ability to specify a VLAN port

Company 1 has defined two VLANs, one for Sales and one for Human Resources. Each company has an associated role defined for each VLAN. The root administrator creates each VLAN, providing a unique VLAN ID for each, and indicating a given port. In this case, the root administrator has created all four VLANs on the internal interface.

NOTE:

The labels for ports have been changed. The port name eth0 (internal port) is now called int0 and eth1 (external port) is now ext0. You can only see the route table device names (such as int0.1) from the serial console. You can view the route table by selecting menu item 1, then menu item 2 from the serial console.

NOTE: IVS VLANs are not explicitly tied to subscriber intranets by configuration on the IVE. The association of a VLAN to a subscriber intranet is accomplished by mapping VLAN interfaces to private tunnels in the subscriber intranet within the CE->CPE router framework. For more information, refer to the discussion on static routes in Adding static routes to the VLAN route table on page 764.

In Figure 63, Network Connect end-users get their source IP addresses from configured Network Connect IP address pools that the root administrator has defined for the IVS. Also, in the figure, non-Network Connect users can still access specified realms based on their roles and on role-based source IP (VIP sourcing) addresses that you define as virtual ports on the VLAN. The following list describes each item that is marked with a numbered label in Figure 63. 1. Network Connect end-users get IP addresses from Network Connect IP pools. Traffic from these users is routed through the appropriate subscriber VLAN, which you define on the internal port. 2. Non-Network Connect end-users get IP addresses from virtual IP (VIP) pools. Traffic from these users is sourced through the appropriate subscriber VLAN. 3. In Figure 63, this numbered box represents a subscriber IVS, which contains two VLANs that are defined on ports int0.1 and int0.2.

4. In Figure 63, this numbered box represents a second subscriber IVS, which contains two VLANs that are defined on ports int0.3 and int0.4. 5. The subscriber defines a role for Sales on VLAN1. End-users signing in to IP 13.10.0.1 over the Internet are routed to the Company 1 intranet, to the appropriate backend resources located in the Sales realm at 10.10.0.0/16. End-users signing in on IP 13.11.0.1 are VIP sourced to the Company 1 intranet, also to the appropriate backend resources located in the Sales realm at 10.10.0.0/16. 6. The subscriber defines a role for HR on VLAN2. End-users signing in on IP 13.12.0.1 over the Internet are routed to the Company 1 intranet, to the appropriate backend resources located in the HR realm at 10.11.0.0/16. Endusers signing in on IP 13.13.0.1 are VIP sourced to the Company 1 intranet, also to the appropriate backend resources located in the HR realm at 10.11.0.0/16. 7. The subscriber defines a role for Employee on VLAN3. End-users signing in on IP 14.10.0.1 over the Internet are routed to the Company 2 intranet, to the appropriate backend resources located in the Employee realm at 10.10.0.0/16. End-users signing in on IP 14.11.0.1 are VIP sourced to the Company 2 intranet, also to the appropriate backend resources located in the Employee realm at 10.10.0.0/16. 8. The subscriber defines a role for Partner on VLAN4. End-users signing in on IP 14.12.0.1 over the Internet are routed to the Company 2 intranet, to the appropriate backend resources located in the Partner realm at 10.11.0.0/16. End-users signing in on IP 14.13.0.1 are VIP sourced to the Company 2 intranet, also to the appropriate backend resources located in the Partner realm at 10.11.0.0/16. 9. The Company 1 intranet supports two realms: Sales at 10.10.0.0/16 and HR at 10.11.0.0/16. These realms correspond to the roles defined on VLAN1 and VLAN2/ 10. The Company 2 intranet supports two realms: Employee at 10.10.0.0/16 and Partner at 10.11.0.0/16.

NOTE: The realms are valid even though they contain overlapping IP addresses. Because the roles are defined for different VLANs, the VLAN IDs provide the separation that allows them to overlap without danger of mixed traffic.

The route tables for each VLAN appear as follows:

Now consider the situation in which the MSP decides to provide shared services to end-users of Company 1 and Company 2. Assume the MSP network is also on a VLAN (VLAN5). If you want to provide services on 10.64.0.0/16 to both Company 1 and Company 2, and services on 10.65.0.0/16 to Company 2 only, you can configure either Network Connect pools or virtual ports for those addresses. Figure 64 illustrates this situation.

Configuring multiple IVS systems to allow access to shared server

There may be cases in which you want to provide end-users of multiple subscriber companies to access a shared server on the MSP network. For more information about accessing shared servers, see Configuring Network Connect for use on a virtualized IVE on page 777 and Policy routing rules resolution use case for IVS on page 789. The following steps describe a simple use case and solutions.

Solution #1
To configure access to a shared server, assuming two IVS systems for two subscribers: 1. Add the internal port to the IVS1 list of selected VLANs. 2. Add the internal port to the IVS2 list of selected VLANs. For instructions on adding ports to the IVS systems selected VLAN field, see Provisioning an IVS on page 757. 3. Edit the internal ports route table and configure a static route pointing to the shared server, with the internal interface as the output port.

Solution #2
To configure access to a shared server, assuming two IVS systems for two subscribers: 1. Add VLAN1 to the IVS1 selected VLAN list and set it as the default VLAN. 2. Add VLAN2 to the IVS2 selected VLAN list and set it as the default VLAN. For instructions on adding VLANs to the IVS systems selected VLAN field, see Provisioning an IVS on page 757. 3. Edit the route tables for both VLAN1 and VLAN2 and configure a static route in each that points to the shared server, with the internal interface as the output port.

IVE and IDP Interoperability

Securing intranet work application and resource traffic is vital to protecting your network from hostile outside intrusion. You can add levels of application security to your remote access network by integrating a Juniper Networks Secure Access appliance with a Juniper Networks Intrusion Detection and Prevention (IDP) Sensor. The IDP device may provide the following types of protection in this solution (some forms of protection depend upon the specific configuration): Protects against attacks from user to application and from application to user (from a server-side endpoint) Detects and blocks most network worms based on software vulnerabilities Detects and blocks non-file-based Trojan Horses. Detects and blocks effects of Spyware. Adware, and Key Loggers Detects and blocks many types of malware Detects and blocks zero day attacks through the use of anomaly detection You do not need a special license from Juniper Networks to enable interaction between the IVE and the IDP, you just need to posses and have enabled a valid Advanced IVE license.
NOTE: An IDP Sensor can send logs to one IVE appliance only. However, an IVE

appliance can receive logs from more than one IDP Sensor. Using the IVEs Admin console, you can configure and manage interaction attributes between the IVE and an IDP including the following: Global configuration parameters like the IDP hostname or IP address, the TCP port over which the sensor monitors the intranet for possible intrusion, and the one-time password the IVE and IDP use to authenticate with one another Dynamically changing the IDP configuration from the IVE and alerting the IDP of changes in the IP address pool available to remote users Various levels of attack severity warnings

801

Juniper Networks Secure Access Administration Guide

The IDP sits behind the IVE on your internal network and monitors traffic flowing from the IVE into the LAN. Any abnormal events detected by the IDP Sensor are reported to the IVE, which you configure to take appropriate action based on the severity level of the reported events. The IDP Sensor performs reporting functions in addition to any normal logging the IDP has been configured to undertake.
NOTE: You can use an IDP Sensor on an IVE cluster, if the cluster is configured with a virtual IP (VIP) address.

Licensing: IDP availability

The IDP integration feature is not available on the SA 700 and is only available on all other Secure Access products that have an Advanced IVE license.

Deployment scenarios
The two most likely deployment scenarios are as follows: Customer use of IVE for extended enterprise access and IDP for security of all perimeter traffic including but not limited to traffic from the IVE. Figure 65 illustrates this scenario, in which the IVE is deployed in the DMZ or on the LAN and the IDP is deployed in-line behind the firewall and in front of the LAN.
Figure 65: IVE and IDP topology scenario 1
Mobile Users Internet IVE Attack message IDP LAN

In the second deployment scenario, IDP is only used to protect traffic that comes through the IVE but not in-line with other perimeter traffic. Figure 66 illustrates this deployment scenario.

Configuring the IVE to Interoperate with an IDP

The IDP Sensor can be a powerful tool to counter users who perform attacks. The integration with the IVE allows you to configure automatic responses as well as to manually monitor and manage users. To configure the IVE to interoperate with an associated IDP Sensor, you must first ensure the IDP has been configured according to the instructions described in the IVE Signaling Setup appendix of the Intrusion Detection and Prevention Concepts & Examples Guide. Once the IDP Sensor has been set up, you can specify the events you want the IDP to watch for and the actions that the IVE takes once a particular event has been noted and reported. There are two locations on the IVE where you can specify actions to be taken in response to users that perform attacks: Sensor Event policies pageDefine the policy on this page to generate an automatic response to users who perform attacks. Users pageManually identify and quarantine or disable users on the System > Status > Active Users page, which lists users who have performed attacks. For more details, see Identifying and managing quarantined users manually on page 807.

Configuring IDP connections

The Sensors tabs allow you to specify the system settings the IVE uses to establish a connection to a Juniper Networks Intrusion Detection and Prevention (IDP) device. Use the System > Configuration > Sensors > Sensors tab to perform a number of tasks related to configuring and managing interaction between the IVE and an IDP Sensor. This section contains the following topics: Creating a new IDP Sensor entry on page 804 Enabling or disabling the connection to an existing IDP Sensor on page 804

Creating a new IDP Sensor entry

You can enable and disable IDP connection entries on the IVE. To enable or disable existing IDP Sensor entries on the IVE: 1. In the admin console, choose System > Configuration > Sensors. 2. Click New Sensor. The admin console displays the New Sensor page. 3. Under Sensor Properties, specify the following information: NameA name the IVE uses to identify the new connection entry HostnameThe hostname or IP address of the IDP Sensor to which the IVE connects in order to receive application and resource attack alert messages PortThe TCP port on the IDP Sensor that the IVE listens to when receiving application and resource attack alert messages One-time PasswordThe encrypted password the IVE uses when conducting the initial Transport Layer Security (TLS) handshake with the IDP Sensor. You must enter the encrypted IVE OTP password as displayed on the IDP ACM configuration summary screen.
NOTE: The hostname, TCP port, and one-time password must already be configured on the IDP Sensor before this configuration can be successful.

4. Under Monitoring Options, specify IP addresses to monitor and the minimum alert severity level the IDP Sensor will record and submit to the IVE: a. In the Addresses to monitor field, specify individual IP addresses and/or IP address ranges the IDP Sensor monitors for potentially hostile attacks, one entry per line.

b. Select one of the options available in the Severity filter drop down list. The severity level range is gradient along a scale from 1 to 5, where 1 is informational and 5 is critical. 5. Click Save Changes.

Enabling or disabling the connection to an existing IDP Sensor

You can enable and disable IDP connection entries on the IVE. To enable or disable existing IDP Sensor entries on the IVE: 1. In the admin console, choose System > Configuration > Sensors.

2. Select the checkbox next to one or more IDP Sensor entries you want to enable or disable. 3. Click Enable or Disable to enable or disable the specified IDP Sensor entries, respectively.

Deleting an IDP Sensor entry

You can delete existing IDP Sensor entries that define a connection between the IVE and an IDP Sensor. To delete one or more existing IDP Sensor entries from the IVE: 1. In the admin console, choose System > Configuration > Sensors. 2. Select the checkbox next to the IDP Sensor entry or entries you want to delete. 3. Click Delete and then confirm that you want to delete the sensor entry or entries.

Reconnecting to an IDP and refreshing IDP connection status

When the connection to an IDP Sensor is down, you can use the admin console on the IVE to try and re-establish the connection. You can also use the admin console to refresh the status of existing connections between the IVE and the IDP Sensor. If you need to re-establish communication with an IDP Sensor, you must generate a new One-time Password, as described in Creating a new IDP Sensor entry on page 804. To reconnect to an associated IDP Sensor: 1. In the admin console, choose System > Configuration > Sensors. 2. Select the checkbox next to the IDP Sensor to which you want to reconnect. 3. Click Reconnect. The admin console displays a message informing you that the IVE is currently attempting to re-establish connection to the specified IDP Sensor. This page automatically refreshes each second during the reconnection process. Otherwise, the connection status page automatically refreshes once every thirty seconds. To refresh and display the connection status for the specified IDP Sensor: 1. In the admin console, choose System > Configuration > Sensors. 2. Select the checkbox next to one or more IDP Sensor entries for which you want to display current connection status. 3. Click Refresh.

In the ...then perform this action section, specify one of the following actions: Ignore (just log the event)Specifies that the IVE should log the event, but take no further action against the user profile to which this rule applies. This option is best used to deal with very minor informational attack alert messages that come from the IDP Sensor. Terminate User SessionSpecifies that the IVE should immediately terminate the user session and require them to sign in to the IVE again.

806

Configuring the IVE to Interoperate with an IDP

Chapter 30: IVE and IDP Interoperability

Disable user accountSpecifies that the IVE should disable the user profile associated with this attack alert message, thus rendering the client unable to sign in to the IVE until the administrator re-enables the user account. (This option is only applicable for users who have a local IVE user account.) Replace users role with this oneSpecifies that the role applied to this users profile should change to the role you select from the associated drop-down list. This new role remains assigned to the user profile until the session terminates. This feature allows you to relegate a user to a specific controlled role of your choice, based on specific IDP events. For example, if the user performs attacks, you might assign the user to a restrictive role that limits the users access and activities. Choose to make this role assignment: PermanentUser remains in the quarantined state across subsequent logins until the administrator releases the user from the quarantined state. For this session onlyDefault. User can login to another session. 5. In the Roles section, specify: Policy applies to ALL rolesTo apply this policy to all users. Policy applies to SELECTED rolesTo apply this policy only to users who are mapped to roles in the Selected roles list. Make sure to add roles to this list from the Available roles list. Policy applies to all roles OTHER THAN those selected belowTo apply this policy to all users except for those who map to the roles in the Selected roles list. Make sure to add roles to this list from the Available roles list. 6. Click Save Changes.

Identifying and managing quarantined users manually

When the IVE quarantines a user based on an attack, you can display and manage the states by locating the user link in the System > Status > Active Users page. You can identify quarantined users based on several elements: A small warning icon displayed in front of the user name. The hyperlinked user name. An enabled Quarantined radio button on the specific users page. If the user is not quarantined, the radio button is disabled. To manage quarantined users: 1. Identify quarantined users at System > Status > Active Users.

Rolling back to a previous system state through the admin console

If you upgrade your server package and decide you would like to revert to the previous state of your machine, we recommend that you perform the following steps from within the admin console: 1. Locate previously exported system and user configuration files that store the desired state data. (This step presumes that you backed up your system and user data by exporting files through the admin consoles Maintenance > Import/Export menu.) 2. Download the desired IVE OS service package from the Juniper Networks Support Customer Support Center. 3. Import the chosen IVE OS service package through the admin consoles Maintenance > System > Upgrade/Downgrade menu. 4. Import the system and user configuration files you locate in the beginning of this section.

Rolling back to a previous system state through the serial console

If you cannot access the admin console, connect to the serial console to perform a system rollback to the previous system state.
NOTE: If you have not yet performed an IVE OS service package upgrade, there is no previous state to roll back to and this option is not available. If you have performed an IVE OS service package upgrade, any system and user configuration data created after the upgrade is lost unless you export the most current configuration files before rolling back the system and then import them afterwards.

NOTE: If you are running an Secure Access FIPS machine and want to roll back to a previous security world, use instructions in Recovering an archived security world on page 835.

To roll back to the previous IVE OS service package: 1. Connect to your IVE appliances serial console. For instructions, see Connecting to an IVE appliances serial console on page 811. 2. In a browser window, sign in to the admin console. 3. Choose Maintenance > System > Platform. 4. Click Reboot Now and then go back to the console utility window. The window displays a message that the system is restarting. 5. After several moments, you are prompted to hit the Tab key for options.

NOTE: You might receive errors from the IVE during the initial setup or on a factory reset. Before the IVE starts services it monitors the network port for a maximum of 120 seconds. The IVE checks the link status and performs an ARPing on the default gateway. If there is a problem, after 5 seconds, the IVE displays a message on the serial console that starts with NIC:...... If the link recovers within 120 seconds, the startup process continues. If the link does not recover, the following message appears: Internal NIC: ................[Down code=0x1]

Two codes can appear:

0x1 means that the interface link status reported by the NIC remains off (for

example, a disconnected cable or a cable in the wrong port).

0x2 means that the gateway is unreachable. The IVE boots but is not

reachable from IP addresses bound to that network port.

Secure Access 6000

The Juniper Networks Secure Access 6000 is a next-generation IVE appliance featuring a number of notable hardware design upgrades relative to the other members of the Secure Access family.

Standard hardware
The SA 6000 chassis features the following hardware components: Console portYou can use the console port to initially set up the SA 6000 before you fully integrate it as the secure gateway to your internal network. You can also use the console port to perform certain configuration and clustering tasks after the IVE begins operating as the secure gateway. Port 0 (internal) and Port 1 (external) Ethernet portsThe SA 6000s primary connections to the corporate network and the outside world are the internal and external Ethernet ports, respectively. You can configure the internal and external interfaces via the System > Network page of the admin console. Management portThe SA 6000s management port is now available and: Enables seamless integration into a dedicated Management Network. Provides continuously available management access to the IVE. Enables you to perform management activities without impacting user traffic. Allows you to separate administrative access from user access between the IVE and Enterprise devices on the internal network. You can configure the Management port information and advanced settings via the admin console, just as you would configure the internal port. For more information, see Configuring the Management Port on page 564. Dual SFP ports (reserved for future use)The SA 6000 includes two Small Form-factor Pluggable (SFP) Gigabit Ethernet ports (designated ports 2 and 3 on the front of the SA 6000) that will offer you the ability to further increase your connectivity to internal network components in a future release.

Status LEDsThe front of the SA 6000 chassis features the following LEDs: PWR (green)Indicates that the appliance has power and is turned on HD (amber)Indicates that the hard disk is in use (writing or reading data) TEMP (red)A blinking LED indicates that one of the fans has failed or is not seated properly in its port, or that a fan has failed and needs to be replaced. A solid LED indicates a high internal temperature reading that may result in system failure if not addressed. PS FAIL (red)Indicates that one of the power supplies is faulty, has been unplugged, or has experienced an outright failure Port 0 1000 and Port 1 1000 (green)Indicates that the link speed of the INT 0 (internal) or INT 1 (external) Ethernet interfaces is a Gigabit Ethernet connection Port 0 100 and Port 1 100 (green)Indicates that the link speed of the INT 0 (internal) or INT 1 (external) Ethernet interfaces is a 100BaseT Ethernet connection
NOTE: If both the Port 0 1000 and Port 0 100 (internal) or Port 1 1000 and Port 1 100 (external) LEDs are active, the link speed for that interface is 10BaseT.

Internal and external Ethernet LINK TX/RX (green)Indicates that the internal or external Ethernet interface is currently transmitting or receiving data SFP port 2 and 3 LINK (green) (reserved for future use)Indicates that SFP port 2 or 3 is enabled. SFP port 2 and 3 TX/RX (green) (reserved for future use)Indicates that SFP port 2 or 3 is sending or receiving traffic.

Secure Access 6000 field-replaceable units

The SA 6000 chassis features three types of field-replaceable units (FRUs) that you can add or replace. The FRUs are hot-swappable, meaning you do not have to first shut down the SA 6000 before adding or replacing any of the FRUs.

824

Secure Access 6000 field-replaceable units

Chapter 33: Secure Access 6000

Hard disksThe SA 6000 ships with one hard disk, however, you can add an optional second hard disk to the SA 6000 chassis to offer component redundancy and help minimize IVE down time. When a second (redundant) hard disk is installed, it maintains an exact copy of the software image and configuration information on the working hard disk. Therefore, if the working hard disk fails, the redundant hard disk immediately assumes responsibility for all IVE operations. This function is referred to as the Redundant Array of Independent Disks (RAID) mirroring process.
NOTE: The SA 6000 hard disk modules are hot-swappable. You must make sure that the IVE finishes booting and is operating correctly before removing, replacing, or upgrading a hard disk module. Once a new hard disk module is inserted, you must wait until the RAID mirroring process is completely finished which takes approximately 40 minutesbefore rebooting or turning off the IVE.

Power suppliesThe SA 6000 ships with one AC power supply installed in the back of the chassis. You can add an optional second power supply to support redundancy and load-sharing features. In addition, if you need to replace one of the power supplies, you can swap the faulty power supply for a replacement while the optional second power supply assumes responsibility for the entire power load, thus avoiding a situation where you have to power off the IVE before replacing the removable unit. Cooling fansThe SA 6000 ships with two cooling fans installed in the back of the chassis. If you need to replace one of the cooling fans, you can swap the faulty fan for a replacement during operation in a matter of moments. You can purchase additional cooling fans from your vendor when you order your SA 6000, or you can purchase them in the future to replace faulty or failed cooling fans, as necessary, in the future. Juniper strongly recommends that you run the SA 6000 with two cooling fans. For information about installing or replacing any of the hardware mentioned here, see the Secure Access 6000 Field Replaceable Units Removal and Installation Guide on the Juniper Networks Customer Support Center.

Secure Access FIPS

FIPS, or Federal Information Processing Standards, are National Institute of Standards and Technology regulations for handling keys and encrypting data. Juniper Networks Secure Access FIPS is a standard SA3000, SA4000, SA5000, or SA6000 NetScreen Instant Virtual Extranet equipped with a FIPS-certified cryptographic module. The tamper-proof hardware security module installed on an Secure Access FIPS system is certified to meet the FIPS 140-2 level 3 security benchmark. The module handles private cryptographic key management and SSL handshakes, simultaneously, ensuring FIPS compliance and off-loading CPUintensive public key infrastructure (PKI) tasks from the IVE to a dedicated module. The configuration process for Secure Access FIPS administrators is almost exactly the same as for the non-FIPS Secure Access administrators, requiring only minor configuration changes during the initialization, clustering, and certificate generation processes. In the few cases where administration tasks are different, this guide includes the appropriate instructions for both Secure Access and Secure Access FIPS administrators. For end-users, Secure Access FIPS is exactly the same as a standard Secure Access system.

Juniper Networks Secure Access Administration Guide

Secure Access FIPS execution

When you first install an Secure Access FIPS system, the IVE serial console walks you through the process of creating a security world through the serial console. A security world is a key management system used by Secure Access FIPS consisting of the following elements: Cryptographic moduleThe cryptographic module (also sometimes called the hardware security module, or HSM) included with Secure Access FIPS includes hardware and firmware installed directly on the appliance. A security world may contain a single cryptographic module (standard environment) or multiple modules (clustered environment). However, a single Secure Access FIPS appliance is always equipped with a single cryptographic module. Security world keyA security world key is a unique Triple DES encrypted key that protects all other application keys within a security world. As required by the Federal Information Processing Standards, you cannot import this key into a security worldyou must directly create it from a cryptographic module. In a clustered environment, all of the modules within the security world share the same security world key. (For more information, see Deploying a cluster in an Secure Access FIPS environment on page 830.) Smart cardsA smart card is a removable key device that looks like a credit card. A smart card authenticates users, allowing them access to various data and processes controlled by the cryptographic hardware module. During the initialization process, you must insert one of your smart cards into the reader (built-in or external, depending upon which device model you own). As part of the initialization process, the smart card is transformed into an administrator card that allows the card holder access to the security world. (For more information, see Replacing administrator cards on page 834.) Encrypted dataEncrypted host data in a Secure Access FIPS environment includes keys and other data required to share information in a secure manner. These elements interlock to create a comprehensive security world. When you start the appliance, it confirms that the security world is valid and that the cryptographic module is in operational mode before starting normal operations. You can set the cryptographic module into operational mode using a hardware switch on the outside of the module. The switchs settings include: IInitialization mode. Use this setting when initializing the cryptographic module with a new security world or when adding a module to an existing security world in an IVE cluster. Note that once you set the switch to I and begin initialization, you must complete the process. Otherwise, your security world is only partially initialized, making it unusable. OOperational mode. Use this setting to place the cryptographic module into operational mode after initialization. Note that you must set the switch to O before the module powers up in order to alert the unit that you want to begin day-to-day processing. Otherwise, the module prompts you through the serial console to join the existing security world or initialize a new one.

MMaintenance mode. In future releases, this setting will be used to upgrade the firmware on the cryptographic module. (Not yet supported.) For more information about initializing the module and creating a new security world, see the Juniper Networks Netscreen Secure Access FIPS Getting Started Guide included with the product packaging.

Creating administrator cards

When you receive your Secure Access FIPS product, you receive 6 smart cards as part of the package. A smart card is a removable key device that you must use in order to gain access to some of the critical data and processes controlled by the cryptographic module. Secure Access FIPS first requires you to use one of your smart cards while initializing the cryptographic module through the serial console. During this process, Secure Access FIPS creates a security world and transforms the smart card into an administrator card that gives the holder access only to that security world. Once the module is initialized, you do not need the administrator card for normal IVE operations. However, you are required to use the administrator card whenever you want to: Add another Secure Access FIPS machine to a cluster. For more information, see Deploying a cluster in an Secure Access FIPS environment on page 830. Reinitialize a module with a new or different security world. For more information, see Recovering an archived security world on page 835. Replace administrator cards. For more information, see Replacing administrator cards on page 834. As a rule-of-thumb, any Secure Access FIPS operation that you must execute through the IVE serial console requires an administrator card.
NOTE: Whenever you change your security world, you must determine how to handle your existing administrator cards. Your choices include:

Reset your existing administrator cards to the new security world. Use administrator cards that are pre-initialized to the new security world and leave your existing administrator cards unchanged. Note that if you choose this option, however, you cannot use the old, unchanged cards to access the new security world.

Creating administrator cards

829

Juniper Networks Secure Access Administration Guide

Administrator card precautions

Since administrator cards are so critical to Secure Access FIPS operations and the security of the keys within your security world, we strongly recommend that you take the following precautions: Create multiple administrator cardsYou cannot replace an administrator card unless you have another valid card and the pass phrase for that card; the cryptographic module does not store administrator card recovery data. Therefore, we strongly recommend that you create at least one administrator card for standard administrative operations and another for backup purposes. Otherwise, you run the risk of losing your only administrator card and subsequently losing access to your security world and all the data it stores. You can only create a set of administrator cards, all at once. You cannot add additional cards to an existing set. Store a backup administrator card in a secure locationAlways keep your backup administrator card(s) in a secure location separate from the card you use for standard administrative operations to ensure that you do not lose all of your administrator cards to the same event (such as a fire or theft). Overwrite all remaining administrator cards if one gets lostIf you lose or damage an administrator card, immediately create a new security world and overwrite all remaining cards from the old security world. Otherwise, an attacker with an old administrator card may be able to access old host data stored on a backup tape or another host. With the old host data and an old card, the attacker may then be able to re-create your keys. Protect the administrator cards pass phraseFor maximum security, you should never write down your pass phrase, tell it to untrusted users, or use a pass phrase that is easy to guess. Protecting your pass phrase adds an extra level of security to your operations. Only use your administrator card with known, trusted sourcesAlways obtain smart cards from a trusted source, never insert a smart card into an untrusted smart card reader, and never insert untrusted smart cards into your smart reader.

Deploying a cluster in an Secure Access FIPS environment

In addition to sharing state, user profile, user session, and monitoring state data, the members of an Secure Access FIPS cluster also share security world data. All cluster members share the same private key and are accessible using the same administrator cards. Since changing a security world requires physical access to a cryptographic module, however, Secure Access FIPS cluster members cannot share all of their data using the standard IVE synchronization process. Instead, to create an Secure Access FIPS cluster, you must: 1. Create a cluster of Secure Access FIPS machines through the admin consoleAs with a standard IVE cluster, each cluster node in an Secure Access FIPS cluster is initialized using system state data from the specified cluster member, overwriting all existing data on the node machine.

830

Deploying a cluster in an Secure Access FIPS environment

Chapter 34: Secure Access FIPS

2. Manually update the security world on each of the machinesAfter creating a cluster, you must initialize each cluster node with the specified members security world using an administrator card that is pre-initialized to the security world and the serial console. Prior to joining a cluster, each node is in its own security world. As a consequence, after a node joins the cluster, the administrator card from the joining node will be invalid. Only the administrator card set from the cluster will be valid. Similarly, if you want to modify an existing security world on a cluster, you must individually update each cluster members cryptographic module using an administrator card and the IVE serial console. For instructions, see IVE serial console on page 811. The basic process for creating a cluster follows these high-level steps: 1. Initialize one IVE from the serial console, creating administrator cards. 2. Initialize the second IVE from the serial console, creating one administrator card. 3. Create the cluster from the admin console. 4. Add the node to the cluster. 5. Reboot the node from the serial console. 6. When prompted, supply the cluster details, including IP address, netmask, and domain. 7. When prompted, insert an administrator card from the clusters set of cards. The nodes administrator card will become invalid, as the node joins the security world of the cluster. To initialize a FIPS cluster members security world via the serial console: 1. If you use an SA 3000 or SA 5000 FIPS appliance, plug the smart card reader cable into the cryptographic modules reader port on the SA 3000/SA 5000 IVEs front panel. Otherwise, if you use an SA 4000 or SA 6000 FIPS appliance, skip this step. 2. Insert an administrator card that is pre-initialized with the active cluster members security world into the smart card slot with the contacts facing up.

NOTE: If you have already performed the procedures required to configure the FIPS appliance, as described in the Quick Start Guide, you might be able to skip this step.

3. Switch the cryptographic modules mode switch to I (initialization mode) if it is not already in that position. 4. Connect to the machines serial console. For more information, see IVE serial console on page 811.

5. Cycle the power to reboot the machine and watch its serial console. After the system software starts, you will see a message that the machine is about to boot as a stand-alone IVE and to hit Tab for clustering options. Press the Tab key as soon as you see this option.
NOTE: The interval to press the Tab key is five seconds. If the machine begins to boot in stand-alone mode, wait for it to finish and then reboot again.

6. Enter the number 2 to join the existing cluster or 1 to continue as a standalone IVE. 7. Enter the initialization information as prompted, including: Cluster name Cluster password IP address of a node in the cluster IP address of the node you are adding Netmask Gateway IP address

NOTE: After you initialize members of an Secure Access FIPS cluster with the same security world, you may disable and re-enable the cluster through the admin console. You are no longer required to use the serial console once the cluster members are all members of the same security world.

8. Select 1 to continue joining the cluster. 9. After the FIPS appliance initializes the card, switch the cryptographic modules mode switch to O (operational mode).

Creating a new security world

You cannot begin using an Secure Access FIPS machine until you create a security world on it. However, in some case you may need to overwrite that security world with a new one. For example, if you lose an administrator card, we recommend that you create a brand new security world to prevent an untrusted source from finding the card and accessing your security world. You may also need to create a new security world if you cannot remember your original administrator cards pass phrases. In order to create a new security world, you must have physical access to: The cryptographic module(s) that belong to the security world

NOTE: Your old administrator cards will not work with the new security world until you reformat them with the new security worlds data. Also note that once you set the switch to I and begin initialization, you must complete the process. Otherwise, your security world is only partially initialized, making it unusable.

For information about overwriting a security world with an existing security world, see Recovering an archived security world on page 835.
NOTE: WARNINGYou must obtain one or more new device certificates from

your CA whenever you create a new security world.

Creating a security world on a stand-alone IVE

To create a new security world on a stand-alone IVE: 1. If you use an SA 3000 or SA 5000 FIPS appliance, plug the smart card reader cable into the cryptographic modules reader port on the SA 3000/SA 5000 IVEs front panel. Otherwise, if you use an SA 4000 or SA 6000 FIPS appliance, skip this step. 2. Insert an un-formatted smart card or an administrator card containing data that you can safely overwrite into the card slot with the card contacts facing up. 3. Set the mode switch on the cryptographic module to I (initialization mode). 4. Access the IVEs serial console and reboot the IVE. For instructions, see Connecting to an IVE appliances serial console on page 811. After the IVE reboots, you are prompted on the serial console with the following question:
Do you want to use the currently installed security world (y/n)?

5. Perform one of the following: If you want to create a new security world, then: i. ii. Enter n and press Enter. Enter the number of administrator cards you want to create and press Enter.

iii. Enter y and press Enter to confirm the number of cards you want to create.

If you want to use the currently installed security world, then: i. ii. Enter y and press Enter. Proceed to the next numbered step in this procedure.

6. Reset the cryptographic modules mode switch to O (operational mode). 7. Add the common name and company name when prompted. The system uses the existing self-signed certificate temporarily. 8. Create a new device certificate that shares the new security worlds private key. For more information, see Creating a certificate signing request (CSR) for a new certificate on page 604.

NOTE: WARNINGYou must obtain one or more new server certificates from your CA whenever you create a new security world.

Creating a security world in a clustered environment

To create a new security world in a clustered environment: 1. Sign in to the admin console of a cluster node that you want to reformat with a new security world. To access a nodes admin console, enter its internal IP address followed by /admin in a browser. For example:
https://x.x.x.x/admin

2. On the System > Clustering > Status tab, select the checkbox next to the nodes name in the Cluster Members column and then click Disable. 3. Initialize the cluster member with a security world. If this is the first node in the cluster, create a new security world, as explained in Creating a new security world on page 832. 4. Return to the nodes System > Clustering > Status tab, select the checkbox next to the nodes name in the Cluster Members column, and then click Enable. 5. Perform these steps for each node in the cluster.

Replacing administrator cards

You can replace an administrator card by selecting the Replace Administrator Card Set option from the serial console. You cannot increase the number of administrator cards in an existing set, but you can create a new security world to replace all of the cards in a set and initialize a larger set of cards than you originally had. If you need to replace administrator cards for a security world, you must have physical access to: A cryptographic module that belongs to the security world

NOTE: If you need to replace administrator cards, you must replace the same number of cards that you first initialized for the security world. You cannot replace a subset of the cards.

NOTE: If you require additional smart cards, please contact your IVE Reseller.

To replace all administrator cards or to create a larger number of cards for a security world: 1. Follow the steps to create a new security world, as described in Creating a security world on a stand-alone IVE on page 833. 2. Choose Replace Administrator Card Set from the list of configuration tasks. 3. Enter the pass phrase for the security world. 4. When prompted, insert an un-formatted smart card or an administrator card whose data you can safely overwrite into the smart card reader with the contacts facing up. 5. Enter the additional initialization information for which you are prompted. 6. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for as many cards as you want to create. 7. Store at least one of the administrator cards in a secure location.

Recovering an archived security world

In rare cases, you may need to recover your system using an archived security world. The archived security world may be an older version of the security world that already exists on your system or the same version. In order to recover your system, you must have access to the system configuration file (by default, system.cfg) that holds the archived security world and its corresponding certificate. In addition, if you are overwriting your security world with a different security world, you must have physical access to: All of the cryptographic modules that belong to the security world A smart card reader (if you use an older model IVE that does not contain a built-in card reader)

Importing a security world into a stand-alone IVE

To import an existing security world into a stand-alone IVE: 1. Import the system configuration file that contains the archived security world and its corresponding certificate into the IVE (as explained in Importing a system configuration file on page 633), and then initialize the security world if necessary. If the configuration file contains an archive of: The same security world that was already present on the machine, no further configuration is required. A different security world than was already present on the machine, you must initialize the new security world.
NOTE: If you import a configuration file containing a different security world, note that your existing administrator cards will not work with the imported security world until you reformat them with the new security worlds data. Also note that once you set the switch to I and begin initialization, you must complete the process. Otherwise, your security world is only partially initialized, making it unusable.

1. If you use an SA 3000 or SA 5000 FIPS appliance, plug the smart card reader cable into the cryptographic modules reader port on the SA 3000/SA 5000 IVEs front panel. Otherwise, if you use an SA 4000 or SA 6000 FIPS appliance, skip this step. 2. Insert an administrator card that is pre-initialized with the imported security world into the smart card reader slot with the contacts facing up. 3. Set the mode switch on the cryptographic module to I (initialization mode). 4. Access the IVEs serial console and reboot the IVE. For more information, see Connecting to an IVE appliances serial console on page 811. 5.

Compression
IVE improves performance by compressing common types of Web and file data such as HTML files, Word documents, and images. This section contains the following information about compression: Licensing: Compression availability on page 839 Compression execution on page 839 Supported data types on page 840 Enabling compression at the system level on page 841 Creating compression resource profiles and policies on page 842

Licensing: Compression availability

Gzip compression is available on all Secure Access appliances.

Compression execution
The IVE determines whether it should compress the data accessed by users by using the following process: 1. The IVE verifies that the accessed data is a compressible type. The IVE supports compressing many common data types such as such as HTML files, and Word documents. For a complete list, see Supported data types on page 840. 2. If the user is accessing Web data, the IVE verifies that the users browser supports compression of the selected data type. The IVE determines compression supportability based on the browsers useragent and the accept-encoding header. The IVE supports the compression of all of the standard Web data types if it determines that the user-agent is compatible with Mozilla 5, Internet Explorer 5, or Internet Explorer 6. The IVE only supports compressing HTML data, however, if it determines that the browsers user-agent is only compatible with Mozilla 4.

Licensing: Compression availability

839

Juniper Networks Secure Access Administration Guide

3. The IVE verifies that compression is enabled at the system level. You can enable system-level compression through the Maintenance > System > Options page of the admin console, as explained in Enabling compression at the system level on page 841. 4. The IVE verifies that compression resource policies or autopolicies are enabled for the selected data type. The IVE comes with resource policies that compress data. You may enable these policies or create your own through the following pages of the admin console: Users > Resource Policies > Web > Compression. Users > Resource Policies > Files > Compression. For instructions, see Defining resource policies: Web compression on page 349. You may also create resource profile compression autopolices through the Users > Resource Profiles > Web > Web Applications/Pages page of the admin console. For instructions, see Defining a Web compression autopolicy on page 304. If all of these conditions are met, the IVE runs the appropriate resource policy either compresses or does not compress the data accessed by the user based on the configured action.
NOTE: If all of these conditions are not met, the IVE does not run the appropriate resource policy and no resource policy items appear in the IVE log files.

Upgrading from a previous version

The IVE comes pre-equipped with three resource policies that compress Web and file data. If you are upgrading from a pre-4.2 version of the IVE and you previously had compression enabled, these policies are enabled. Otherwise, if you previously had compression disabled, these policies are disabled. The Web and file resource policies created during the upgrade process specify that the IVE should compress all supported types of Web and File data, including types that were not compressed by previous versions of the appliance. All data types that were not compressed by previous product versions are marked with an asterisk (*) in the supported data types list below.

Supported data types

The IVE supports compressing the following types of Web and file data: text/plain (.txt) text/ascii (.txt)* text/html (.html, .htm)

840

Licensing: Multi-language support availability

Multiple languages are supported on all Secure Access appliances. Note, however, that the localized customized sign-in pages feature is not available on the SA 700 appliance and is only available on other appliances by special license.

Encoding files
Character encoding is a mapping of characters and symbols used in written language into a binary format used by computers. Character encoding affects how you store and transmit data. The encoding option in Users > Resource Policies > Files > Encoding allows you to tune the rewriter to support localized pages during rewrite and file browsing. The encoding option does not affect the end-user language environment. To specify the internationalization encoding for IVE traffic: 1. In the admin console, choose Users > Resource Policies > Files > Encoding. 2. Select the appropriate option: Western European (ISO-8859-1) (default) (Includes English, French, German, Spanish) Simplified Chinese (CP936) Simplified Chinese (GB2312) Traditional Chinese (CP950) Traditional Chinese (Big5) Japanese (Shift-JIS) Korean 3. Click Save Changes.

Localizing the user interface

The IVE provides a means to display the end-user interface in one of the supported languages. Combining this feature with (custom) sign-in and system pages and a localized operating system provides a fully localized user experience. When you specify a language, the IVE displays the user interface, including all menu items, dialogs generated by the IVE, and the help file in the chosen language for all users regardless of which realm they sign in to.

Handheld devices and PDAs

In addition to allowing users to access the IVE from standard workstations and kiosks, the IVE also allows end-users to access the IVE from connected PDAs, handhelds and smart phones such as i-mode and Pocket PC. When a user connects from a PDA or handheld device, the IVE determines which IVE pages and functionality to display based on settings in the System > Configuration > Client Types page of the admin console. By default, settings in this page specify that when accessing the IVE using a(n): i-mode deviceThe IVE displays compact HTML (cHMTL) pages without tables, images, JavaScript, Java, or frames to the user. Depending on which features you enable through the admin console, the end-user may browse the Web, link to Web bookmarks, single sign-on to other applications, and edit their preferences (including clearing their cache and editing their IVE/LDAP password). The IVE allows i-mode users to access supported features using access keys on their phones keypad as well as through standard browse-andselect navigation. Pocket PC deviceThe IVE displays mobile HTML pages with tables, images, JavaScript and frames, but does not process Java. Depending on which features you enable through the admin console, the end-user may access Mobile Notes, browse the Web, link to Web bookmarks, single sign-on to other applications, and edit their preferences (including clearing their cache and editing their IVE/LDAP password). PDA and handheld users cannot access the admin console or most of the IVEs advanced options, including file browsing, Network Connect, Secure Meeting, Telnet/SSH, Email Client, Host Checker, and Cache Cleaner, since PDA and handheld devices do not generally support the ActiveX, Java, or JavaScript controls on which these features depend. Also note that i-mode users cannot access cookie-based options, including session cookies and SiteMinder authentication and authorization, since most i-mode browsers do not support HTTP cookies. The IVE rewrites hyperlinks to include the session ID in the URL instead of using cookies. The IVE reads the session ID when the user accesses the URL.

Licensing: Handheld and PDA support availability

Handheld devices and PDAs are only supported on SA 700 appliances that are licensed for Web browsing.

Task summary: Configuring the IVE for PDAs and handhelds

To properly configure the IVE to work with PDAs and handheld devices, you must: 1. Enable access at the system levelIf you want to support browsers other than the defaults provided with the IVE, you must enter the user agent strings of the PDA and handheld operating systems that you want to support in the System > Configuration > Client Types tab. For more information, see Defining client types on page 849. For a complete list of PDA and handheld browsers that are supported with the IVE, see the Supported Platforms document posted on the Support website. 2. Evaluate your user roles and resource policiesDepending on which IVE features you have enabled, you may need to either modify your existing roles and resource policies for PDA and handheld users or create new ones. Note that: Mobile device users cannot access roles or policies that require Host Checker or Cache Cleaner since handheld devices do not generally support the ActiveX, Java, or JavaScript controls on which these features depend. You can disable these options through the following tabs: Users > User Roles > Role > General > Restrictions Resource Policies > Web > Access > Web ACL> Policy > Detailed Rules Mobile device users may have trouble reading long role names on their small screens. If you require users to pick from a list of roles when they sign in, you may want to shorten role names in the Users > User Roles > Role > General > Overview tab. Mobile device users may have trouble reading long bookmark names on their small screens. You can edit Web bookmarks in the following tabs: Users > Resource Profiles > Web Application Resource Profiles > Profile > Bookmarks Users > User Roles > Role > Web > Bookmarks Resource Policies > Web > Access > Web ACL> Policy > General

Chapter 37: Handheld devices and PDAs

Although advanced features such as file browsing are not supported for PDAs and handhelds, you do not need to disable them in the roles and resource policies used by mobile device users. The IVE simply does not display these options to mobile device users. 3. Evaluate your authentication and authorization serversThe IVE supports all of the same authentication and authorization servers for PDA and handheld users as standard users, except the eTrust SiteMinder policy server. SiteMinder is dependent on cookies, which are not supported with i-mode browsers. 4. Evaluate your realmsDepending on which IVE features you have enabled, you may need to either modify your existing realms for PDA and handheld users or create new ones. Note that: Mobile device users cannot access the IVE when they try to sign into a realm that requires Host Checker or Cache Cleaner since handheld devices do not generally support the ActiveX, Java, or JavaScript controls on which these features depend. You can disable these options through sub-tabs in the System > Configuration > Security page. Mobile device users cannot authenticate against an eTrust SiteMinder server. You can choose a different authentication server for the realm in the Users > User Realms > Realm > General tab. Mobile device users may have trouble reading long realm names on their small screens. If you require users to pick from a list of realms when they sign in, you may want to shorten realm names in the Users > User Realms > Realm > General tab. 5. Evaluate your sign-in policy to useIf you want to use a different sign-in page for Pocket PC users, you can define it in the Authentication > Signing In > Sign-in Pages tab and then create a sign-in policy that references the page using options in the Authentication > Signing In > Sign-in Policies tab. Or, if you have the Advanced license, you can create a custom sign-in page using the Pocket PC template files that are available in sample.zip. 6. Specify allowed encryption strengthDifferent types of devices allow different encryption strengths. You should specify the encryption strength in the IVE to match the requirement of your devices. For example, mobile phones often only accept 40-bit encryption. Review your end-users device requirements and specify the allowed encryption strength on the System > Configuration > Security tab.

Defining client types

The Client Types tab allows you to specify the types of systems your users may sign in from and the type of HTML pages the IVE displays when they do. For more information, see Handheld devices and PDAs on page 847. To manage user agents: 1. In the admin console, choose System > Configuration > Client Types.

Juniper Networks Secure Access Administration Guide

2. Enter the user agent string that corresponds to the operating system(s) that you want to support. You may be as broad or specific as you want. For example, you can use the IVEs default setting of *DoCoMo* to apply to all DoCoMo operating systems, or you can create a string such as DoCoMo/1.0/P502i/c10 to apply to a single type of DoCoMo operating system. You may use the * and ? wildcard characters in your string. Note that user agent strings on the IVE are case-insensitive. 3. Specify which type of HTML the IVE should display to users who sign in from the operating system specified in the previous step. Options include: Standard HTMLThe IVE displays all standard HTML functions, including tables, full-size graphics, ActiveX components, JavaScript, Java, frames, and cookies. Ideal for standard browsers, such as Firefox, Mozilla, and Internet Explorer. Compact HTML (imode)The IVE displays small-screen HTML-compatible pages. This mode does not support cookies or the rendering of tables, graphics, ActiveX components, JavaScript, Java, VB script, or frames. (The only difference between this option and the Smart Phone HTML Basic option is the user interface.)Ideal for iMode browsers. Mobile HTML (Pocket PC)The IVE displays small-screen HTMLcompatible pages that may contain tables, small graphics, JavaScript, frames, and cookies, but this mode does not facilitate the rendering of java applets or ActiveX components. Ideal for Pocket PC browsers. Smart Phone HTML AdvancedThe IVE displays small-screen HTMLcompatible pages that may contain tables, small graphics, frames, cookies, and some JavaScript, but this mode does not facilitate the rendering of java applets, ActiveX components, or VB scripts. Ideal for Treo and Blazer browsers. Smart Phone HTML BasicThe IVE displays small-screen HTMLcompatible pages. This mode does not support cookies or the rendering of tables, graphics, ActiveX components, JavaScript, Java, VB script, or frames. (The only difference between this option and the Compact HTML option is the user interface.) Ideal for Opera browsers on Symbian.
NOTE: The IVE rewrites hyperlinks to include the session ID in the URL instead of using cookies.

4. Specify the order that you want the IVE to evaluate the user agents. The IVE applies the first rule in the list that matches the users system. For example, you may create the following user agent string/HTML type mappings in the following order: a. User Agent String: *DoCoMo* Maps to: Compact HTML

b. User Agent String: DoCoMo/1.0/P502i/c10 Maps to: Mobile HTML If a user signs in from the operating system specified in the second line, the IVE will display compact HTML pages to him, not the more robust mobile HTML, since his user agent string matches the first item in the list.

Chapter 37: Handheld devices and PDAs

To order mappings in the list, select the checkbox next to an item and then use the up and down arrows to move it to the correct place in the list. 5. Select the Enable password masking for Compact HTML checkbox if you want to mask passwords entered in iMode and other devices that use compact HTML. (Devices that do not use compact HTML mask passwords regardless of whether or not you select this checkbox.) Note that if your iMode users passwords contain non-numeric characters, you must disable password masking because iMode devices only allow numeric data in standard password fields. If you disable masking, passwords are still transmitted securely, but are not concealed on the user's display. 6. Click Save Changes.

Enabling WSAM on PDAs

When defining client/server applications to secure through Windows Secure Application Manager (WSAM) on PDA devices, you should define PDA-specific applications through the Users > User Roles > Select Role > SAM > Applications > Add Application page. Listed below are some PDA-specific executable files that you might want to enable for PSA devices:
tmail.exeSpecifies the Pocket Outlook application

The IVE supports the following modes through Pocket Outlook: S-IMAP/S-POP and S-SMTP ActiveSyncIf the supported PDAs to which you are providing Pocket Outlook access are using ActiveSync, you must ensure that the IP address of the Exchange Server appears in the list of destination hosts defined within the user role.
mstsc40.exeSpecifies the Windows Terminal Services application iexplore.exeSpecifies the Pocket Internet Explorer application NOTE: When using an existing WSAM role configuration originally set up for

Windows PC users to provide secure access PDA users, ensure that the list of destination hosts defined within the user role is no larger than 1500 bytes. Very large lists of destination hosts can lock up the WSAM launcher on PDA devices due to memory buffer constraints.

Licensing: Custom expressions availability

The custom expressions feature is an advanced feature that is not available on the SA 700 appliance.

Custom expressions
The IVE enables you to write custom expressions that are evaluated in role mapping rules, resource policies, and log filter queries. A custom expression is a combination of variables that the IVE evaluates as a boolean object to true, false, or error. Custom expressions enable you to better manage resource access control by providing a means to specify complex statements for policy evaluation and log queries. You can write custom expressions in the following formats. Note that elements of these formats are described in greater detail in the table that follows: variable comparisonOperator variable variable comparisonOperator simpleValue variable comparisonOperator (simpleValue) variable comparisonOperator (OR Values) variable comparisonOperator (AND Values) variable comparisonOperator (time TO time)

The elements used in these custom expression formats are described in the following table:
Table 56: Custom expression elements
variable Represents a system variable. A variable name is a dot-separated string, and each component can contain characters from the set [a-z A-Z 0-9_ ] but cannot start with a digit [0-9]. Variable names are case-insensitive. For system variables that you may use in role mapping rules and resource policies, see System variables and examples on page 860. When writing a custom expression in a log query field, you need to use system log variables. These variables are described in the Filter Variables Dictionary on the Filter page (System > Log/Monitoring > Events | User Access | Admin Access > Filters > Select Filter tab). Quoting syntax for variables: The IVE supports a quoting syntax for custom expression variables that allows you to use any character except '.' (period) in a user attribute name. To escape characters in an attribute name, quote some or all of the variable name using { } (curly-braces). For example, these expressions are equivalent:
userAttr.{Login-Name} = 'xyz' userAttr.Login{-}Name = 'xyz' {userAttr.Login-Name} = 'xyz' userA{ttr.L}{ogin-}Name = 'xyz'

Escape characters supported within quotes:

\\ \{ \} \hh

represents a \ (backslash) represents a { (left curly-brace) represents a } (right curly-brace) represents a hexadecimal value where hh is two characters from [0-9A-Fa-f]

Notes: There is no limit to the number of quotes you can use in a variable name. You can use the quoting syntax with any variablenot just userAttr.* variables. You need to use curly-brace quotes only when writing custom expressions. comparisonOperator is one of the following:

Strings can be any length. String comparisons are case-insensitive. Strings can be quoted with single- or double-quotes. A quoted string may contain wildcards, including star(*), question mark (?), and square brackets ([ ]).

Use a backslash to escape these characters: single-quote (') \' double-quote (") \" backslash (\) \\ hexadecimal \hh [0-9a-fA-F] Note about day: Day and time comparisons are evaluated in the IVEs time zone. Day range (day TO day) calculations start with the first day and step forward until the second day is reached. In time range (time TO time) calculations, the first value must be earlier than the second value. Only time variables can be compared to day and time values. The time variables are: time.* and loginTime.*. time is the time of day in one of the following formats: HH:MM 24-hour HH:MMam 12-hour HH:MMpm 12-hour H:MM 24-hour H:MMam 12-hour H:MMpm 12-hour Day and time comparisons are evaluated in the IVEs time zone.

Custom expressions

Appendix A: Writing custom expressions

Table 56: Custom expression elements (Continued)

isEmpty

is a function that takes a single variable name (variable) argument and returns a boolean value. isEmpty() is true if the variable is unknown or has a zero-length value, zero-length strings, and empty lists. Example: isEmpty(userAttr.terminationDate)

isUnknown

is a function that takes a single variable name (variable) argument and returns a boolean value. isUnknown() is true if the variable is not defined. User attributes (userAttr.* variables) are unknown if the attribute is not defined in LDAP or if the attribute lookup failed (such as if the LDAP server is down). Example: isUnknown(userAttr.bonusProgram)

NOT, !

is the logical negation comparisonOperator. The negated expression evaluates to true if the customExpr is false and evaluates to false if the customExpr is true. The operators NOT, AND, and OR are evaluated from highest
to lowest precedence in this order: NOT (from right), AND (from left), OR (from left).

OR, ||

is the logical operator OR or ||, which are equivalent. The operators NOT,
AND, and OR are evaluated from highest to lowest precedence in this order: NOT (from right), AND (from left), OR (from left).

AND, &&

is the logical AND or &&, which are equivalent. The operators NOT, AND, and OR are evaluated from highest to lowest precedence in this order: NOT (from right), AND (from left), OR (from left). is an expression written in the Custom Expression Syntax (see above).

customExpr

Wildcard matching
You may use wildcards within a quoted string. Supported wildcards include: star (*)A star matches any sequence of zero or more characters. question mark (?)A question mark matches any single character. square brackets ([ ])Square brackets match one character from a range of possible characters specified between the brackets. Two characters separated by a dash (-) match the two characters in the specified range and the lexically intervening characters. For example, dept[0-9] matches strings "dept0", "dept1", and up to "dept9". To escape wildcard characters, place them inside square brackets. For example, the expression ' userAttr.x = "value[*]" ' evaluates to true if attribute x is exactly "value*".

DN variables and functions

You can compare a distinguished name (DN) to another DN or to a string, but the IVE ignores wildcards, white space, and case. Note, however, that the IVE takes the order of DN keys into consideration. When the IVE compares an expression to a DN to a string, it converts the string to a distinguished name before evaluating the expression. If the IVE cannot convert the string due to bad syntax, the comparison fails. The DN variables are:
userDN certDN
Custom expressions

859

Juniper Networks Secure Access Administration Guide

certIssuerDN

The IVE also supports DN suffix comparisons using the matchDNSuffix function. For example:
matchDNSuffix( certDn, "dc=danastreet,dc=net")

Within the parenthesis, the first parameter is the full DN and the second is the suffix DN. You can use a variable or string for each parameter. Note that this first parameter should have more keys than the second (suffix parameter). Otherwise, if they are equal, it is the same as <firstparam> = <secondparam>. If the second parameter has more keys, matchDNsuffix returns false.

Using system variables in realms, roles, and resource policies

You can use system variables to define user realm attributes, role settings, and resource policies. Using system variables in this way allows you the flexibility to configure certain parameters dynamically based on LDAP attributes or other information available for the user. When specifying variables, use the standard variable syntax <variable> as in <user> and <time>. (For a list of system variables, see System variables and examples on page 860.) When adding an attribute to a variable, use the syntax <variable.attribute> as in <userAttr.SourceIP> and <group.sales>. The IVE allows the use of system variables when configuring the following user roles settings: Web bookmarksBookmarked resource (actual URL) Windows/NFS File bookmarksFile resource (server, share or path) Telnet/SSHhost name JSAMExchange Servers, Custom Client-server host names WSAMhost names and IP/Netmasks Terminal ServicesApplication hosts UI Options\Custom Welcome TextThe greeting message can contain any system variables

NOTE: You can use the <USER> substitution variable in ACLs for web pages, telnet,

files, SAM. You cannot use the variable in Network Connect ACLs. This section contains the following information about using system variables in realms, roles, and resource policies: Using multi-valued attributes on page 870 Specifying fetch attributes in a realm on page 871

Juniper Networks Secure Access Administration Guide

Specifying the homeDirectory attribute for LDAP on page 872

Using multi-valued attributes

Multi-valued attributesattributes that contain two or more valuesprovide you with a convenient method for defining resources that expand into multiple individual bookmarks on the users bookmarks page. For example, assume that the users LDAP directory contains the multi-valued attribute HomeShares: \\Srv1\Sales;\\Srv2\Marketing. When you configure the Windows File share resource definition using the HomeShares multi-valued attribute, \\<userAttr.HomeShares>, the user sees two bookmarks:
\\Srv1\Sales \\Srv2\Marketing

Now lets assume the users LDAP directory contains a second multi-valued attribute defined as HomeFolders: Folder1;Folder2;Folder3. When you configure the Windows File share resource using both of the multi-valued attributes, \\<userAttr.HomeShares>\<userAttr.HomeFolders>, the user sees the following six bookmarks:
\\Srv1\Sales\Folder1 \\Srv1\Sales\Folder2 \\Srv1\Sales\Folder3 \\Srv2\Marketing\Folder1 \\Srv2\Marketing\Folder2 \\Srv2\Marketing\Folder3

The only exception to this functionality is when the variable includes an explicit separator string. In this case, only one bookmark containing multiple resources displays on the users bookmark page. You specify the separator string in the variable definition using the syntax sep=string where string equals the separator you want to use. For example, to specify a semi-colon as the separator, use the syntax <variable.Attr sep=';'>. Use the following syntax for multi-valued attributes handling. Note that <variable> refers to a session variable such as <userAttr.name> or <CertAttr.name>:
<variable[Index]>You specify indexes in a variety of ways. If, for example,

the total number of values for a given index is 5, and you want to specify the entire range of values you use <variable[ALL]>. If you want to specify only the fourth value, you use <variable[4]>.
<variable> is the same as <variable[ALL]> <variable sep='str'> and <variable[All] sep='str'> These variable definitions always refer to a single string value with all the tokens expanded out with separator strings between the values.

870

Appendix A: Writing custom expressions

NOTE: Variable names cannot contain spaces.

Specifying multi-valued attributes in a bookmark name

Another common case of using multi-valued attributes occurs when you include a variable in a bookmark name and in a URL or file server/share field. For example, again assume that the users LDAP directory contains the multivalued attribute HomeShares: \\Srv1\Sales;\\Srv2\Marketing. When you configure the Windows File share resource definition using the HomeShares multi-valued attribute, \\<userAttr.HomeShares>, and you use the same attribute in the bookmark name field, <userAttr.HomeShares>, the IVE creates two bookmarks:
Srv1\Sales bookmark pointing to \\Srv1\Sales Srv2\Marketing bookmark pointing to \\Srv2\Marketing

This does not create a situation in which you end up with the following set of conditions:
Srv1\Sales bookmark pointing to \\Srv1\Sales Srv1\Marketing bookmark pointing to \\Srv1\Marketing (error) Srv2\Sales bookmark pointing to \\Srv1\Sales (error) Srv2\Marketing bookmark pointing to \\Srv2\Marketing

Specifying fetch attributes in a realm

To facilitate the support for various parameterized settings in user roles and resource policies, you have the ability to specify additional "fetch attributes. The IVE stores the fetch attributes when users log in so that you can use them in parameterized role or resource policy definitions. The IVE pulls all the attributes that are currently stored in the Sever Catalog for the user's authentication or authorization LDAP server. So, make sure to add the LDAP user attributes that are used in role or resource policy definitions in the LDAP Server Catalog first. When a user logs in, the IVE retrieves user attributes that are referenced in the role mapping rules plus all of the additional attributes referenced in the Server Catalog and stores all these values. Note that this should not incur a significant performance overhead because all the user attributes are retrieved in one single LDAP query.
NOTE: When you substitute variables, such as in IP/Netmasks, host names, etc., the values in the session are appropriately converted into the data type that is required by the particular application definition.

Specifying the homeDirectory attribute for LDAP

You can create a bookmark that automatically maps to a users LDAP home directory. You can accomplish this using the LDAP attribute homeDirectory. You need to configure a realm that specifies the LDAP server instance as its auth server, and you need to configure role-mapping rules and a bookmark that points to the LDAP homeDirectory attribute. For more details, see Creating Windows bookmarks that map to LDAP servers on page 380.
